[V]

Valley - any void between the insulated conductors of cable or between a cable core and it's covering. See also interstice

Velocity of Propagation - The transmission speed of electrical energy in a length of cable compared to speed of light in free space. Usually expressed as a percentage.

VHF - Very High Frequency. International Telecommunication Union designation for the 30-300 MHz band of frequencies.

Video Pair Cable - a transmission cable containing low-loss pairs with impedance of 125 ohms. Used for TV pick ups, closed circuit TV, telephone carrier circuits, etc

Volt - A unit of electromotive force.

Voltage - Electrical potential of electromotive force expressed in volts.

Voltage Levels - power-limited 0-300 volts, low voltage 600-2000 volts, medium voltage 5000-69000 volts.

Voltage Rating - The highest voltage that may be continuously applied to a cable construction in conformance with standards or specifications

Voltage Stranding Wave Radio (VSWR) - the ratio of the maximum effective voltage to the minimum effective voltage measured along the length of miss-matched radio frequency transmission line.

Volume Resistively (Specific Insulation Resistance) - the electrical resistance between opposite faces of a 1 cm. cube of insulating material, commonly expressed in ohms/centimeter.
