What is Category 7?• Channels are constructed from fully shielded category 7
components and are classified as class F or class FA
• Highest performing grade of twisted-pair cabling
• Supports maximum return on investment (ROI)
• Offers best-in-class EMC performance
• Two grades of class F cabling constructed from category 7 components are recognized:
– Class F: Specified to 600 MHz
– Class FA: Specified to 1000 MHz (1 GHz)
What is Class F?
• Ratified in ISO/IEC 11801, 2nd Edition in September, 2002
• Targeted for operation of high speed data applications beyond 10GBASE-T and low frequency (< 600 MHz) broadband video
• 600 MHz rated cables are specified by the Standards
• Siemon’s TERATM connector is rated to 1.2 GHz and complies with Siemon 600 MHz and 1000 MHz class F cabling solutions
What is Class FA?• Additional requirements specified in ISO/IEC 11801,
Amend. 1 (pending publication)
• Targeted for operation of high speed data applications beyond 10GBASE-T and all frequencies (up to 862 MHz) of broadband video
• 1000 MHz rated cables are specified by the Standards
• Siemon’s TERATM connector is rated to 1.2 GHz and complies with Siemon 1200 MHz class FA cabling solutions

• Supports both PoE and PoE Plus• Supports cable sharing• Increased security due to shielding• Superior EMI/RFI for use in noisy
environments (ie. radiology, govt.)
• Virtually immune to alien crosstalk and internal crosstalk• Guaranteed to support 10GBASE-T since 1999• Supports a 15-year lifecycle
Category 7 Cable• S/FTP fully shielded cable (Shielded with
foil twisted-pairs)
• 4-pair, 22 AWG
• 8.5 mm (.330 inch) nominal OD
• Shielding virtually eliminates crosstalk between pairs and between cables

