TERA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from IEC 61076-3-104)

TERA connector allows splitting the link through different patch cords with one, two, and four pairs.

TERA is a shielded twisted pair connector for use with Category 7 twisted-pair data cables, developed by The Siemon Company and standardised in 2003 by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) with the reference IEC 61076–3–104. The 2006 revision of the standard extended the characterised performance up to 1000 MHz.[1] The connector has a different footprint from the more common 8P8C connector.

TERA connector

TERA is also a useful interface for broadcast communications technology (BCT). This connector allows for cable sharing, permitting users to integrate video, voice and data services over a single cabling link.[2]
