cordon-connecteur (câble souple à interconnexion)


Explanation:
Its’ typical Australian terminology for flexible cords for interconnection:

Soft wiring is a simple, effective, plug-and-play installation method that saves time, increases safety and allows rewiring.
The pre-terminated cables and matching sockets snap simply together to ensure a flexible, fast and secure fit-out.
https://www.clipsal.com/Trade/Products/Cable-Management/Soft...

Elsafe lead the way in the design of soft wired data solutions allowing customers flexibility and reliability. Click here to see more.
http://www.elsafe.com.au/

The method of installing the conductors for soft wiring systems is by laying or placing the cables in ducts or cable trays. Within the definition of the Electricity Safety Act 1998, the installation of soft wiring systems is clearly electrical installation work.
:
As the flexible cords used in soft wiring systems would generally exceed 2.5 m and are not covered in any of the other exceptions from being considered installation wiring, they are deemed installation wiring.

4.3.2.2 Installation coupler
An installation coupler, enclosed or unenclosed, that meets the requirements of AS/NZS 61535 is a suitable method for the electrical connection of cables, including flexible cords, flexible cables and rigid (solid or stranded) cables.
NOTES:
1 Installation couplers are intended for permanent connection between sections of wiring, particularly in ‘soft’ wiring systems, in which case they are treated in the same manner as a junction box.
2 Installation couplers require a deliberate act to disengage the latching mechanism and are not to be engaged or disconnected under load or to be used as socket-outlets

By utilising a simple ribbon cable connection, all control circuit wiring can be eliminated within the control panel, this being replaced by "soft" wiring within the PLC.,
:
Un module d'extension E/S numérique et des modules de réseau AS-i ou Profibus DP sont disponibles pour les contrôleurs Easy600, 700, 800 et MFD-Titan. Cependant, comme il n'existe qu'un connecteur à l'extrémité droite du contrôleur, une seule de ces options peut être mise en œuvre

Alterations or additions are easy to carry out due to the innovative five-pin installation couplers and cabling design, which saves time and money. The simple range of components can be configured to suit any type of installation requirements, providing you with the most flexible soft wiring solution available on the market.

neutral  FX Fraipont (X): that is "flexible cords/cables" as used in your own references. // very VERY different : http://tinyurl.com/pics-cordons-connecteurs

  -> soft wiring = flexible cord with connecteurs = cord set = cordon-connecteur, standardized term. Hard wiring is fixed without connecteurs, terminated in terminals. // Exactly the same, see Annex.
