A method of estimating the 1% minimum crosstalk loss (for voice frequencies) in a paired cable, without empirical data

A mathematical method for estimating the crosstalk loss corresponding to a probability of occurrence of P% at a specific voice frequency is described. The method requires only the information in a given cable specification regarding unbalanced cable parameters and the cable manufacturer's inspection procedure. The method is general and can be used (with minor modifications) to determine crosstalk loss at all frequencies and probabilities.
