Connectors for electronic equipment -- Detail specification for 8-way, shielded, free and fixed connectors, for data transmission with frequencies up to 100 MHz
This part of IEC 60603 covers 8-way shielded free and fixed connectors and specifies mechanical and environmental requirements and electrical transmission requirements for frequencies up to 100 MHz. These connectors are typically used as category 5 connectors in class D cabling systems specified in ISO/IEC 11801:2002.
These connectors are intermateable, interoperable, and backward compatible with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors. While the definition of interoperable is being discussed within the IEC, “interoperable” in this standard means the following: the fixed and the free connector are capable of interconnecting with any IEC 60603-7 series connector, and when it is interconnected, it fully meets all requirements of the lower frequency IEC 60603-7 series standard.
NOTE Transmission performance categories: in this IEC standard, the term “category”, when used in reference to transmission performance, refers to those categories defined in ISO/IEC 11801:2002.
