Create an inventory template for the cable models in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application. You can use this template to instantiate a cable record and related stand records.

## Use case {#create-inventory-tenplate-cable-models__section_avh_fnk_3tb}

The following example shows an inventory template for a cable model.
Figure 1. Inventory template for the card model

After saving the inventory record, it creates the related strand templates depending on the count mentioned in the network model relationship.
Figure 2. Related strand templates of a cable template

The default naming pattern of a strand record is "Strand-+position". You can edit the Name Pattern field.
