OIDA Sponsored Webinar: Insertion Loss and Return Loss Testing of Complex Cable Assemblies
23 September 2020 11:00 - 12:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)In this webinar, we explore simple test setups to accurately measure IL and RL for various non-standard and emerging cable assemblies including: hybrid patch cords, unibody duplex (SN and MDC), ruggedized connectors, shuffles, loopbacks, and expanded beam connectors. We will also look at the new 3M expanded beam EBO connector in detail and show features that make it optimal for connectivity and installation.
