Impedance stabilization networks (ISN) are coupling/decoupling networks according to CISPR 22 (EN
55022) for measurement of conducted common mode disturbances of information technology equipment
(ITE). The ISN is placed between the equipment under test (EUT) and the auxiliary equipment (AE) or load
which is necessar y for the operation of the EUT. The ISN establishes the common mode termination
impedance seen by the telecommunication port during measurement.
The ISN T8-Cat6 is designed for measurements on up to four unshielded single balanced pairs shown
at D.3 (ISN with high longitudinal conversion loss (LCL) for use with one, two, three, or four unscreened
balanced pairs) in CISPR 22, Ed.5.2, 2006 and EN 55022 Sept. 20 06 (IEC/CISPR 22: 2005 modifi ed). The
longitudinal conversion loss (LCL)- requirements for the EUT-side is realized in relation to the cable
category cat.6. No additional adapters are required. For other cable categories Teseq offers a different
ISN with LCL adapters for cat.3 and cat.5 which is called ISN T8.
