What Is Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) And Far End Crosstalk (FEXT)
When the crosstalk is detected on the same end of the cable that generated the signal, then near-end crosstalk has occurred. NEXT is most common within 20 to 30 meters (60 to 90 feet) of the transmitter. The below image clearly describe the near-end crosstalk. Crosstalk on poorly designed or poorly installed cables is a major problem with technologies such as 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.
