You'd need to have stock items for each type of cable - then you can look at usage, current stock in each warehouse etc. If you use lots control for each box of cable (controlled but not serialised) then you will get each box listed with the quantity remaining in each when you do a lot inquiry - that will add to the total in the warehouse for the item.

Serial number control is not required - you can do it by lot (or box). You can't keep units in a category property though - these are only to add more detail and describe the actual item - not a box/lot.

You can enter stock quantities using inventory adjustments.... or if you are entering quantities in bulk a stock check.
