There is a test used when installing this cable commercially called "PowerSum NEXT". If you look that up you should be able to get an idea of the coupling between pairs. If I remember correctly it's around -45dB or so between near-end pairs, but it's been a looong time since I dealt with that (our company only does fiber now, which has essentially zero coupling between adjacent optical strands so crosstalk isn't an issue).
If you can find outdoor-rated Cat6 cable it will have better isolation between pairs due to the internal separator within the cable. -Bill > Is it worth trying to use outdoor CAT5 to feed reversible Beverage? > There are 4 twisted pairs inside, paralleling 2 for both directions will > give something close to 50 or 75 ohms. > > Any idea what is coupling between pairs?
