A large bundle of cables connecting points is called a?

• A. Harness
• B. Cable loom
• C. Cable tree
• D. Trunk

Answer: (B)

This question is about how engineers name the way many cables are gathered and routed. A large bundle of cables that run between points is called a cable loom because it emphasizes the bundled pathway itself, often bound together and sometimes enclosed to guide and protect the wires as they travel from one location to another. It helps organize lots of conductors in a single, manageable bundle, making installation and maintenance easier.

A cable harness, while also a bundled set, usually refers to an assembly that is designed to connect to a device or system, with connectors at the ends and often treated as a single unit for installation. A trunk is typically the main feeder cable or channel, not the general term for a bundled network of cables. A cable tree isn’t a standard term for this concept. So the term that best fits a large bundle of cables connecting points is cable loom.
