a) in item [5], drawing expanded by right angled connectors;

b) in item [12], female F-connectors cancelled (not standardized by IEC 61169-47);

c) in item [14] Reflection properties (return loss): different values for straight and right-angled connectors;

d) in item [14] Insertion loss: different factors for insertion loss calculation for straight and right-angled connectors;

e) in item [14] Loop resistance: loop resistance was set to 1 Ω max. value for the complete length.
