本标准中的技术标准旨在保护电话网络免受联邦通信委员会（FCC）第68部分《联邦法规》（47 CFR 68.3）第47篇第3节规定的危害。本标准规定了以下各项的物理尺寸、机械特性和接触材料要求:1。根据47 CFR 68.105（a），在分界点使用的载体安装千斤顶；2.根据47 CFR 68.213（b）与内部接线一起使用的插头和插孔； 3.用于将终端设备连接到有线载波网络的插头和插孔。本标准概述了确定是否符合硬金触点要求的试验方法。此外，它还概述了一种测试方法，用于确定替代接触材料与硬镀金性能的等效性。

The technical criteria in this standard are intended to protect the telephone network from the harms defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 68, Section 3 rules in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (47 CFR 68.3). This standard specifies physical dimensions, mechanical characteristics, and contact material requirements for:1. Carrier-installed jacks used at the demarcation point in accordance with 47 CFR 68.105(a);2. Plugs and jacks used with inside wiring in accordance with 47 CFR 68.213(b);3. Plugs and jacks used to connect terminal equipment to wireline carrier networks.This standard outlines test methods for determining compliance with the requirements for hard gold contacts. Additionally it outlines a test method for determining equivalency to hard gold plating performance for alternative contact materials.
