This International Standard specifies the physical and magnetic characteristics of a 3,81mm wide magnetic tape cartridge to enable interchangeability of such cartridges. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signals, the recorded format and the recording method, thereby allowing data interchange between drives by means of such magnetic tape cartridges. The format used is known as DATA/DAT-DC.
This International Standard specifies two types of cartridges which, for the purpose of this International Standard, are referred to as TypeA and TypeB.
For TypeA, the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of 13μm and a nominal length of up to 60,5m.
For TypeB, the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of 9μm a length of up to 92,0m.
Information interchange between systems by means of this International Standard also requires the use, at a minimum, of a labelling and file structure and an interchange code which are agreed upon by the interchange parties. It is not within the scope of this International Standard to specify the labelling and file structure, or the interchange code.
