TERA

For other uses, see TERA (disambiguation).
TERA is a shielded twisted pair connector for use with Category 7 twisted-pair data cables, developed by The Siemon Company and standardized in 2003 by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61076-3-104. The 2006 revision of the standard extended the characterized performance up to 1000 MHz.[1] The connector has a different footprint from the more common 8P8C connector style, often colloquially referred to as "RJ-45".
TERA is also a useful interface for broadcast communications technology (BCT). This connector allows for cable sharing, permitting users to integrate video, voice and data services over a single cabling link.[citation needed]
