We just finished a big project that included running a bunch of cable for workstations. We have another such project scheduled for the end of the year. Though we bought a bunch of new boxes of cable for this last project and I'm confident that we have enough cable for this next one, I'd like to be sure.
The idea occurred to me that we could cut out a section of cable and weigh it, then weigh the boxes of cable, determine the weight of an empty box and subtract that, then use division to determine how many feet of cable are left in the box. Has anyone done anything like this before? What kind of scale did you use? Is there a better way to do this?
