which will not come within the manufacturers'
minimum pricing schedules. In general, unless very
large quantities are involved, lower overall cable
costs can be effected by using manufacturers'
standard assemblies, even though more conductors
than required are provided, instead of a cable
requiring a special setup. Short lengths may be
eliminated by substituting cables which will have
sufficient quantity to obtain the manufacturers'
minimum price. Substitution may consist of a larger
number of conductors than required, or a combination
of assemblies of a smaller number of conductors.
The most economical cable schedule for any
particular installation can be obtained only by
careful study of all factors involved, particularly
increased conduit costs.
