Cable
Certified, independently tested cabling -- manufactured to ISO9001/ISO14001 standards and verified against Australian and NZ standards.
Cable Quantity & Box Calculator
Work out how many metres and 305 m boxes of network cable a job needs, and check the longest run.
Along the cable path from the rack to the outlet, not in a straight line.
Service loops and termination at both ends.
Results
Cable needed: 1,003 m
Boxes to order: 4
Left over: 217 m
Longest run with slack: 73 m
Runs over 90 m will not pass certification for Ethernet; plan a closer switch or fibre for them.
How it works
Each run is its length plus slack. The runs are added up and a waste allowance goes on top, and the boxes are that total divided by the box length, rounded up. The longest run with slack is checked against the 90 m permanent link that TIA-568 allows (100 m including patch leads).
