Figure C-2. Building Cable Budget
Formulas
The formulas used to create the table for the UTP Cable Length
Worksheet for Multiple Wiring Closets yield values equal to the
length of internal cabling within wiring closets (see Figure C-3) in
a multiple closet configuration. The term Internal Trunk
Length refers to trunk cabling length within the wiring closet,
adjusted to give consideration to ARL. The actual calculation
used in the table is described as follows:
