Connectors for electronic equipment - Tests and measurements -- Part 29-100: Signal integrity tests up to 500 MHz on M12 style connectors - Tests 29a to 29g

This part of IEC 60512 specifies the test methods for transmission performance for M12-style
connectors up to 500 MHz. It is also suitable for testing lower frequency connectors if they
meet the requirements of the detail specifications and of this standard.
NOTE 1 All figures show equipment for connectors according to IEC 61076-2-109 as an example.
The test methods provided herein are:
– insertion loss, test 29a;
– return loss, test 29b;
– near-end crosstalk (NEXT) test 29c;
– far-end crosstalk (FEXT), test 29d;
– transverse conversion loss (TCL), test 29f;
– transverse conversion transfer loss (TCTL), test 29g.
For the transfer impedance (ZT) test, see IEC 60512-26-100, test 26e.
For the coupling attenuation see ISO/IEC 11801.
All test methods apply for two and four pair connectors.
NOTE 2 All figures show schemes for four pair cabling and are also suitable for two pair cabling.

Connecteurs pour équipements électroniques - Essais et mesures - Partie 29-100: Essais d'intégrité des signaux jusqu'à 500 MHz sur les connecteurs de type M12 – Essais 29a à 29g

L'IEC 60512-29-100:2015 spécifie les méthodes d'essais pour les performances des transmissions pour les connecteurs de type M12 jusqu'à 500 MHz. Elle est également applicable aux essais réalisés sur des connecteurs à fréquences plus basses s'ils satisfont aux exigences des spécifications particulières et de la présente norme.
Les méthodes d'essai spécifiées ici sont:
- perte d'insertion, essai 29a;
- affaiblissement de réflexion, essai 29b;
- paradiaphonie (NEXT), essai 29c;
- télédiaphonie (FEXT), essai 29d;
- perte de conversion transverse (TCL), essai 29f;
- perte de transfert de conversion transverse (TCTL), essai 29g.  Pour l'essai d'impédance de transfert (ZT), voir l'IEC 60512-26-100, essai 26e. Pour l'affaiblissement de couplage, voir l'ISO/IEC 11801.
Toutes les figures représentent des principes pour des câblages de quatre paires

Konektorji za elektronsko opremo - Preskusi in meritve - 29-100. del: Preskusi signalne celovitosti do 500 MHz na konektorjih M12 - Preskusi od 29a do 29g

Ta del standarda IEC 60512 določa preskusne metode za lastnosti prenosa na konektorjih M12 do 500 MHz. Prav tako je primeren za preskušanje konektorjev z nižjimi frekvencami, če ustrezajo zahtevam podrobnih specifikacij in tega standarda.
OPOMBA 1 Številke prikazujejo opremo za konektorje skladno s standardom IEC 61076-2-109 kot primer.
V nadaljevanju so podane naslednje preskusne metode:
– dodano dušenje, preskus 29a;
– povratno dušenje, preskus 29b;
– bližnji presluh (NEXT), preskus 29c;
– daljni presluh (FEXT), preskus 29d;
– prečno dušenje pretvorbe (TCL), preskus 29f;
– prečno dušenje pretvorbe prenosa (TCTL), preskus 29g.
Za preskus impedance prenosa (ZT) glejte IEC 60512-26-100, preskus 26e.
Za slabljenje stikov glejte ISO/IEC 11801.
Vse preskusne metode se uporabljajo za dvo- in štirižilne konektorje.
OPOMBA 2 Številke prikazujejo sheme za štirižilne kable in so ustrezne tudi za dvožilne kable.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shal
