LAN Pair Twisting Benchmark v1: Triple vs Double

Executive Summary

This benchmark compares double-twist and triple-twist LAN pair machines under matched lay/back-twist conditions. Triple twist delivers +20% throughput and +3 dB NEXT margin while reducing scrap by 30%. Dataset (CSV) and methods (PDF) are provided for replication.

Methods

• Equipment: HK-DT-800 (double), HK-TT-500 (triple); calibrated NEXT analyzer.
• Cable: Cat6 UTP pairs, 24 AWG; lay 12 mm; back-twist 100%.
• Repeats: 20 per machine type.
• Metrics: Throughput (pairs/min), NEXT margin (dB), lay stability, scrap rate.

Results

Machine Type	Throughput (pairs/min)	NEXT Margin (dB)	Scrap (%)
Double Twist	150 ± 2	39.2 ± 0.5	1.8
Triple Twist	180 ± 3	42.5 ± 0.6	1.2
