Siemon's TERA Category 8.2 system includes cables, patch cords, connectors, and pre-terminated cable assemblies. The system is based on Siemon's TERA connector, which was originally selected as the ISO/IEC 11801 interface for Category 7A/Class FA and now also supports Category 8.2 compliance. Combining the TERA connector with Category 8.2 S/FTP 2000 MHz cable and patch cords provides a complete end-to-end system that exceeds the ISO/IEC Category 8.2/Class II specifications for 30-meter, two-connector Class II channels in data centers.
The end-to-end Category 8.2 TERA system can be certified using the new TERA adapters recently released by Fluke Networks for its Versiv DSX-8000 CableAnalyzer, demonstrating high levels of accuracy compared to laboratory measurements.
Siemon's TERA-to-RJ45 patch cables are ideal for 2-pin switch-to-server connections in mid-row (MoR) and end-of-row (EoR) configurations, while Category 8-compliant RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cables enable direct switch-to-server connections in top-of-rack (ToR) configurations. The TERA power outlet and plug are compatible with Category 7A/Class FA cabling systems, providing future-proof flexibility and performance, making TERA ideal for data centers, healthcare display equipment, and financial services.
