Data record `std.tia-568-2-e.rule.category-8-not-a-superset`

Verified 2026-10-25 Confidence: Medium

Over part of the frequency band, the NEXT and PSNEXT limits that ANSI/TIA-568.2-E sets for a Category 8 permanent link are less stringent than the augmented Category 6 permanent link limits. A result graded against the Category 8 limit therefore does not by itself show that the augmented Category 6 limit is met.
