Maybe 36” for drop, depending on the type of drop.

On second pass, I was probably picturing a 40,000 foot reel being bigger than
it really is.

Yes, just pull it off at the job site. Or if you have a good idea on
lengths, make hand coils.

Do you just spin the reel by hand to spool out what you need?

We just use the large reel. Get a reel holder that you can pull behind a
vehicle.

As I'm getting into larger quantities of fiber, I'm finding that I will get
the best pricing on 40,000 ft reels of drop cable.
If we do that, then I'll need some kind of payoff system to transfer cable
onto smaller spools for field techs. I have no idea where to begin shopping
for that, but I'm betting somebody here has been down this road before. What
should I be looking at?
