TIA level III measurement parameter and tester accuracy requirements per
TIA Category 6 Draft – Addendum to TIA-568-B and ISO/IEC 61935-1 draft
amendment 1, 10/99
The ratio of the measured attenuation and the near-end crosstalk
(NEXT) at each frequency point.
Computed for each pair by calculating a power sum total of the
pair-to-pair NEXT from the three other pairs.
