3.0 Mechanical Tests (Group 1)
3.1 Impact
Procedure:
The connector is placed in the impact test fixture. The connector is raised to the horizontal position and released
in a manner so that it strikes a concrete block. This is repeated 8 times, then cleaned and measured for loss and
return loss. The connector is also inspected for any physical damage.

3.2 Flex
Procedure:
Testing was performed on samples subjected to the Impact Test. The connector - coupling is mounted onto the
swingarm of the 3M Flex Tester. A 0.5kg load is attached to the cable 25 cm from the pivot point. The connector
is then cycled through 0°, +90°, 0°, -90°, 0°, about the center axis of the connector for 100 cycles. At the
completion of the test, the connector is measured for Insertion Loss and Return Loss.

3.3 Twist
Procedure:
Testing was performed on samples subjected to the Flex Test. The connector - coupling is mounted onto the
swingarm of the 3M Flex Tester and the swingarm is locked in the 0° position. A 15 N (3.3 lbs.) load is attached
to the cable 25 cm from the pivot point. The weight is rotated about the cable axis 2.5 revolutions in one
direction, reversed for 5 revolutions, and reversed for 5 more revolutions for a total of 10 cycles. At the
completion of the test, the connector is measured for Insertion Loss and Return Loss.
