coude franc


Explanation:
Ce pdf offre une illustration assez éloquente:

" IMPORTANT
The signal cable for the top node unit (NU) must be wired at the innermost part in the field control area as the figure shows.
When fixing cables to a clamp, allow enough space so that the cards can be maintained.
Bind the bottom cables to the clamp bar on the channel base.
• Push in the signal cables for the top NU as far as they will go.

Figure Signal Cabling
I/O Module with Signal Cable Interface Adapter Cabling
Make a blunt curb for wiring when the dedicated cable is connected to an I/O module."

bord arrondi


Explanation:
Sounds like dodgy EN to me, but I'm assuming this is some kind of bar with a rounded edge used to support cables as they enter the rack; I don't think this is usual terminology for it, though!

If you can find out a bit more about the actual form it takes, then you could probably come up with a more accurate translation.

agree  GILLES MEUNIER: It's strange 'blunt', may be it's just round...

base de la courbe en "U"


Explanation:
Voir la page 3-22 dans ce document; cherchez "blunt curb". Cette profondeur correspond au 90mm montré.
Je crois que "blunt curb" est le résultat d'une mauvaise traduction. Le sens est probablement "courbe serrée" ou quelque chose d'approchant.
