BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Add straight route segments from measured three-dimensional points, plus specified end tails and slack. Measurement only, not electrical sizing, bend-radius selection or installation planning.

Length = sum of 3D point-to-point distances × (1 + supplied slack fraction) + end tails.Calculated with normalised units

Joins points with straight lines. Bends need additional measured points. No cable size, electrical performance, conduit choice or installation method is selected.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
