    Attenuation:
    Std. is a TIA 568C.2 Maximum (also called “Insertion Loss”)         Lower is better.
    NEXT:
    Std. is a TIA 568C.2 Minimum. (Near End Crosstalk)         Higher is better.
    ACR:
    NEXT minus Attenuation ; (“Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio”)         Higher is better.
    SNEXT:
    Std. is a TIA 568C.2 Minimum. (Power Sum Near End Crosstalk)         Higher is better.
    PSACR:
    PSNEXT minus Attenuation ; (“Attenuation to PSNEXT Ratio”)         Higher is better.
    ACRF:
    Std. is a TIA 568C.2 Minimum. (Attenuation Crosstalk Ratio at Far End)         Higher is better.
    PSACRF:
    Std. is a TIA 568C.2 Minimum. (Power Sum Atten.’ to Crosstalk Ratio)         Higher is better.
    RL:
    Std. is a TIA 568C.2 Minimum. (Return Loss)         Higher is better.
