    Ring finals and fused spurs

    Evening all. The OSG says "As a rule of thumb for rings, unfused spur lengths should not exceed 1/8 the cable length from the spur to the furthest point of the ring.". Okay, so what is the maximum length for a fused spur then? I don't seem to be able to find the answer in the OSG or BBB...
