This Part 1-14 of EN 502893 details the method of test to determine the coupling attenuation or screening attenuation for connecting hardwarepatch cords, coaxial cable assemblies and pre-connectorised cables used in analogue and digital communication systems. The test method details means to test one part of a connecting hardware (e. g. wall outlet or plug alone) as well as testing a mated pair of connecting hardware. It is to be read in conjunction with EN 50289-1-6.