Work Area and Closet Solutions
• International faceplate options• Dust cover identifies
individual pairs• Front/rear faceplate installation• Angled, flush, surface (WA), and
rack mount (closet) options• Shares panels and faceplates
with Siemon category 5e, 6, and 6A products
• Side stackable (compact/high density) – up to 6 ports at WA• Same footprint as an RJ-style interface
EMC – Passes Government TEMPEST Testing
• Electromagnetic compatibility EMC)– The ability to minimize radiated emissions– The ability to resist interference from
radiation• Screens and shields inherently protect against
radiation and emissions• TEMPEST refers to a US government classified
set of emissions limits and test procedures• It is a counter-intelligence measure to prevent
electronic espionage• Class F/FA systems featuring the TERATM
connector are the only cabling solutions that are TEMPEST approved
Grounding Recommendations– Siemon’s Class F and FA cabling solutions feature a quick and
easy grounding method
– A dc ground shall be provided at one end of the cabling only
– The TERATM solution automatically grounds the cable shield to the terminating patch panel when the connector is inserted into the patch panel
– The panel is grounded via a 6 AWG ground wire to the TGB
TERATM Home Cabling• Chosen as the primary interface within ISO/IEC 15018, “Information
Technology — Integrated Cabling Systems for Homes”
• TERA is the only connector for use in all three ISO/IEC recognized home cabling applications:
information and communications technology (ICT),
broadcast communications technologies (BCT) and
commands, controls and communication in buildings (CCCB)
• TERA is the only balanced copper connector specified by the ISO/IEC home cabling standard to support BCT
TERA Video Applications• 1-pair application
• NEXT loss not critical
• Insertion loss and return loss most important
• TERA to CCTV baluns
• TERA to CATV baluns
• Consolidation points and amplifiers can increase distance
• CATV Service: Channels 2 to 78 over frequencies 5 MHz to 446 MHz
• CATV UHF: 470 MHz to 862 MHz
Siemon Video Balun Solutions• CATV solutions
– TERA Video Balun Cord– CATV balun– CATV splitter / balun panel
• CCTV solutions– CCTV balun
• Audio / Video solutions– Component video balun– Composite video balun
• TERA T1U4V (1 pair UTP to RJ45) patch cord
Termination Practices
• Quick termination with familiar tools — TERA™ CPT cable prep tool
• Accurately strips jacket and foil from 4-pair S/FTP cable without damaging the conductors
• TERATM features a pair template to aid cable preparation
• Termination video available at www.siemon.com
Installation Practices• Shielded cables require a larger bend radius (e.g. 4-pair needs
50 mm or 2 inches)
• Grounding/bonding required at ER/TR
• Pathways and termination housings need to accommodate bend radius requirements 50mm
75mm(While maintaining the recommended50mm bending radius for 4pr shielded
cable. Note: Cable bend can commencewithin the boot due to flexible housing)
Mounting OptionsNew mounting options to reduce mounting depth to 50 mm/2 in or less to accommodate shallow pathways
• Angled CT Adapter– Snaps into any CT opening– Provides angled TERA work area solution– Also angles back end to reduce mounting depth
• TERA Outlet with Flex Boot– New outlet version with angled boot – New termination practice to remove jacket section– Enables 90 degree bend of TERA cable
Options for Surface MountingNew surface mount outlets support the TERA™ connector and a
50 mm/2 inch bend radius
50 mm bend radius per
ISO ‘11801 requirements for cables > 6.0 mm
Field Testing
• Field testing methods similar to category 6
• Fluke’s DTXCableAnalyzer is approved for validation of TERATM
cabling
High Density Work Areas• Up to 15 outlets per WA are
required for some end-user applications!
– Call centers
– Fax centers
– Class rooms
– Training centers
– Monitoring facilities
– Patient recovery rooms
Analog Voice 1-pair VoIP 2-pairs Video over IP 2-pairs CATV 1-pair
w/balun CCTV 1-pair
w/balun 10/100BASE-T 2-pairs
Is Cable Sharing Allowed? Yes!• TIA
– Not specifically excluded– Annex B provides guidance on shared sheath multipair UTP
cables• ISO/IEC 11801 (Commercial)
– Clause 9.3 provides crosstalk consideration for cable sharing– Guidance provided for minimizing sheath sharing incompatibilities
• ISO/IEC 15018 (Home)– Cable sharing may be considered when pathway space is limited
• Using fully-shielded cables alleviates all concerns
Typical Scenarios:• One TERA™ replaces three Cat 5e/6
outlets assuming– 10/100BASE-T data (2-pair)– voice (1-pair)– Fax or video (1-pair)
• One TERA replaces four analog voice outlets– Perfect for call or fax centers– Uses MuTOA or SM Box for workgroup
• Can result in reduced conduit fill• Reduces the number of outlets at the WA• Can reduce faceplates at the WA

Category 7 Supports Convergence• Application sharing is a cost effective
means to replace coax and 18AWG with balanced cabling
• Ethernet supports:
– BAS, Video, Audio and Data!
• Cable sharing is an ideal solution for low-speed, high-density solutions:– Reduced cost– Reduced conduit fill– Improved cable management
Recommendations• Plan to accommodate
1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T data applications that utilize all 4-pairs
• Provide at least one dedicated 4-pair augmented category 6A or category 7 port per work station
Sample TCO
• Based on twenty-four 2-connector channels• 50 meter average link length and 3 meter patch cords at each
end• $25/hour installation labor• Based on LSOH cable pricing • Not including overtime
Initial Installed Costs
• The predicted 10-year installation life cycle of category 6 cabling is half over• 10GBASE-T ready Category 6A cabling will provide 10 years of useful life• Class F and Class FA TERA cabling is capable of supporting speeds
beyond 10 Gbps

TCO Conclusions
• 10Gbps over copper is a reality• Category 5e is not a good investment for new installations• Augmented category 6 (Siemon 10G 6A UTP and F/UTP)
provides much better TCO/ROI compared to category 6 UTP
• TERA is the highest performing copper cabling system with excellent TCO/ROI
• Cable sharing offers even better TCO/ROI• Siemon offers the most comprehensive suite of 10 Gbps-
