Cat 5e cabling requires testing to 200 MHz operation and additionally for ANEXT and AELFEXT. The
maximum supported distances may be reduced depending on alien crosstalk levels. The support for untested
cable installations is best-effort.
2
Cat 6 cabling requires testing for ANEXT and AELFEXT. The maximum supported distances may be reduced
depending on alien crosstalk levels.
3
Cat 6 cabling requires TIA TSB-155A testing for 500 MHz operation and ANEXT.
4
For distances less than 20km, a 10dB attenuator must be used. For distances between 20km and 40km, a 5dB
attenuator must be used. Attenuators can be purchased from most cable vendors.

Mode conditioning patch cord

The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiber-optic cables are connected to a Gigabit-
LX port or a 10-Gigabit LRM port. Multimode cable has a design characteristic called "Differential Mode Delay",
which requires the transmission signals be "conditioned" to compensate for the cable design and thus prevent
resulting transmission errors.
