The baseline 4-pair version is exposed to the entire qualification program (test groups 1-7). Product extensions having the same design, but different number or rows or columns, are to be exposed to test group P only for design verification. 2. One LLCR test sample consists of a daughtercard or backplane with three (3) mounted connector modules and associated guide hardware for the baseline 4-pair 6-column product qualification. On the daughtercard, three connector assemblies and two end guide-modules are joined together onto a metal organizer and termed a "receptacle monoblock assembly". On the backplane side, the three vertical header modules are applied as separate adjacent modules, with a two standalone metal guide-pins mounted to the board, one at each end of the three connectors. 3. Sampling methods for subsequent design verification of new product variations will be chosen based on the product version being tested number of modules on a test card may be fewer or more than the baseline configuration).
