Siemon introduces new TERA to BladePatch cords for high-density RJ45 network equipment interfaces

Hybrid cords integrate a high-performance category 7A/class FA plug with an innovative RJ45 plug designed for Blade Servers in data centers, server farms and other high-density environments

WATERTOWN, Conn., March 18 /PRNewswire/ — Siemon introduce new versions of their hybrid TERA to RJ patch cords. These cords feature a standards- recognized TERA plug on one end and Siemon’s patented RJ45-compatible BladePatch plug on the other. The four pair TERA to BladePatch version utilizes high-quality category 7A stranded cable and meets or exceeds all 10GBASE-T standard requirements, including all alien crosstalk parameters.

The two-pair TERA to BladePatch cord allows two 10/100 Ethernet applications to be supported over a single TERA outlet and cable through cable sharing. Accepted by both TIA and ISO, cable sharing can help reduce the overall number of channels required to support lower-speed applications, effectively doubling connectivity density without increasing permanent link cable density. The BladePatch RJ45 plug further supports these density benefits.
