CAT5e DC resistance

Does anyone know if the resistance/100M quoted for CAT5e solid cable is
per conductor or per pair or for the cable as a whole? I suspect it's
per conductor but can't find a definite statement on the web.

The only figure that matters is the per conductor figure.

It is a shame you didn't answer the question that was asked!
Read it again.

? 0.188 Ohm per Metre...

It doesn't make sense to be anything other than per conductor - why
try to complicate it?

Yeah, per conductor, depending on who makes it, it goes as low as 0.09
ohm per meter but per pair or for all four pairs? I assume per conductor
but...

PER CONDUCTOR.... each wire, however you like to phrase it ! lol

And it should read as EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN - for some reason my mailer
cocked up that symbol, sorry.

I guess OE tries to be clever and produce a "less than or equal to"
symbol that only Windows understands, rather than just leaving it as

No, you're almost definitely right and it does make sense, it's just the
little voice nagging me that it might not be quite right.

It's probably not too important for the application either as there
will be 3 pairs that I can use but calculating the worst case gives me
unacceptable losses that may mean having to pull additional cables via a
very difficult route. Note, it's not going to be used for Ethernet.

If the cable's already in place would it not be easier just to stick a
meter on it?
