How Do You Validate an RJ45 Connector Before Production?

What's your go-to test list when validating a new RJ45 connector design? I've been compiling the essentials:

  • Insertion loss / return loss
  • HiPot (especially for PoE)
  • Contact resistance before/after stress
  • Mating cycle durability
  • Thermal shock and vibration

Any tests you've found critical that aren't on this list?
