parameters for the currently highlighted Cable ID.
Cable ID displays the cable ID number. This

parameter that cannot be modified.
Cable Name is the name of the cable in the Cable

Book.
Cable Gauge is the gauge system for measuring

wire sizes in AWG (American Wire Gauge) units
or mm (metric wire size).
Cable Fill allows you to select the type of material the cable can be

filled with: Aircore, Jelly, Pulp 5, PR, or 2 PR.
Capacitance T-R/A-B allows you to specify a value for the capacitance

per length constant.
Capacitance T/R to GND/A/B to E allows you to specify a value for the

capacitance per length to ground constant.
Resistance allows you specify a value for the resistance constant of the

cable.
Attenuation @ 300 kHz allows you to specify a value for the reduction

in signal strength or insertion loss of the cable.
VOP is the velocity of propagation for the cable defined in m/μsec

(meters per microsecond), and as a ratio and percentage of the speed
of light.
Temperature specifies the temperature of reference at which all cable

parameters have been measured.
Add function key adds the new cable entry to the Cable Book.
