Installation Guide for the Model FE508 and Model FE516 Fast Ethernet Hubs The NEXT loss between two particular pairs within a cable is a function of the twist per unit length for each pair. The higher the twist rate, the higher the NEXT loss value and the lower the NEXT noise. One method of improving NEXT loss and achieving more reliable system performance is to select the cable pairs within the cable that have the highest twist rate (highest NEXT loss). Selecting a cabling system that uses components (such as connectors and cross-connect panels) that complements the cable ensures NEXT noise is minimized. If the choice of cable is available to the network designer (for example, new cable can be installed rather than using already installed cable), NETGEAR recommends using Category 5 cables to provide maximum configuration flexibility.
