Example
In absence of further guidance from network operators, the cable lengths that result in the attenuation values given in Table H.2 or cable simulators that provide an equivalent line attenuation value (measured at 300 kHz) shall be used during testing. Other cables lengths used shall be documented in the test report.
Table H.2 – Example cable attenuation
This is from the test standard. (Someone transcribe it.)
I think Example cable attenuation should be Example of cable attenuation.
Is that right?
Thank you for your help.

I really don't think the 'of' is either necessary or helpful here.
The point is, this is presumably a table that gives lots of examples of cable attenuation; if this is the case, using 'example' in the singular to qualify 'cable attention' follows standard EN practice.
However, by adding 'of', 'example' becaomes a noun in its own right — in which case, it would probably need to be made plural 'examples of cable attenuation'.
Just try imagining it with the 'adjective' 'example' reaplced by (say) 'typical'...
