Hybrid and Bundled Cables

Hybrid/bundled cables that contain multiple units of recognized horizontal copper cables are subject to additional NEXT loss requirements between cable units. These requirements assure a minimum additional power sum crosstalk isolation (3 dB for TIA, 6 dB for ISO/IEC) between applications that may operate on adjacent binder groups.
All detailed specifications for the individual cable units used in the hybrid assembly still apply.
Hybrid bundled cables shall meet the transmission requirements specified in TIA/EIA-B.2.
