(the default assumed capacitance on the tester is set for cat5, but you
can vary it over quite a range)

Probably quicker to measure it than ask on here. Set tester to 50pf/m
and measure a known length, then you'll know its C/m. I wouldnt be
surprised if its lower than cat5.

Nb dont measure a reel of it, as that will have a load of extra
capacity, plus L in the equation too.
