This standard sets forth the specifications for bases (caps) used on electric
lamps.
This Standard shall be used to determine the particle size of chopped forage
materials where the reduction process yields particles such as that material
produced by shear-bar type forage harvesters. It is not intended for use on
material produced by flail-type harvesters where substantial fractions of the
material may be extremely long. This Standard is intended for use in the field
as well as in the laboratory. It is intended to separate chopped forage
samples without drying them first.
Revision
This standard sets forth the specifications for lampholders for electric lamps.

BSR/SCTE 45-201x, Test Method for Group Delay (revision of
ANSI/SCTE 45-2012)
Stakeholders: Cable Telecommunications industry.
Project Need: Update to current technology.
The purpose of this test is to measure the group delay and group delay
variation of a properly terminated device. This procedure is applicable
to testing of 75 components.
BSR/SCTE 51-201x, Method for Determining Drop Cable Braid
Coverage (revision of ANSI/SCTE 51-2012)
Stakeholders: Cable Telecommunications industry.
Project Need: Update to current technology.
The purpose of this document is to provide instruction on the
calculation of braid coverage for braided coaxial drop cables. Braid
coverage is expressed as a percentage of optical coverage of the
underlying core by the braid wires. It is a function of the diameter of the
cable core, the diameter of the wire braid, the number of carriers
(groups of wire ends), the number of individual wires in each carrier
and the picks per inch (distance between each carrier crossing).

The InterNational Committee for Information Technology
Standards (INCITS), an ANSI accredited SDO, is the forum
of choice for information technology developers, producers
and users for the creation and maintenance of formal de jure
IT standards. INCITS mission is to promote the effective
use of Information and Communication Technology through
standardization in a way that balances the interests of all
stakeholders and increases the global competitiveness of
the member organizations.
The INCITS Executive Board serves as the consensus body
with oversight of its 40+ Technical Committees. Additionally,
the INCITS Executive Board has the international leadership
role as the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO/IEC
JTC 1, Information Technology.
Membership in the INCITS Executive Board is open to all
directly and materially affected parties in accordance with
INCITS membership rules. To find out more about
participating on the INCITS Executive Board, contact
Jennifer Garner at jgarner@itic.org or visit
http://www.incits.org/participation/membership-info for more
information.

insulation where an average thickness is not specified. Thicknesses that are less than indicated in this
table may be accepted based on performance of the sheath under the requirements for metal-clad cables

44A Cable Heating Test - For Cables Marked -LP (XX)
44A.1 When tested as described in this section, the temperatures measured on the insulation and jacket
of the cables, after being corrected to an ambient of 45C, shall not exceed the temperature rating of the
cable. The corrected temperature is determined by adding 45C to the measured temperature rise at
room ambient.
44A.2 The cables shall be arranged in a tightly packed bundle consisting of 192 cables. The inner 37
cables shall be arranged in a hexagonal densest packing structure which represents the worst case
thermal dissipation situation. The remaining cables shall be evenly distributed in a random fashion to form
a 192 cable bundle. The bundle shall be placed in a 6 foot ( 2 inches) long (1.83 m 5 cm) commercially
available non-metallic conduit (Schedule 40) with the minimum diameter needed to install the bundle
without putting pressure on the cables. Each end of the conduit shall be filled with insulation. All of the
conductors in the cables shall be electrically connected in series to a power supply capable of providing
the rated current marked as part of the LP rating. It is permitted to electrically divide the conductors into
two or more circuits, each with its own power supply, to obtain the required current. The cables are
operated continuously until thermal stabilization. Thermal stabilization is considered to exist when three
successive readings, taken at 15 minute intervals, are within 1C of each other and indicate no further
rise above the changes in ambient temperature.
44A.3 The temperatures shall be measured on the outer jacket and conductor insulation of the center
cable at the midpoint of the cable. In addition, temperatures shall be measured on the jacket and
conductor insulation on the center cable two feet (0.6 m) on each side of center thermocouple for
reference purposes.
44A.4 Temperatures are to be measured by means of thermocouples that are not larger than 24 AWG
2
2
(0.21 mm ) and not smaller than 30 AWG (0.05 mm ). When thermocouples are used in determining
temperatures, it is common practice to employ thermocouples consisting of 30 AWG iron and constantan
wires with a suitable temperature indicating instrument. This equipment is to be used whenever a referee
measurement of temperature is necessary.
44A.5 The thermocouples and related instruments are to be accurate and calibrated in accordance with
standard laboratory practice. The thermocouple wire is to conform to the requirements specified in the
Tolerances on Initial Values of EMF versus Temperature tables in the Standard Specification and
Temperature-Electromotive Force (emf) Tables for Standardized Thermocouples, ANSI/ASTM
E230/E230M.
44A.6 A thermocouple junction and adjacent thermocouple lead wire are to be securely held in good
thermal contact with the surface of the material whose temperature is being measured. In most cases,
acceptable thermal contact results from securely taping or cementing the thermocouple in place.
47.1 The following information shall appear at the intervals indicated in 45.1 throughout the entire length
of the finished cable. The supplementary markings "-ER", "-OF", "-LS", "-LP" and "-CI" must immediately
follow the type letters. The sequence of these markings is not specified. The sequence of the other items
is not specified. For example, a cable that meets the requirements of both -ER and -LP can be marked
CL2-ER-LP(1.0) or CL2-LP (1.0)-ER. Other information, where added, shall not confuse or mislead and
shall not conflict with these requirements. See 50.1 and 50.2 for date marking.

readily identifiable. Where the organization responsible for the cable is different from the actual
manufacturer, both the responsible organization and the actual manufacturer shall be identified by name
or by appropriate coding such as trade name, trademark, or the assigned electrical reference number. It
is appropriate to identify the actual manufacturer by the assigned colored marker thread or combination of
colored marker threads; however, unless it or they supplement ink printing as stated in 47.3 and 47.4,
colored marker thread(s) shall not be used to identify the responsible organization. The meaning of any
coded identification shall be made available by the organization responsible for the cable. It is appropriate
also to identify a private labeler; the means is not specified. See 47.2 and 47.4.
e) The temperature rating of the cable (see 13.1 (a) and (b)) - is not required for cable rated for 60C
