Create a channel from or to a connector
A device can only be placed at the beginning or at the end of a channel edge. You can either start the edge from a device or terminate the edge with a device. When you select a connector, Cabling automatically calculates a connection point in front of the connector as the next edge point. If the edge has already been started, and as a connector can only be at the end of the edge, the edge is automatically terminated.
1. Click Spline Channel and then, in the Channel group, click Create. The Spline Channel Editor dialog box opens.
2. Click the Create tab.
3. Click and select the first connector.
* 
Select or clear the Show Solids check box at any time to show or hide the solid representation of the channel, respectively.
4. Click again and select the second connector.
5. Click to complete the operation.
The following image shows a channel between two connectors.

The distance of the edge end point to the connector is a user-defined setting (SC_CHANNEL_TO_DEVICE_DIST). It defaults to 10 mm.
