Dutch term or phrase: fysiek maken
I am currently working on a short IT translation, and am struggling with the above term.

The context is as follows:

"Na het afsluiten van dit project kennen de studenten de in en outs van het bekabelen van netwerkvoorzieningen via diverse uitvoeringen van kabelgoten. Het monteren van kabels in een patchkast is geoefend, zoals ook het fysiek maken van diverse soorten kabels."

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.

Many thanks,

Anne

constructing


Explanation:
Als ik het goed begrijp uit de tekst, worden de kabels door de studenten zelf 'from scratch' gemaakt. Manufacturing klinkt weer teveel alsof het in de fabriek gebeurt.

the actual making of different types of cable


Explanation:
Ik zou het houden op "making".
"To construct" heeft naar mijn gevoel meer te maken met het optrekken van een structuur, zoals een gebouw.
"Assembling" is dan weer het samenvoegen van verschillende afgewerkte onderdelen, wat bij die kabels waarschijnlijk niet het geval is.

Ik was m'n antwoord vergeten te posten (venster was blijven openstaan) en had dat van Marijke nog niet niet gezien. Ik ben het dus eens met haar. Ik zal haar dadelijk 's een "agree"geven.
