Alien Crosstalk: Measuring in the Field Is Important – How Is It Done Today?
Overview In this paper, the author provides the latest information on alien crosstalk field measurements and to begin to frame the discussion on why it is important, when one should consider alien crosstalk field measurements, and how to measure it. Further related topics worth discussion are time trials for the testing operations versus the test equipment deployment including use of additional stimulators and understanding the 10GBASE-T alien margin computation pass/fail criteria versus the alien crosstalk limit lines pass/fail criteria.
