NEXT worst case result screen
Note:
if no remote is detected, then the instrument continues testing after 1s. In this
case the operator must ensure a proper termination.
NEXT PLOT screen
After entering this screen individual or all NEXT (frequency) plots together with test
standard limit curve are shown on the display. Margin and NEXT at the cursor position
are displayed under the graph.
The following actions can now be performed:
ESC key:
return to NEXT result screen
NEXT PAIR:
view next plot
Left, Right key:
move cursor left and right to view margin and result at selected frequency
Up, Down key:
move cursor up and down along the amplitude axis

5.3.4 ELFEXT, Remote ELFEXT
FEXT (Far End Crosstalk) defines crosstalk caused by the coupling of a signal from a
pair transmitted on one cable side into an adjacent pair with the receiver on the other
side.
ELFEXT (Equivalent Level Far End Crosstalk) is calculated from FEXT and the
attenuation on the receiver pair.
The main result is given as the worst case margin in dB to the test standard limit. High
ELFEXT causes typical crosstalk problems: data corruption, retransmittions etc.
