ECMA-197

Data interchange on 12,7 mm 112-track magnetic tape cartridges - DLT2 format

1st edition, December 1993

This Ecma Standard specifies the physical and magnetic characteristics of a 12,7 mm wide, 112-track magnetic tape cartridge, to enable interchangeability of such cartridges. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signals, a format – called Digital Linear Tape 2 (DLT 2) – and a recording method.

Together with a labelling standard, e.g. Standard ECMA-13 for Magnetic Tape Labelling, it allows full data interchange by means of such magnetic tape cartridges.
