Cable Length Calculator
Estimate cable length with service loops and bends
Input Parameters
How It Works
The calculator estimates total cable length by adding:
- • Base distance (point-to-point)
- • Bend allowances (based on minimum bend radius: 8× cable diameter)
- • Service loop length (for maintenance access)
- • Slack allowance (typically 10% for installation ease)
- • Termination allowances (connectors, splices)
Always order 10-15% extra cable to account for routing variations and installation challenges.
