Which statement best captures spare-capacity planning in a CRCF?

Spare-capacity planning in a CRCF is about provisioning growth ahead of need across multiple dimensions, not just one element. It means keeping spare ports available on patch panels or switches, having spare panels to add new modules, and ensuring spare pathways or conduits so you can route additional cables without disrupting existing work. It also relies on a modular expansion approach so capacity can be added quickly and with minimal rework, combined with simple, clear labeling to identify and route new cables as demand grows. This holistic approach keeps the facility scalable and minimizes downtime when expanding. Focusing only on ports misses the other critical resources, while not planning for growth or buying labels alone neither provides future capacity nor practical means to implement it.
