This part of ISO/IEC11801, which is a Technical Report, provides definitions for, and examples of, cabling implementations described as end-to-end (E2E) links.
In addition, this document provides performance specifications to support Class D and Class E balanced cabling channels of ISO/IEC11801‑1. These specifications amend those channel specifications of ISO/IEC11801‑1 by including the impact of the free connectors in accordance with the interfaces specified in ISO/IEC11801‑3 used to terminate the E2E link.
Test methods are provided in ISO/IEC14763‑4.
End-to-end link configurations can include any type of connection.
