Data record `std.tia-526-7-a.structure.annex-g-uncertainty`

Verified 2026-10-25 Confidence: High

Informative Annex G of ANSI/TIA-526-7-A (2015) explains that reference grade test cords usually measure lower loss than standard grade cords, so an acceptance value derived for standard grade connections may have to be corrected, and works an example uncertainty budget for the three-cord method.
