Built upon the high-performance Siemon TERA Category 7A/Class FA connector, our TERA Category 8.2 copper cabling system combines TERA connectors with Category 8.2 S/FTP 2000 MHz cable and patch cords to deliver a complete end-to-end system that surpasses ISO/IEC category 8.2/Class II specifications for 2-connector, 30-meter Class II channels for high-bandwidth 25 and 40 Gigabit applications.

Engineered for mechanical reliability in elevated temperature environments up to 75°C, TERA Category 8.2 supports auto-negotiation and is backwards compatible for copper-based Ethernet applications from 1 to 40 Gigabit in a variety of configurations.

The systems delivers superior internal and alien crosstalk and insertion loss performance compared to traditional Category 8/8.1 RJ45 systems.

Siemon’s Tera 8.2 system includes TERA-to-RJ45 patch cords for use in 2-connector switch-to-server connections in end of row (EoR) and middle of row (MoR) data center architectures. The system also includes Category 8 compatible RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cords for direct attach server connections in a top of rack (ToR) deployment and TERA 8.2 factory terminated and tested trunking assemblies for a faster, cost-effective alternative to individual field-terminated channels.
