4.3 Specifications
The specifications of the assemblies are represented by the number of terminations, connector type codes, cable sheath material, cable diameter, and length of the assembly. See Table 2 for the classification and codes for connector types. The cable diameter is measured in millimeters (mm), and the assembly length is measured in meters (m), both rounded off to one decimal place. See Figure 2 for the composition of the specification.
