This part of IEC 6051 2 is used for the assessment of connectors within the scope of SC 48B that are used in twisted pair communication cabling with remote power, such as ISO/IEC 1 1 801 -1 Class D, or better, balanced cabling in support of IEEE 802.3bt TM (Power over Ethernet, supporting up to 90 W from the power sourcing equipment).
The object of this document is to detail a test schedule to determine the ability of sets of connectors to withstand a minimum of 1 00 mechanical operations with electrical load, where an electrical current is being passed through the connectors in accordance with IEC 6051 2-9-3 during the separation (unmating) step.
