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 remote powering applications for point-to-point connections, (for example, as defined in IEEE 802.3). This document does not cover multidrop powering applications.
The object of this document is to detail a test schedule to determine the ability 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.
Separating connectors while used for remote powering is a misuse of the connector, but it may occur in practice.
