What Is Cable Schedule and Junction Box Schedule
Cable and Junction Box schedules are deliverables prepared by instrumentation and control
design engineers in EPC or EPCM Companies. In this article, we shall learn about the
same.
Inputs Required
Below listed references are the required inputs for the preparation of the document “Cable
Schedule”.
P&IDs
Instrument Index and Instrument I/O List
I&C Design Basis
Basic Engineering Design Data
Cable Schedule
Cable Schedule is a document containing a list of Instrument cables. This document shows
cable as well as gland required by each instrument or connection.
Cable Number
Cable Type / Specification
Cable Size
Cable Length
Source and destination termination description
Cable gland type and size for each incoming cable
Cable schedule will be referred also during the construction phase; however, it is not
recommended to cut the cable based on the length information stated on the cable
schedule. For actual cutting during installation, the common practice is to pull the cable from
its drum and cut it in the field.
The junction box is an enclosure used for cables interconnection between field devices and
the control room.
It encloses terminal strips for cable termination. Junction box shall be designed to suit
environmental condition where the box will be installed and shall have certification of
Ingress Protection code and hazardous area protection which conform to the classified area.
Junction Box consists of the following parts, but not limited to:
The terminal block which comprises terminal strips for cable connections
Gland plate (for non-metallic junction box) for cable gland earthing
An insulated earth bus bar for overall cable screen termination (optional, drain wire
could be connected to terminal strip)
Breather/drain plug
Mounting Rail complete with end bracket

JB Schedule is a document containing a list of instrument JB. This document shows cable
as well as gland required by each instrument or connection.
JB Number
JB Type / Specification
JB Size
JB Location/Area
Source and destination termination description
gland type and size for each incoming cable
JB schedule will be referred also during the construction phase, however, it is not
recommended to install JBs based on the location information stated on the JB schedule.
For actual installation, the common practice is to refer Location Layout.
