Bundle Diameter Calculator

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the number of cables in your bundle (minimum 1)
2. Enter the diameter of each individual cable in millimeters
3. Optionally, enter the gap between cables in millimeters (if applicable)
4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the bundle's outer diameter
5. Review the formula and parameters explanation for better understanding

Principle of Calculation

This calculator uses the geometric arrangement of cables in a circle to determine the outer bundle diameter. The formula assumes cables are arranged in a circle with equal spacing, where the distance between centers of adjacent cables is calculated based on the number of cables and the specified gap.

Example

If you have 5 cables each with a diameter of 2.0 mm and no gap between them, the outer bundle diameter would be approximately 16.57 mm. If you add a 0.5 mm gap between each cable, the outer diameter increases to approximately 23.58 mm.

Applications

This calculator is useful in various industries including:

• Electrical engineering for cable management
• Telecommunications for fiber optic bundle packaging
• Automotive industry for wire harness design
• Manufacturing for cable bundling in industrial settings
