Greetings, I talked with a colleague about the new FCC 15.32 on test of CPU boards this afternoon. We reached the following conclusion.
Test Condition Margin CPU board Pass/Fail 1. cover removed less than limit pass 2. cover removed over limit not more than 3db 1) cvr inplace less than limit pass 2) cvr inplace more than limit fail 3. cover removed over limit more fail than 3db limit here means FCC Class B limit. Is this your understanding of this new rule as well? If so, I feel FCC does not deregulate in terms of selling cpu boards alone. Have not seen a cpu board only fail class b limit in air marginally. The new rule will probably make it impossible to sell current cpu boards without installing it in a chasis. Comments please, TIA.
