patch code quantity?

2004-10-19 by Greg Wuller

I have a slightly different patch cord question - hopefully one of the 
seasoned veterans on this list can offer some sage advice...

I'm building a system which basically fills the typical 24U x 2 row 
case. Having never patched a modular before I'm at a bit of a loss when 
it comes to the number of cables to buy. My crude estimation attempt 
landed me at roughly 53 (just counting up the number of inputs across 
all modules I could see used in a fully patched mutli-timbrel setup). 
Does 53 sound a bit high to anyone with a system of this size? For 
reference it consists of:

4 x 300
4 x 800
2 x 190
1 x 101
1 x 120
2 x 320
2 x 420
2 x 440
2 x 485
1 x 700
1 x 820
1 x 890
1 x UEG
1 x FS
and
1 x 650   (with fingers are crossed for Feb 2005 :)

I figure about 2/3 of the cables would be 2-3 ft while the remaining 
1/3 would be 1 ft or 4 ft (and longer).

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks,

-greg
