Cable Type displays the ID, Cable Name and
Fill, and allows you to select an entry (with its
associated parameters) from the current Cable
Book, to use for testing. The selection is not
saved when leaving the test. The current Cable
Book entry is shown by default.
Cable Gauge identifies the gauge system for
measuring wire sizes, in AWG (American Wire
Gauge) units or mm (metric wire size).
Cable Fill read-only entry is the type of
material the cable is filled with: Aircore, Jelly,
Pulp, 5 PR, or 2 PR.
Capacitance T-R/A-B read-only entry is a
value for the capacitance per length constant
used to calculate distance to opens.
Capacitance T/R to GND/A/B to E read-only
entry is a value for the capacitance per length
to ground constant.
Attenuation @ 300 kHz read-only entry is a
value in dB for the reduction in signal strength
or insertion loss of the cable at a frequency of
300 kHz. (This frequency has been widely used
as a loss measurement for ADSL, but not
validated for ADSL2+ nor VDSL2.)
Velocity of Propagation read-only entry is the
velocity of propagation for the cable. This value
is used to convert the timed TDR pulses into a
distance for the cursor position.
Resistance read-only entry is a value for the
resistance constant of the cable.
Cable Length allows you to set the length of
the cable for more accurate results.
Cable Temperature allows you to change the
temperature of the cable under test in either °F
or °C.

TDR
The FaultMapper TDR function provides a shortcut to
the TDR test. A dialogue box opens, warning that you
are about to leave the FaultMapper test. TDR results
captured while running FaultMapper will be available
upon loading TDR. Please go to
information on this test.
