Data record std.tia-568-3-e.definition.passive-link-and-channel

Verified 2026-10-25 Confidence: Medium

ANSI/TIA-568.3-E (2022) distinguishes the passive link and the channel from the link: both may include optical branching components, and the attenuation allowance for a channel carries no test cord term because its equipment-end connections are left out of the measurement by the three-cord reference.
