CABLE LENGTH MEASUREMENT
The tester measures the length of both twisted-pair and coaxial cables. If the tester is not
calibrated to the cable under test, then factory default cable characteristics are used to
compute the length. If a more accurate length measurement is desired, refer to
“CALIBRATING CABLE LENGTH” described on this manual.
Before a length measurement is made, the tester perform “Test Cables” described on this
manual to prevent any cable failures from corrupting the length measurement.
Cable length measuring procedure:
1. Select cable type under test.
2. Connect the cable and test to the appropriate connector on the tester.
3. Press LENGTH key.
4. Use

key to scroll selection multiple displays.
The information that is displayed depends on the type of cable selected. For twisted pair
cable, each pair has corresponding length measurement. A 5% difference in length
between pairs is uncommon. Coaxial cables must be unterminated for the tester to display
the cable’s length.
