BS EN 60603-7-3:2009
This standard BS EN 60603-7-3:2009 Connectors for electronic equipment is classified in these ICS categories:
- 31.220.10 Plug-and-socket devices. Connectors
This part of IEC 60603 covers 8-way shielded free and fixed connectors and specifies mechanical and environmental requirements and electrical transmission requirements for frequencies up to 100 MHz. These connectors are typically used as category 5 connectors in class D cabling systems specified in ISO/IEC 11801:2002.
These connectors are intermateable, interoperable, and backward compatible with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors. While the definition of interoperable is being discussed within the IEC, “interoperable” in this standard means the following: the fixed and the free connector are capable of interconnecting with any IEC 60603-7 series connector, and when it is interconnected, it fully meets all requirements of the lower frequency IEC 60603-7 series standard.
NOTE Transmission performance categories: in this IEC standard, the term “category”, when used in reference to transmission performance, refers to those categories defined in ISO/IEC 11801:2002.
