Crosstalk

Unwanted signal transfer between adjacent cable pairs. Crosstalk occurs because electrical signals passing through a cable pair create an electromagnetic field that transmits the signal to nearby pairs.

CSV Data

Abbreviation for comma-separated variable. A list of data separated by commas. When CSV data is loaded into a spreadsheet application, the application puts each comma- separated value into a separate cell.

EIA 568A

Electronic Industries Association Commercial Building Telecommunications wiring standard. Specifies maximum cable lengths, installation practices, and performance specifications for generic building wiring.

Ethernet

A local area network protocol using Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). Ethernet is available with four cabling alternatives: thin coaxial, standard (thick) coaxial, twisted pair, and fiber optic. This protocol uses 10 Mb/s baseband transmission and is defined by the IEEE standard 802.3.
