Cable Math Formula.?.

[Therrin Eber]

Hi friends,

Adding weight to the arbor is always a bear, especially when the the powers that be forget to calculate cable weight in the final weights.

I once came across a list of weight by foot for cabling formula... and can not find it again... Anyone know anything like this? Did I dream it? Did I just think of the next app that all master electricians will want?

Tell me if I'm crazy or not.

Thanks Internet!

There is a list out there, it may even be in the backstage handbook, but I have not seen it in a while. Soca cable is usually about a half pound per foot; that's what use as a rule of thumb.
