Appendix A - Schedule for type tests
Appendix B - Method for measuring the reflection
             coefficient of a pair of connectors
Appendix C - Measuring method for r.f. shunt resistance

Provides connectors for r.f. transmission lines for use with electronic equipment to establish uniform requirements for the electrical, climatic and mechanical properties as well as safety aspects, test methods, interchangeability and compatibility both between connectors and between connectors and cables, and classification of connectors into groups according to their ability to withstand extremes of temperature and humidity.
