In cable testing it is common practice to specify the signal
propagation velocity in term of half the actual velocity.
When employing the reflection technique, this is a usual
way of taking twice the signal travel path into account. To
depict a reflection on the screen, the signal has to travel
from the meter to the fault and back. If the

various cables are listed in a table, these values can directly
be used to convert the measured signal propagation time t

into fault distance E.
