1Gbps uses all 4 pairs (8 wires) that requires 8 wire balanced ISN. Unlike EN55022:1998, new EN55022:2006 ALLOWS to use 8 wires ISN for ALL applications including 1 pair, 2 pairs, 3 pairs and 4 pairs (See Figure D.3, EN55022:2006) However, 10Mbps/100Mbps uses only 2 pair (4 wires) although the number of wires are 8. Since unused wires are not considered as "balanced pair", it would be still acceptable to use 2 pair (4 wires) balanced ISN for 10/100Mbps mode per 9.6.3.1 Thanks, Ben

All of the CDN / ISN adapters I have used including R&S, Fischer & Schaffner 4-Wire ISN/CDNs all have coupling networks for 4 interfaces and are labelled for E1, Ethernet, ISDN, etc., so you are saying the intent of CISPR 22 was to have all those interfaces tested with an Eight Wire ISN? This is news to me, how many others on this list? Thanks.

All Ethernet tests should be done with an 8 wire ISN as Cat 3, Cat 5 and Cat 6 cables all have 8 wires.

I couldn't get a ping through it, so the probes were used instead. Maybe a newer 8 wire ISN will do the job.
