Autotest on Coaxial Cable

PSNEXT (Power Sum NEXT; Model DSP-2000)

The PSNEXT results show how much each cable pair is affected by the combined NEXT from the other pairs. PSNEXT is expressed as the difference in amplitude (in dB) between the crosstalk received on a cable pair and a test signal transmitted on the other pairs.

PSNEXT is calculated from NEXT values. The descriptions of the results are the same as for NEXT results, except that they show the sum effect of NEXT on a cable pair.
