Tech/Engineering
Portuguese term or phrase: cabelagem
"Os franceses estão a negociar com a Clabinal a possibilidade do grupo vir a instalar uma fábrica de cabelagens na antiga fábrica da Renault em Setúbal."

I could not find it in my monolingual Portuguese dictionary so it could be a typo. Before I contact the client though I would like to receive your input, if any. Thanks a lot!

English translation:Literally, "cabling,"
Explanation:
as in the context of running cables for computer networks, or installing the power and/or communications wiring in computer rooms in business establishments. In your context, however, with the contemplated conversion or renovation of a facility belonging to a major automobile manufacturer (Renault), the automotive term "wire harnesses" could be more applicable, if your context supports the idea that the plant would be used to make cables and wires for cars and/or other motor vehicles. -- Best regards, HC
