Equal level far end crosstalk (ELFEXT)
Measures far end coupling between pairs in the cabling run under test. Measured
for all pair combinations.

Attenuation to crosstalk ratio (ACR)
Computed by subtracting the measured attenuation from the measured near end
crosstalk (NEXT) at each frequency point.
Power sum NEXT (PSNEXT)
Computed for each pair by calculating a power sum total of the pair-to-pair
NEXT from the three other pairs.
Power sum ELFEXT (PSELEXT)
Computed for each pair by calculating a power sum total of the pair-to-pair
ELFEXT from the three other pairs.
