Chapter 3: Installation Requirements and Specifications

Crosstalk

Crosstalk is caused by signal coupling between the different cable pairs contained within a multi-pair cable bundle. 10BASE-T transceivers are designed so that the user does not need to be concerned about cable crosstalk, provided the cable meets all other requirements.

Noise

Noise is caused by either crosstalk or externally induced impulses. Impulse noise may cause data errors if the impulses occur at very specific times during data transmission. Generally, the user need not be concerned about noise. If noise-related data errors are suspected, it may be necessary to either reroute the cable or eliminate the source of the impulse noise.

Temperature

Multi-pair PVC 24 AWG cables typically have an attenuation of

8 dB to 10 dB/100 meters at 20°C (68°F). The attenuation of PVC insulated cable varies significantly with temperature. At temperatures greater than 40°C (104°F), Cabletron Systems recommends the use of plenum-rated cables to ensure that cable attenuation remains within specification.
