Overview
This part of IEC 60512 is used for the assessment of connectors within the scope of SC 48B that are used in balanced single-pair communication cabling with remote power, in support of, for example, EEE 802.3 remote powering applications for point-to-point connections. The object of this document is to detail a test schedule to determine the ability of sets of single-pair connectors as defined in the IEC 63171 series to withstand a minimum of 100 mechanical operations with electrical load, where an electrical current is being passed through the connector in accordance with IEC 60512-9-3 during the separation (unmating) step. This document contains the fundamentals of measurement, a description of the measurement setup, calibration, and the execution and documentation of the measurement. This document does not cover multidrop powering applications of single-pair connectors. This document increases investment security for manufacturers and users through its application and provides testing laboratories and manufacturers with defined specifications for testing.
