A tool that computes how many fibers fit in a circular bundle and splits them into user-defined segments for cable-assembly planning. Key Parameters: • Center Diameter, Fiber Diameter, Packing Efficiency, Section Count Calculation: Visualization: • Color-coded radial diagram with per-section. If exports show “No calculation found,” run the calculation first. Reel count is ceil (Total ÷ ReelSize), and the rounded order length equals Reels × ReelSize. The result is rounded down to the nearest whole number If you're calculating fiber with integral buffer and/or jacket, the TOTAL diameter, including buffer/jacket should be used.
