The purpose of this document is to define a standard test procedure to prepare, test and document the retention forces of a given connector/cable assembly, as whole or separate components. 1.2 This test is intended to determine the tensile forces required to cause one or more of the following conditions in a connector/cable assembly under test: Catastrophic cable structural failure, connector structural failure andseparation due to slip at the connector/cable interface.
