406 Standard Connections

406.1 General.

Where data connections used for input and output are provided, at least one of each type of connection shall conform to industry standard non-proprietary formats.

Advisory 406.1 General. The intent of this provision is to ensure compatibility with assistive technology by requiring the use of standard connections on ICT. Examples of data connections include expansion slots, ports, and connectors for cables. Industry standard non-proprietary formats include wireless connections to ICT, such as infrared (IR) and Bluetooth. Power cord connections are not data connections used for input and output.
