But products with non-detachable cables don't have their length varied in the field according to which disturbance they are being exposed to. I can't see any justification for altering the length of a non-detachable cable. If its length magnifies or attenuates the disturbance, so be it, that is what happens in real life. Consider the incongruity of testing, say, a vacuum cleaner with a 0.5 m cable. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
