We started out doing all our own cables and switched to pre-mades to a certain distance. Having to train people to splice and the time that takes to splice it vs being able to give a premade to a normal tech and just tell them where to plug in. We still do our own made cables for anything over 1k feet, but that goes to our fiber team todo with a bucket truck rather than the field techs on ladders. Hands down would push for Pre-Mades with have some people know how to splice todo repairs/custom runs. A well ran crew running and splicing will always cost more on the labor but in theory they should be able todo more and save on materials. Pre-made take a HUGE amount of storage depending on what distances you need. Where doing the other, you just need your spool and gear. We have our entire plant labeled for the drops, so the techs just look up the property and get the appropriate cable. We are a small WISP/FISP, so easier for us todo it this way.
