Which quota should be applied to the fiber optic reel
Direct Answer: Select each cable drum length according to the actual route section, installation method, splice plan, cable construction, handling equipment and transport limits. The longest possible reel is not automatically the best choice. A practical drum schedule should identify every reel. Fiber optic cable reel length planning is one of those LLD details that gets treated like an afterthought, right up until a project manager calls asking why the splice count doubled from the estimate. I've seen it happen on FTTH builds in rural Mississippi, on middle-mile routes through the hill.
