scope:

NEN-EN-IEC 60512-29-100 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.
