- Part 1-6 Electromagnetic performance
- Part 1-7 Velocity of propagation
- Part 1-8 Attenuation
- Part 1-9 Unbalance attenuation (longitudinal conversation loss, longitudinal conversion transfer loss)
- Part 1-10 Crosstalk
- Part 1-11 Characteristic impedance, input impedance, return loss
- Part 1-12 Inductance
- Part 1-13 Coupling attenuation or screening attenuation of patch cords / coaxial cable assemblies / pre-connectorised cables
- Part 1-14 Coupling attenuation or screening attenuation of connecting hardware
- Part 1-15 Coupling attenuation of links and channels (Laboratory conditions)
- Part 1-16 Coupling attenuation of cable assemblies (Field conditions)
- Part 1-17 Exogenous Crosstalk ExNEXT and ExFEXT
Further test details (e.g. temperature, duration) and/or test requirements are given in the relevant cable standard.
