Specified and usable to 1000MHz, they far exceed the 862MHz requirement for high-definition signals, the company claimed. Through TERA's cable-sharing capability, four of these 1-pair cords can interface with a single TERA outlet and cable.
"No additional converters or adapters are required to connect to standard video equipment. The integrated baluns convert unbalanced video signals designed for coaxial cabling at 75ohms impedance to balanced 100ohm impedance signals required for transmission over balanced twisted pair cabling. The integrated F-type or PAL connectors are compatible with standard North American and European video equipment interfaces," informed Rajesh Kumar, country manager, The Siemon Company.
While the ability to cable-share and reduce cabling channels utilising hybrid TERA video cords makes Siemon's TERA cabling solution ideal for a range of video applications such as CCTV security systems, video conferencing, CATV broadcasts and more, cable sharing is not limited to video.
With a variety of 1, 2 and 4-pair hybrid TERA to RJ patch cord options, multiple voice and data applications can also be simultaneously supported by a single TERA outlet and cable: four analog phones, 2 VoIP phones, 2 10/100 Ethernet connections or a combination of the above. When utilising all 4 pairs, the TERA category 7A cabling system offers performance well in excess of 10Gb/s.
"The video cords add a new dimension to the TERA system's flexibility," explained Tony Veatch, TERA product manager, Siemon. |
