Meter for measuring cable capacitance


Hello! I looking for a recommendation for a suitable capacitance meter. I own a Fluke 117 and although it has settings to measure capacitance, it doesn’t read cable(guitar cable) capacitance. Just reads “1” regardless of cable length. Not sure if this is because it doesn’t have a pico farad setting. Not sure. 
 

Thanks in advance!

   Here's a cheapo that goes down to .1 pF:

    At the other end of the $$ spectrum: this will go down to nF and can vary frequencies.

     Hurry though, as that one will be discontinued in December.     😉

Just so you know, capacitance is only measured across 2 different conductors, unlike R and L.

Many capacitance meters HATE to be shorted. Capacitance of 1m wire should only be figured using an oscilloscope.

to gain necessary impedance safe for capacitance meter, you should have around few hundreds of meters of same wire tested as positive and negative terminal. 1m is waaay too short!!
