Cable spool measurement systems and methods

A cable spool measurement system, comprising:

• a cable feed device, including:
• a base;
• a spool arm extending from the base;
• and
• a spindle extending perpendicularly away from the spool arm, the spindle to receive and rotatably support a cable spool;
• a weight sensor, the weight sensor arranged within the spindle to determine a weight of the cable spool;
• and
• a processor in communication with the weight sensor, the processor to determine a weight change of the cable spool during use and calculate an amount of cable remaining on the cable spool based on the weight change of the cable spool.

• a line counter, the line counter arranged around a portion of a cable extending from the cable spool to determine an amount of cable removed from the cable spool;
• and
• a processor in communication with the line counter, the processor to subtract the amount of cable removed from the cable spool from an original amount of cable on the cable spool to determine an amount of cable remaining on the cable spool.
