CALCULATING RING LENGTH

Formulas
Two formulas were used to create the tables for the UTP Cable
Length Worksheets. The first defines the cabling for a single
wiring closet with only one rack and the second for multiple racks
within the wiring closet. The difference between the two
formulas is accounted for by the cabling between the racks within
a wiring closet. The term Internal Trunk Length refers to the
trunk cable length within the wiring closet, adjusted to give
consideration to ARL. The actual calculations used in the table
are as follows:
