CABLE ON A REEL
CABLE ON A REEL
(OP)
Greetings,
can anyone point me to a formula or rule of thumb for estimating cable on a reel? Either how much is on a full reel or how many feet can I put on a reel.
I recognize a simple calculus problem there but I'm too far removed from school to dredge it out of my stodgy brain cells. Can anyone help?
Thanx in advance, Steve

Damn.... I wish I had that when I worked doing inventory for electrical supply houses in college. We had an extremely complicated formula that probably did the same thing, but it took us about 1/2 hour on a slide rule to work through all the parts of the equation for each reel! I offered to condense the equation for my boss at one time, but he didn't trust me (after all, I was just a 20 year old snot-nosed kid) and insisted that we stick to his tried and true version. The one shown there is probably the condensation of that formula.
