22、n systems. The test method details means to test one part of a connecting hardware (e. g. wall outlet or plug alone) as well as testing a mated pair of connecting hardware.

In this document connecting hardware is defined as a complete connecting device including compensating
25、or matching networks (if any), connectors and cable terminations. 4 Test method 4.1 Equipment 4.1.1 General See EN 50289-1-6, subclause 9.2.1.1 and Figure 1 below. The connecting hardware under test shall be terminated using the termination method and a cable type for which it is constructed. If onl

30、ll be provided. If the generator is unbalanced, this may be performed by the use of a balun or 180 power splitter. The minimum requirements for this device are specified in Table 1. The attenuation of the balun shall be kept as low as possible because it will limit the dynamic range of the coupling

Screened balanced test he
35、ads (if applicable) and extension cables shall be used for testing screened, balanced connecting hardware. Unbalanced (coaxial) test heads (if applicable) and extension cables shall be used for testing unbalanced connecting hardware. The electrical transmission performance including electromagnetic
36、screening and unbalance attenuation of the test head (if applicable) and the extension cable shall be better or equal to the performance of the connecting hardware under test. The choice of the extension cable should assure the minimum operational attenuation and reflection loss of the set-up possib
37、le. The extension cables shall have the same nominal characteristic impedance as the connecting hardware under test. The velocity of propagation for the two extension cables, terminating the connecting hardware, shall be similar (same type of insulation e. g. foamed or solid). The operational attenu
38、ation of the near end terminating cable including test head (if applicable) shall be less than 1 dB up to 100 MHz. The extension cables shall have a balance (when measuring balanced patch cords) and shall have a screen (when measuring screened patch cords) as good as possible. 4.1.3.2 Testing one pa
39、rt of connecting hardware Testing one part of connecting hardware requires a test head which mates the connecting hardware under test. - 7 - EN 50289-1-14:2004 The test head, the extension cable and the connection between test head and the extension cable shall have a balance or screening or balance
40、 and screening as good as can be obtained. To further enhance the measurement sensitivity the connection between the test head and the extension cable may be improved since it does not form part of the device under test. It is not allowed to improve the contact between the test head and the connecti
41、ng hardware under test. In addition it is not allowed to improve the connection between the connecting hardware under test and the extension cable, as this termination is part of the test. The measurement sensitivity shall be 6 dB better than the specified requirement limit for the connecting hardwa
42、re under test. See 4.4.2.1 for determination of the measurement sensitivity. In case of doubt regarding the interoperability between the test head and the connecting hardware under test, it is recommended to use the mating connecting hardware specified or advised by the supplier of the connecting ha
43、rdware under test. 4.1.3.3 Testing of a mated pair of connecting hardware Testing of a mated pair of connecting hardware is performed by terminating the connecting hardware with extension cables as defined in 4.1.1. No improvement of the terminations in excess of those specified by the manufacturer
44、are allowed as these terminations are parts of the test. For screened cables the far end termination could already be included into the test head. In that way the quality of the extension cable is not critical with respect to the test results. 4.1.4 Impedance matching When measuring connecting hardw
45、are with another characteristic impedance than the impedance of the test system, impedance matching is only required when the return loss is less than 10 dB. The error that is introduced by the mismatch is max. 0,5 dB and thus negligible compared to the typical accuracy of the absorbing clamp test m
46、ethod. 4.2 Test sample 4.2.1 Length of the extension cables The extension cable at the near end of the set-up (close to the reflector plate) shall be 4 m 0,1 m. The extension cable at the far end of the test set-up shall be 10 m 0,1 m. 4.2.2 Tested length The effective test length of the test specim
47、en is limited by the absorbing clamp and the ferrite tube, as shown in Figure 1. This length shall be 600 cm 10 cm. 4.2.3 Preparation of extension cable and test head The diameter of the extension cables must be selected to allow insertion in the bore of the absorbing clamp. When a special type of s
48、ocket interface is specified for termination of the connecting hardware such interface shall be used in the test head in question. EN 50289-1-14:2004 - 8 - 4.2.4.1 Balanced connecting hardware Differential and common mode termination is required for each pair at the far end of the extension cable, s

NOTE For 100 balanced cabling the common mode impedance will be equal to 25 when R 2 is short circuited. The common mode impedance of the termination may vary from 25 (R 2=0 ) to 100 (R 2=75 ).
