NOTE
In general, patch cords are components of a Channel cabling configuration.
Channels are length limited by standards in order to achieve specific requirements, for this
reason all component lengths have to be considered for obtaining the expected cabling
performance.
In case of a Class D Channel 2-connector model:

Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form, fit or function are made to the product or manufacturing process,
requalification testing shall be initiated, consisting of all or part of the original testing sequence as determined
by Tyco Electronics.
5.
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Quality provisions are based upon the philosophy of TQM (Total Quality Management) with a system
approved to EN ISO 9001 by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance.
5.1
Responsibility for quality
Unless otherwise stated in the purchase order, it shall be the supplier's responsibility to assure
qualification and lot conformance to this specification. The supplier may utilize his own or other testing and
inspection facilities acceptable to the buyer.
5.2
Qualification conformance
For the purposes of internal qualification, the program shall consist of examinations and tests to determine
conformance with the requirements of this specification. It shall be performed once, on introduction of the
product. Subsequent design changes shall be partially or fully re-qualified depending upon their area of impact
in the context of product functionality. Regular requalification testing shall be performed as defined by the
Quality Department.
5.3
Manufacturing follow-up
Tyco Electronics products target Six Sigma levels of performance by the integration of capable processes
from the development throughout the entire supply chain. The goal is to reduce variability to achieve zero
defects for products and services. Systems used are based on preventive and statistical techniques during
development and manufacturing. This also includes suppliers of materials, components or systems.
Dedicated procedures for supplier selection, development and follow-up are implemented to ensure
conformance to TQM and specification requirements.
Best demonstrated practices are identified and implemented throughout the company, with a continuing
challenge to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement.
