The problem of calibration is you assume none of the changes in condition between the calibration and the experiment matters to the applicability of the calibration results to the experiment. If this assumption is not challenged, then calibration is good. But if this assumption is challenged, then you measure the actual experiment, and can't rely on calibration.
The experiment is to test whether photon propogate isotropically. But signal traveling through the cable, whether it is an electrical signal, or a fiber optic signal, are still electromagnetic and relies on photons as its messenger particle. So if you are testing whether photon travel isotropically, to assume the calibration of the wire holds during the experiment is to assume the conclusion.
