Use this calculator to accurately calculate the length of a cable or conductor.

This online calculator assists in determining the length of a cable or conductor, taking into account the sag that naturally occurs in cables. When a cable is suspended between two points, it typically forms a parabolic shape due to its flexibility. As a result, the cable length between the two points will be greater than the original distance. This calculator uses the cable span and sag to calculate the cable or conductor length.

    L = S + \frac{8d^2}{3S}

    where,

    • L = Cable Length
    • S = Cable Span
    • d = Cable Sag
