IEC 60603-7-41:2010 pdf – Connectors for electronic equipment – Part 7-41:Detail specification for 8-way, unshielded, free and fixed connectors,for data transmissions with frequencies up to 500 MHz.
This part of IEC 60603 covers 8-way, unshielded, free and fixed connectors, references
dimensional, mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics and tests in
IEC 60603-7, and specifies electrical transmission requirements, including power sum aln
(exogenous) crosstalk, for frequencies up to 500 MHz.
These connectors are typically used as category 6A connectors in class EA cabling systems specified in ISOIIEC 11801.
These connector5 are intermateable and interoperable with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors as defined in clause 2 of IEC 60603-7.
These connectors are backward compatible with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors.
NOTE Transmésson peflo4’mance categories: in this IEC stnderd. the term .categor. when used in relerence 10 transmission performance. refers to those calegories defined by ISOIIEC 11801

2 Terms and defInitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions in IEC 60603-7. Clause 2 apply as well as the following.
backward compatibility
the backward compatibility requirement ensures that a free or fixed connector which is in compliance with this standard, mated with a fixed or free connector in compliance with any lower frequency IEC 60603-7 series connector, fully complies with the requirements of the lower frequency IEC 60603.7 series connector
3 Common features and Isometric view
See Clause 3 of IEC 60603-7 for dimensions, views and requirements.
4 Cable terminations and Internal connections — Fixed and free connectors See IEC 60603-7 Clause 4 for cable termination and internal connections types
5 Gauges
The gauges as defined by Clause 5 of IEC 60603-7 shall apply.
6 Characteristics
6.1 G.n.ral
Connectors according to IEC 60603-7-41 shall also conform to all relevant requirements
specified by EC 60603-7,
6.2 Pin and pair grouping assignment
The pin and pair grouping assignment of 6.2 of IEC 60603-7 applies.
6.3 Classification into climatic category
Connectors according to IEC 60603-7-41 are classified in the same chmatic categories as defined by IEC 60603.7.
6.4 Electrical characteristics
Connectors according to IEC 60603-741 shall also conform to the electrical characteristics specified by IEC 60603-7.
6.5 Transmission characteristics
6.5.1 General
Compliance to this standard in respect to transmission characteristics, is determined according to specific test methods described in test group EP, see Table 1. The interoperability of connectors compliant to this standard shall be demonstrated by testing the fixed connectors with the full range of free connectors according to future lEG 60512-27-100, Compliance to this standard in respect to the alien (exogenous) crosstalk is determined according to specific test methods described in IEC 60512.25-9.
All transmission performance requirements apply between the reference planes specified in
future IEC 60512-27-100.
Whenever the formula results in a value greater than 72 dB, the requirement shall revert to72 dB.
NOTE Power Sum Alien(Exogenous)FEXT cannot be determined by a mated connector in isolation.Connectorcompliance is achieved by assessing a connector’s performance when mounted in accordance with themanufacturers installation instructions for each mounting type assessed and in relation to all other significantconnectors in close proximity isee lEC 60512-25-9].
6.6Mechanical
Connectors according to IEC 60603-7-41 shall also conform to the mechanical characteristicsspecified by lEC 606o3-7.
