What are the four MICE elements and three performance levels for connectors?
IEC 11801-3:2017 provides guidance for designing physical infrastructure to support network communications in a manufacturing environment. That guidance is in the form of four MICE elements and three performance levels. The four elements of the MICE acronym include Mechanical, Ingress, Chemical/climatic, and Electromagnetic compatibility. The MICE standards define three performance levels and apply to cabling […]
