Compared to a wiremap tester, a TSB-67 Compliance Tester measures more parameters.

• A. Fewer Parameters Than
• B. More Parameters Than
• C. The Same Parameters As
• D. Not Comparable

Answer: (B)

Wiremap testing focuses on the physical wiring: it verifies that each conductor connects to the correct pin and flags opens, shorts, or miswirings. A TSB-67 Compliance Tester goes beyond that by performing the full channel test suite specified by the standard, measuring how the cable behaves with real signals. It captures many more parameters such as impedance consistency, insertion loss, return loss, crosstalk (NEXT/FEXT), propagation delay, and length/skew, all of which describe the cable’s electrical performance. Because it assesses the entire channel against the standard, it measures a broader set of parameters than a simple wiremap tester.
