Standardized single-pair connector interfaces set the pace for intelligent buildings

The standards committee ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25 Interconnection of Information Technology Equipment, selected two single-pair connector designs as standard interfaces for MICE1 and . MICE2/MICE3environments. MICE is an acronym for mechanical, ingress, climatic, and electromagnetic — one from CommScope the other from Harting. The higher the number, the more severe the environment. In practical application, an example of a MICE1 (M1I1C1E1) environment is a commercial office space.
