Cable Configuration
The Cable Configuration page is only required if
using theoretical calculated attenuation pass/fail. The
page allows you to set cable parameters for the WB
Attenuation test. Each time the Cable Configuration
is changed, the total equivalent attenuation table will
be recalculated and redrawn.
No. of Cable Sections allows you to set the

number of consecutive cable sections, to a
maximum of 4. If unknown, set the number to 1.
Cable Type # displays the number of a cable

section set above, 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. For each section, the selected
Cable Type must have attenuation data available or else the total
equivalent attenuation can not be calculated. The selection is not
saved when leaving the test. The current Cable Book entry is shown by
default.
Section Length specifies the cable length of each section. The total

length for all cable sections cannot exceed 8000 m or 24000 ft. If you do
not enter a length for each section selected, the total equivalent
attenuation can not be calculated.
Cable Attenuation Data is set to Yes for each cable section selected.
