Specific reference points of interest in MHz within the swept frequencies. A specific frequency point in megahertz (MHz) for which the data indicated is applicable. The calculated response LIMIT in db at the indicated frequency point as calculated using applicable equations defined by the appropriate standard. The worst case measured response in db at the frequency indicated for all tested pairs. The band of measured values from 1 MHz to the upper frequency LIMIT as defined by the category of test. The minimum margin in db detected across the Frequency band. A composite value calculated from the maximum response of each pair or pair combination at a given frequency. (WorstCase 1MHz = Max( 1MHz, 1MHz, 1MHz,Pr4 1MHz ) etc. If Provided are for reference only. Limit line(s) are provided for reference and are calculated as the difference between the applicable NEXT Loss and Insertion loss limits (ACR limit = NEXT limit - Il. limit ).
