Luping, It may be useful to define a compliance interconnect as one that is used for stress testing and a compliant interconnect as one that would be used in a product. A compliant interconnect should fall above the limit line. Compliance interconnects should fall below the limit line. So, channels with greater loss (than the limit line ) are considered valid for stress testing.
