Chapter 19: Custom Media and Test
Make a Custom Copper Cable Type
If a twisted pair or coaxial cable installation has a cable type that
is not in the list of types in the tester, you can make a custom
cable type for the job. A custom cable type has these settings:
Custom cable name
Standard cable type used for default values
NVP (nominal velocity of propagation)
You can make up to 20 custom cable types. The tester keeps
custom cable types with the other cable types in the main tester
(not in the module). The names of custom cable types have an
asterisk (*) at the start and end.
Use the values specified by the cable manufacturer to make the
custom cable type.
