SCTE 73 2007

This test procedure is designed to measure the amount of linear force required toinstall a drop ("F") connector onto a drop cable of the proper size.Because this performance parameter involves, and is influenced by, two separate anddistinct components (connector and cables) it is desirable to create a unifiedprocedure to evaluate each for its individual contribution to the total interface. Thisprocedure will, therefore, necessarily diverge into two alternate paths at theappropriate junctures. One path will assume the establishment and use of a "standardtest connector" to be used in the measurement of installation force(s) required forconnectorization of various cables. The other path will assume the establishment anduse of a "standard test cable" to be used to measure the installation force(s) requiredfor proper seating of various connectors. For either situation, the resultingmeasurements should only be used for comparison between the cables versus the"standard test connector" or the connectors versus the "standard test cable."
