coded? I've come across a lot of red connectors with "circuit détrompé", I've also found an example of "réseau détrompé" (haute qualité), which was interesting, so my question is, is this just a colour coding of the circuit? I'm beginning to believe this has something to do with computers.

In that case... ... Terry's answer certainly makes a lot of technical sense, though I am still puzzled by the apparently odd use of the word 'détrompé' here — unless, for example, special coloured (or otherwise marked) cable is used for running such circuits... ????

Courant fort It's in a paragraph entitled 'courant fort'.

Tony M Nov 13, 2008:

Possibly... It's certainly one of the options, Miranda... but at the same time, a little difficult to see why they would be citing that here. Are there any clues to indicate whether this applies to BOTH 'courants forts' AND 'courants faibles' or only the latter (where it would at least have some technical meaning) — or only the former, where I really can't see what it could be meant to mean?

I think this is one where (unless the rest of your document makes it clearer) you have no choice but to seek clarification from your client.

The only other thought I had was that it perhaps means 'dedicated circuits' (as distinct from 'general-purpose' ones) — but in that case I find the use of that term curious.

Could this be 'polarized circuit'? - a guess!
