What do the sequential markings on the cable help the installer determine?

• A. Total length of cable
• B. Cable color code
• C. Pull tension rating
• D. Minimum bend radius

Answer: (A)

Sequential markings along the cable act as a built-in ruler, showing exactly how far the cable has been unspooled. This lets the installer determine the total length installed (and how much remains) for the planned run and to ensure the run meets the required length with proper slack. The marks aren’t about color coding, which is handled by color patterns, nor indicate pull tension or minimum bend radius, which come from other specifications and not the distance markings.
