12. Measuring and saving the speed factor
You require a cable with a known length of more than 10 metres, e.g. 20 m. You must know the
exact length. Measure it again, if necessary, to double check.
•
Connect the test cable to the BNC coaxial cable connection (5) or plug the RJ45 connector
plug of a data cable into the network cable connection (6), depending on the cable type.
