AMP-TWIST-7AS cabling system

The AMP-TWIST-7AS system is a high-performing cabling system designed to support the Cat 7 A and forthcoming Cat 8 performance standards. Changes have been made to the proposed Cat8 standard during the last ISO meeting in Mexico. The new draft is proposing 30 m and two new categories, Cat 8.1 and 8.2. TE Connectivity is already able to provide the AMP-TWIST system on of the first Cat 8 compliant systems.

The system by far exceeds the current Cat 8 requirements and can be used for server to switch applications as well as any other applications up to 30 m. A length of 50 m may be achievable depending on final IEEE requirements.

The capabilities of this system give cabling infrastructure designers more options compared with Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A systems, such as cost-effective cable-sharing and support of future generation network performance.

Features include: offers Class FA, F, EA, E and D in one SL-style system; sheath sharing offers up to four services over one cable; for all services such as ethernet, ISDN, analog telephone, audio, video, CATV; supports 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps and is capable for 40 Gbps; robust EMC performance; offers high density and high performance in one system; termination in 1-2 min; three times higher performance than common systems.
