Missing voltage rating
I am looking at this [RF connector](https://docs.rs-online.com/9d0a/A700000008260403.pdf).

I see that insulation resistance and breakdown voltage are specified, but no voltage rating:

I have two questions, one functional and one safety. Functionally, what is the maximum DC voltage I can bias this connector at (There is no voltage rating)? Safety wise, assuming this connector was UL recognized (It is not, but let's say it was), is it allowed to exceed the maximum rated voltage if there was one? The UL norm in question is "UL-1971 Connectors for Use in Data, Signal, Control and Power Applications".
