Abstract
During the stringing of fiber optic cable on utility poles, there is a need for making splices of that cable at each pole where a terminal is to be located for connection of that cable to, e.g., a house. Cable slack is needed for those splices, and certain lengths of slack are optimum. Apparatus and methodology for enabling a lineman to make accurate and convenient optimum length measurements of a slack portion of fiber optic cable during the stringing of the cable on utility poles is disclosed.
