Determining an Unknown VoP Value
Follow these instructions to set the Length Constant based on a sample cable
of known length. The Cable Length Meter can calculate a VoP from a test cable
length of 25 to 1000 ft. (10 to 300 m). Longer cable lengths will give more
accurate results. It is recommended to use at least 50' (20 m).
1. Prepare a length of the same type of cable for which you need to determine the VoP.
2. Determine the actual length of the test cable length using the markings on the
cable, a tape measure, laser distance meter, etc.
3. Connect the test cable length to the Cable Length Meter as described in
"MEASURING CABLES" section.
