parameter details of the currently highlighted cable
entry.

Cable ID displays the cable ID number.

Cable Name is the name of the cable in the Cable
Book
.

Cable Gauge is the gauge system for measuring
wire sizes in AWG (American Wire Gauge) units
or mm (metric wire size).

Cable Fill is the type of material the cable is filled
with: Aircore, Jelly, Pulp, 5 PR, or 2 PR.

Capacitance T-R/A-B specifies a value for the capacitance per length
constant.

Capacitance T/R to GND/A/B to E specifies a value for the capacitance
per length to ground constant.

Resistance specifies a value for the resistance constant of the cable.

Attenuation @ 300 kHz specifies a value for the reduction in signal
strength or insertion loss of the cable.

VOP is the velocity of propagation for the cable as a ratio of the speed
of light.

Temperature specifies the temperature of reference at which all cable
parameters have been measured, in either F (Fahrenheit) or C
(Celsius) units. The measurement units are updated based on the
Temperature settings in Setup/Application Settings/Standard.
