FAQ
Common questions
What cable types does it support?
Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7, in both riser and plenum jackets, plus fiber — with pricing you can edit to match your suppliers.
Does it calculate cable footage automatically?
Yes. Footage comes from the actual runs drawn on your floor plan, not manual counting, and includes a configurable waste allowance.
Can I export a cable schedule?
Yes — every project generates a full cable schedule with ID, origin, destination, cable type, and length.
Is there a free cabling-only tool?
Yes. Data Cabling Manager is a focused, cabling-only alternative to the full planner, and the drop calculator is always free.
