Policy: Uses circular area formula (πr²). Max fill: 40% for conduits (NEC), 50% for trays (TIA-569-C).
Growth margin applied before sizing. Final layout must consider bends, splices, and future access.

Notes
—
This summary is a design aid. Final design must be verified against NEC Article 300, TIA-569-C, and site-specific conditions.
Maintain separation from power circuits and ensure proper grounding of metallic pathways.
