Default Anyone know the capacitance per meter of T&E cable?

I'd guess at 50pF per meter meself..that sort of order..more than ten,
less than a hundred..


Well cat5e / cat6 is just under that at 49.

If you are really bothered I have an LCR bridge in the workshop..


I can probably do a couple of emprical experiments with some cut lengths
and match the value to the length.

(in fact the handbook suggests using a 50ft length and ramping the pF/m
up or down until you reach the "right" answer...)
