Annotation

This part of ISO/IEC 11801 covers the following channel descriptions constructed from components with a nominal impedance of 100 .

a) Class I: 30 m channel based on upcoming Category 8.1 components. This channel provides increased margin compared to ISO/IEC 11801, Class EA channels, and an upper frequency limit of 1 600 MHz (2 000 MHz (ffs) (see Clause 4).

b) Class II: 30 m channel based on upcoming Category 8.2 components. This channel provides increased margin compared to ISO/IEC 11801, Class FA channels, and an upper frequency limit of 1 600 MHz (2 000 MHz ffs) (see Clause 4).

c) Channels based on Category 6A components of ISO/IEC 11801, length corrected to 30 m (Clause 5).

d) Channels based on Category 7A components of ISO/IEC 11801, length corrected to 30 m (Clause 5).

e) Channels based on Category 6A components of ISO/IEC 11801, length corrected to 30 m, characterized beyond the current upper frequency (see Annex B).

f) Channels based on Category 7A components of ISO/IEC 11801, length corrected to 30 m, characterized beyond the current upper frequency (see Annex B).

This Technical Report offers an assessment (see Annex A) of expected capacity and reach for the channels defined in Clause 4, Clause 5 and Annex B.

All 30 m channels comprise a 2 m cord (50 % derated) attached at each end of a permanent link of 26 m length. These assumptions are for modelling only. ISO/IEC 11801 gives the freedom to use different configurations as long as the channel values are fulfilled.
