1) Magnitude limits apply over the frequency range from 10 to 500 MHz

2) Phase limits apply over the frequency range from 50 to 500 MHz

3) When the measured plug NEXT loss is greater than 70 dB, the phase limit does not apply 4) When a low limit NEXT loss calculation results in values greater than 70 dB, there shall be no low limit for NEXT loss

5) When a high limit NEXT loss calculation results in values greater than 70 dB, the high limit NEXT loss shall revert to a limit of 70 dB

1) Magnitude limits apply over the frequency range from 10 MHz to 250 MHz

2) Phase limits apply over the frequency range from 50 MHz to 250 MHz

3) When the measured plug NEXT loss is greater than 70 dB, the phase limit does not apply 4) When a high limit NEXT loss calculation results in values greater than 70 dB, there shall be

no high limit for NEXT loss Refer to Table H.2 for an explanation of the high limit

5) When a low limit NEXT loss calculation results in values greater than 70 dB, the low limit shall revert to 70 dB Refer to table H.2 for an explanation of the low limit

6) When the NEXT loss magnitude exceeds 70 – 20 log (f/100), the phase requirement does not apply

7) The requirements for 1-2,4-5 and 4,5-7,8 do not exclude plugs that meet cases 9 and 11, respectively, shown in table H.2, because such plugs are acceptable for field tester adapters
