1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Physical Layer Compliance Tests Manual
Intel Confidential 23
1000BASE-T MDI Return Loss
6 1000BASE-T MDI Return Loss
IEEE Standard 40.8.3.1
6.1 Test Purpose
To measure the return loss on all four channels at the MDI.
6.2 Specification
The return loss for each transmit/receive channel shall be:
≥ 16 dB from 1 MHz to 40 MHz, and
≥ 10 – 20LOG(f/80)dB from 40 MHz to 100 MHz, where f is in MHz.
