Is there an excuse for a 20ft Cat6 Ethernet cable to have 36μH on all wires?


I was just measuring the inductance of the 20ft (6m) Cat 6 Ethernet cable I just bought. I'm aware that 525 nH/m is what's expected for each wire, so that ought to have been 3.15μH. I've measured consistently a 36μH inductance for all the wires, which is 10 times what's expected. Is there an excuse for this??

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
