convertimate Cable capacitance per length

Microfarads per kilometer to nanofarads per kilometer

Type a value in µF/km to get it in nF/km instantly.

16,200nF/km

That's 54× as capacitive as a buried power cable — nothing on our list beats it. A 30 m run of it adds about 486 nF.

What it means

How capacitive is that cable?

Conductor-to-shield (or conductor-to-conductor) capacitance as data sheets give it.

The math

How to convert µF/km to nF/km

To convert microfarads per kilometer to nanofarads per kilometer, multiply by 1,000.

Example: 16.2 µF/km × 1,000 = 16,200 nF/km.

In the other direction, 1 nF/km = 0.001 µF/km.
