5 Measurement results
  5.1 Individual test laboratory results with reference
      connectors
  5.2 Overview of all attenuation test results
  5.3 Summary of attenuation measurements results
  5.4 Overview of PDL results
6 Mechanical interface issues with SC/APC plug style
  attenuators
7 Conclusions

This document reports the measurement results of a round robin test program carried out on SC/APC plug style fixed attenuators. The work was initiated at CENELEC CLC/TC 86BXA in November 2004 in order to get a clear understanding on the accuracy and repeatability of the spectral attenuation loss measurements on fixed attenuators. Out of these results some recommendations are made for attenuation tolerance values that can be used in the performance standards.
