    Low-Voltage Conduit Fill Calculator (%)

    What is the conduit fill limit for low-voltage cable?

    The NEC Chapter 9 Table 1 percentages apply: 53% for one cable, 31% for two, and 40% for three or more, with 60% allowed in a nipple of 24 inches or less. ANSI/TIA-569 and Article 800/770 also recommend a 40% ceiling for communications pathways. This tool applies the Table 1 value matching your cable count.
