In a pathway designed to accommodate up to 100 cables, what is the maximum number of cables that can be installed initially?

The idea being tested is planning for future growth by not filling a pathway to its maximum capacity right away. When a pathway is designed to hold up to 100 cables, installing a portion of that capacity initially helps keep space for future additions, keeps pulling and routing manageable, and reduces the risk of crowding that can affect bend radii and labeling. Installing about 40 cables initially leaves 60 spaces open for future cables, giving room to add as needs grow while keeping installation practical and compliant with standard bend-radius and fill guidelines. Choosing a much smaller number wastes available capacity, while installing too many initially makes future upgrades difficult and can lead to crowded pathways and compromised cable management.
