I can get better pricing on larger drop cable reels, but they get unwieldy.
If I use short (1000', 2000') reels then I feel like every single one comes back with 200' left on it and that's too short for almost any fiber install. Basically 10-20% is just thrown away in that case.
What size spools are you getting? Do you guys buy a respooler and have installers crank out what they need onto smaller spools, or do you equip installers to handle big reels such as with a trailer? Or what?
I'm unused to the logistical problems of large quantities of cable, so I'm assuming I'm doing it all wrong.
