+1 on this we have actually complained enough about this the vendor that we usually buy most of our cable from give us an extra 20’. We have also refused 20k feet of fiber as the shipping company laid the spool on it’s side.

When I get 1000' spools, they've always been spot on (as far as matching the cable markings) Is this just the discrepancy in the tolerance of the cable markings at that distance?
