Additionally, cables must also pass test parameters for Return Loss and
Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The Additional Transmission
Performance Guidelines for 100 Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”
Note that when testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch
cables between switches and end devices.
Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling
If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test
parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be
applied to try to correct the problem:
1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category
5e or better cables.
2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.
3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
