Twisted Pair Autotest Results
The tests listed below apply to twisted pair cabling.
Note
Some tests are not included in some test limits.
 Wire map
 Resistance
 Length
 Propagation delay
 Delay skew
 Insertion loss (attenuation)
 Impedance
 NEXT (near-end crosstalk)
 PS NEXT (power-sum near-end crosstalk)
 ACR-N (attenuation to crosstalk ratio at the near end)
 PS ACR-N (power-sum attenuation to crosstalk ratio, near
end)
 ACR-F (attenuation to crosstalk ratio at the far end)
 PS ACR-F (power-sum attenuation to crosstalk ratio, far end)
 Return loss
 HDTDR and HDTDX analyzers (optional tests, not required by
any test limit. See Chapter 6.)
PASS*/FAIL* Results
A result shows an asterisk when measurements are in the tester’s
accuracy uncertainty range (Figure 20) and the asterisk is required
by the selected test limit. These results are marginal.
 A PASS* shows that the cable’s performance is
satisfactory. If a cable must get a PASS result to agree with
your requirements for quality, identify and correct the
problems with the cable and do the Autotest again.
