Twisted Pair >
Test Limit
SETUP > Nominal velocity of propagation, which is used with the measured propagation delay to determine
Twisted Pair > cable length. The default value defined by the selected cable type represents the typical NVP for that
NVP cable type. You may enter a different value if necessary. To determine the actual value, change the NVP
until the measured length matches the known length of a cable. Use a cable at least 15 m (50 ft) long.
The recommended length is 30 m (100 ft).
Increasing the NVP increases measured length.
To access the settings, turn the rotary switch to SETUP,
