Cable Length Determination

There are many times when there is a need to verify the cable. Reasons include: the cable had been cut and it was unclear as to the length removed, verification of the cable record book, checking a cable length in the yard, or just being sure you have enough line to get to bottom. Whatever the reason having a quick, easy and accurate means of determining the cable length is invaluable. This technical bulletin outlines the formulae on how to accurately
determine the length using only an ohm meter, and access to both ends of the cable. For best results use a good quality meter with 5 digit resolution, and follow these steps.
