The TERA 8.2 cabling solution, Siemon's Category 8.2 patch cords exceed ISO/IEC Category 8.2/Class II specifications when utilized in a 2-connector, 30 meter Class II channel. TERA Class II channels and permanent links deliver transmission performance up to 2GHz to support high-speed 25 Gigabit and 40 Gigabit Ethernet in data center applications. In conjunction with Category 8.2 cable and TERA-MAX® patch panels populated with TERA outlets, the Category 8.2 TERA-to-RJ45 patch cords are ideal for 2-connector switch-to-server connections in middle of row (MoR) and end of row (EoR) data center configurations. The Category 8 compatible RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cords are ideal in direct attach switch-to-server connections used in top of rack (ToR) configurations. Constructed of Category 8.2 S/FTP 2000 MHz cable, TERA Category 8.2 patch cords are backwards compatible with Category 7A/Class FA and lower cabling systems.
