Length/Delay
To display the LENGTH/DELAY screen, press the Measure Cable Performance key, then select Length/Delay.
The pairs are shown on the left and the length for each pair is shown in the second column. The third column shows the propagation delay values in nanoseconds (nS) and the fourth column indicates the condition of the wire pair (open or short). The Skew value is the

Noise
Noise is undesirable electrical activity that interferes with a network’s ability to transmit data reliably. Noise sources in networks may include AC transmission lines, fluorescent light fixtures, industrial equipment, elevators, etc. Noise problems also occur when other wire pairs in the same sheath are used for
