c) deleted reference to IEC 60794-2-51;
d) added the definition of terminated breakout cable assembly;
e) changed the number of bend cycles from 10 to 3 to harmonise with IEC 60794-2-50;
f) changed test parameters for temperature cycling to harmonise with IEC 60794-2-50;
g) added maximum attenuation requirements after temperature cycling;
h) replaced the text for the fire performance with an improved description.
