pF/cm = nF/cm × 1000
About Nanofarads per centimetre
The nanofarad per centimetre (nF/cm) equals 10⁻⁷ F/m, used in power cable and high-voltage capacitor characterisation. High-voltage XLPE power cables (230 kV) have capacitance per unit length of 0.1-0.2 nF/cm; oil-impregnated paper capacitors used in power factor correction banks are characterised in nF/cm. 1 nF/cm = 10⁻⁷ F/m = 10³ pF/cm.
About Picofarads per centimetre
The picofarad per centimetre (pF/cm) equals 10⁻¹⁰ F/m = 100 pF/m, used for transmission-line capacitance per unit length in RF engineering. A standard 50 Ω air-dielectric coaxial line has capacitance per unit length ≈67 pF/m ≈0.67 pF/cm; PTFE coax gives ≈0.9 pF/cm. RF substrate characterisation often quotes pF/cm. 1 pF/cm = 10⁻¹⁰ F/m.
