Planning your cable length prevents waste, reduces cost, and ensures you have enough cable to complete your installation.
Can I use this for any type of cable?
Yes, this calculator works for electrical, network, coaxial, or any other cable type, as long as you know the run length.
Should I add extra length for slack?
