Notes:
- NEXT
accuracy is calculated at the Basic Link Limit
(29.3 dB) per error model in TSB-67 A.3
- NEXT
accuracy is calculated at the channel Limit (27.1
dB) per error model in TSB-67 A.3
- Performance
assumes a high performance modular 8 plug
- Attenuation
accuracy calculated per error model in TSB-67 A.3
Memory
- Test
Storage: Up to 500 complete Autotest results can
be stored
- Control:
Flash memory allows electronic upgrading in
remote locations
Autotest
Functions

suite of tests to determine if cable meets
generic cabling or network type requirements (TIA
TSB-67, ISO Class C, D, 10-Base T, Token Ring,
Fast Ethernet, ATM 155 etc.)
- Up
to 20 user definable Autotest programs

Noise
- Impulse
Noise: Detects the occurrence of narrow impulse
type events exceeding an adjustable threshold of
± 0.262, 0.524, 1.0, 2.0 or 2.5 vo lts.
Instantly displays up to 200 impulse noise events
per second. Graphically logs and displays impulse
events for up to 25 hours. Termination impedance:
200 ohms.
- Peak
to Peak Noise: Measures the peak to peak voltage
of steady state noise signals. Range: 0 to 3,000
mVpp into 100 ohms. Bandwidth: 3dB from 40 kHz to
30 MHz
Wire
Map
- Uses
Injector for complete mapping of wiring at both
ends of the cable
- Finds
miswires, opens, shorts, split pairs
- Includes
test of shield if connected
Length
- Range:

915 meters (3000 ft) for twisted pair cable =
1200 meters (4000 ft) for coaxial cable
- Accuracy:
± K ± Length Resolution ± NVP uncertainty
where K=4% of length or 0.6 meters (2 ft),
whichever is greater Length Resolution: 0.3
meters (1 ft)
Loop
Resistance
- Range:

- Accuracy:
± 20 pf @ 0 to 200 pF ± 10% @ 200 to 100,000 pF
High
Voltage Input/Protection:
- The
test interface withstands input hazard conditions
that arise from normal telephone interfaces (48
VDC at less than 80 mA) or 24 VAC power used to
power many telephone keysetsTSB-67 Level II
