Be aware that there is an on-going standards process to define field testing of CAT 5 cables. These standards or guidelines (currently called PN-3287) will not be complete until the June 1995 timeframe. The TIA TSB number will be TSB-67 when PN-3287 is approved. The standard is expected to define two accuracy levels of test equipment, and provide minimum performance standards for each. Current test equipment is likely to fall in the lower level. The higher class (_Accuracy Level II_) is intended for subsequent generations of test equipment capable of performing the increasingly numerous and stringent tests now being developed.
