Informative limits for Class I direct attach cabling to support 5 m short reach mode application according to ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3:2017/AMD3, i.e. 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T, are provided in Annex A.

Test methods will be provided in the second edition of ISO/IEC 14763-4.

NOTE ISO/IEC 14763-4 is the test method for End to End (E2E) link. It can be also used for direct attach cabling. Test methods for Classes EA, F, FA, I, II will be provided in the second edition of ISO/IEC 14763-4.
