4 Page 4 of Summary One design of screened connecting hardware has been subjected to an electrical performance test to verify that it is in compliance with the electrical requirements of generic cabling component standards for draft Category 6 and draft Category 7. The test has been carried out on a random selection of connecting hardware from a sample of 10 units. The connecting hardware for this qualification test was sampled and sent to DELTA by the producer. This report firstly gives an overview of the test procedures and lists the applied standards. Then the test results are reported and compared with the requirements. Based on the results, it is concluded if the connecting hardware complies with the requirements.

5 Page 5 of Reference to applicable standards and documents Test of the connecting hardware was performed with reference to workgroup papers: Ref. 1 Connectors for use in D.C., low frequency analogue, and in digital high speed data applications. Draft IEC : Unshielded 8-Way Connectors for frequencies up to 250 MHz. Doc. no. IEC 48 B/1045/CDV dated 16/03/2001. Ref. 2 Connectors for use in D.C., low frequency analogue, and in digital high speed data applications. Draft IEC : Connectors for frequencies up to 600 MHz. Doc. no. IEC 48 B/958/CDV dated 31/01/2001. Ref. 3 Generic cabling for customer premises draft ISO/IEC 11801, 2 nd edition JTC 1/SC 25N696.

6 Page 6 of Test procedures and equipment The tests carried out on the connecting hardware under test were performed according to test procedures worked out by DELTA and approved by DANAK. These procedures are as far as possible in compliance with the standardised procedures, which are referred in the standards for connecting hardware. For those test methods that are still for further study, DELTA has chosen appropriate tests, which are proposed by the working groups in the standardisation committees. DELTA is actively participating in many of these groups. Information on the detailed procedures is given upon request. In this section the procedures are described in brief and the applied equipment for the tests are listed. 3.1 Electrical tests The electrical tests on the connecting hardware were performed according to the procedures described in this section Attenuation and return loss The tests were performed in a set-up as shown in Fig Fig. 3.1 Test set-up for attenuation and return loss measurements. A full two port calibration was performed in the network analyser and all four S- parameters were measured.

NEXT was measured for all pairs differentially and common mode terminated in near and far end. Equipment: Network Analyser, HP 8753E Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: MA-COM hybrid Instrument no.: Power sum near end cross talk was calculated from the near end cross talk results.

8 Page 8 of Far end cross talk The tests were performed in a set-up as shown in Fig Fig. 3.3 Test set-up for Far end cross talk measurements FEXT was measured for all pairs differentially and common mode terminated in near and far end. Equipment: The same equipment as for near end cross talk Power sum far end cross talk was calculated from the far end cross talk results.

9 Page 9 of Balance (longitudinal conversion loss) Balance properties, Longitudinal Conversion Loss (LCL) was measured in a set-up as shown in Fig Fig. 3.4 Test set-up for LCL measurements. The test configuration was calibrated by measuring the differential and common mode insertion loss of the balun and correct for this parameter in the calculations. The common mode impedance was 50 Ω and the differential mode impedance was 100 Ω. Equipment: Network Analyzer, HP 8751A Instrument no.: Balun, BH Instrument no.: The figure shows the set-up for cable measurements. For connectors the same principle is applied with the differential and common mode terminations as described in the text.

10 Page 10 of Transfer impedance Transfer impedance was measured in a set-up as shown in fig Fig. 3.5 Test set-up for transfer impedance measurements. The transfer impedance is measured with the connector under test mounted in the tube of the triaxial test set-up. The transfer impedance read from a swept frequency plot. The connection between the tube and the screen is made in order to minimise contact impedance. Equipment: Network Analyzer, HP3577A Instrument no.: Triaxial test set-up Instrument no.: DC resistance and resistance unbalance DC resistance was measured with a four terminal Ohmmeter. Equipment: Micro-Ohmmeter, Keithley 580 Instrument Delay and delay skew Delay and delay skew were verified by looking at the design. The limits for delay are 2.5 ns which is an electrical length of 75 cm in air. This limit cannot be exceeded in the short NEXANS connector. The limit for delay skew is 1.25 ns which is an electrical length of 37 cm in air. This limit is not exceeded in the NEXANS connector.

12 Page 12 of Conclusion The NEXANS connector type GG45 has been measured in three configurations: The first is a mated connector with a RJ 45 Cat 6 plug. This connector configuration is tested for Cat 6 transmission performance. The second is the jack mated with a well screened Cat 6 plug. This configuration is tested for transfer impedance of the jack. The third is a mated connector with a Cat 7 plug. This connector configuration is tested for Cat 7 performance (including transfer impedance). The test results for the Cat 6 configuration show that the connector complies with all normative requirements. The test result for transfer impedance of the jack in Cat 6 configuration shows that the requirement is met by a good margin. The transfer impedance is below half of the requirement limit leaving suitable margin for a mating plug. The test results for the Cat 7 configuration show that the connector complies with the all requirements. In conclusion: The electrical transmission performance of the connector jack complies with: * draft IEC * draft IEC * draft ISO/IEC 11801, 2nd edition
