Obtaining VoP Values
There are three ways to obtain VoP values for a cable:
1. VoP values for the most common cable types are included in the Cable
Length Meter. They can be estimated based on these values or using
the chart on page 11.
2. The VoP can usually be obtained by checking the cable specifications
or contacting the manufacturer.
3. The VoP can be found using a known length of the cable that will
be used during testing (see Determining an Unknown VoP Value
section).
