Various frequently used cable types are predened here (for a list, see page 14). The cable to
be tested/measured is selected from the list of di󰀨erent cables.
The name and the corresponding VF value are assigned to the respective cable type (see page
14). The cable type name appears in the stored or printed result. In contrast, the VF value is
needed for the TDR function.
You can also add to and change the predened cable types (see page 14).
Settings > Test Settings
> Cable Denition
The cable denitions are created here with a name and VF value, which can be selected for the
cables to be tested/measured (see page 14).
Predened cable types and associated VF values:
BELD DATATWIST 72% BELD 3600 PB29 72% UC300 HS24 S/F 67% LEONI E5-70 S/ 80%
BELD MEDIATWIST 72% BELD 4800 PB29 70% UC500 AS23 F/F 79% LEONI F6-80 S/ 80%
BELD 10 GX 68% DRAKA UC300 67% UC900 HS23 S/F 79%
BELD 1200 NP28 72% DRAKA UC500-15 79% UC900 SS23 S/F 77%
BELD 2400 PB28 72% IS PROFINET 66% LEON D1-20 SF/ 75%
Additional cable types can be created as well. Proles that have already been created can also
be overwritten.
After selecting the cable type to be edited, or alternatively an item without an entry, select it with
SEL. Name:| is displayed. A unique cable name can be entered here. There are 15 available
character slots. At the ashing cursor position, the ▲ and ▼ keys can now be used to scroll
through the alphabet, all digits 0–9 and an empty position. The digit or letter to be positioned at
the cursor position is selected with SEL. Once the name has been entered, conrm with SEL.
Speed: xx% will appear. This is the propagation speed in the cable, the VF value, as a percent-
age of the speed of light. Enter either the value specied by the cable manufacturer, the previ-
ously determined value, or an approximate value.
Tip: Phone and Cat3 cables have a value of approx. 64-68, Cat5/6 cables approx. 72, and Cat6/7
approx. 77.
After entering the VF value, save with SEL. This allows you to quickly and easily predene the
cable types you use.
> Wiring Denition
Correctly selecting the wiring version to be tested is essential for obtaining good/bad informa-
tion. Only if this pin to pair assignment matches can crosstalk be checked reliably. With the
KE7200, not only a wire-to-pin assignment is checked but also whether the pair assignment is
correct. This is done at a high frequency in order to obtain relevant information.
There are 15 di󰀨erent predened wiring options to help you make the selection. The abbrevia-
tions UTP, STP, and CR contained therein are described on page 13. After selecting the Wir-
ing Denition menu item, the Created Wiring Denitions list will appear:
