Data record `std.tia-526-14-d.method.cord-grade-tradeoff`

Verified 2026-10-25 Confidence: Medium

Clause 5.4 of ANSI/TIA-526-14-D (2023) explains that reference grade test cords introduce a measurement bias that must be accounted for but reduce uncertainty, while standard grade cords add no bias but can leave an uncertainty larger than the loss being measured; Table 4 tabulates expanded uncertainty by method, cord grade and measured loss.
