Short answer: every surplus offer starts from the same facts — fiber count, fiber type, part number, footage and date code. They are printed in two places: the tag on the reel flange and the legend on the cable jacket. FutureNet Telecom USA prices every reel from photos of those two things. Here is what each line means and exactly what to photograph.
The cable jacket carries its own legend, repeated along its length: the manufacturer, the month and year it was made, the fiber count and type, and sequential length marks. The federal specification for rural broadband cable requires those marks in feet or meters at intervals of not more than 5 ft (7 CFR 1755.870 (RUS fiber cable specification)).
Read the unit. The same cable family can be marked in feet on one product and meters on another, and a number read in the wrong unit is off by a factor of three.
The jacket is also the backup when the tag is gone: it alone identifies the cable and, at both ends, gives the footage. See how much fiber is left on a reel.
