English translation:pigtail cable SLACK
Explanation:
The text refers to the LENGTH of cable. Pigtail and drop are kinds and/or sections of cable. The GANANCIA here refers to the amount of cable length that can be taken up. )IE. the length of pigtail + the slack left in the drop cable. SLACK = MARGEN DE GANANCIA (AQUÍ)

Sorry, I've just realised that it's actually the DROP CABLE SLACK in this case.

neutral  Sergio Campo: Cindy, after reading Gary's answer and the source text more carefully, I am not so sure about it anymore. It is clearly speaking about a length of cable. I don't think the term "margen de ganancia" is properly used to refer to "cable slack" though

  -> I don't think they're using "margen de ganancia" correctly here, and while they may be talking about the length of the cable, I don't think it's referring to slack.
