Softing IT Networks WX_AD_FA_LKIT_T2 Class FA TERA Permanent Link measurement cable (kit) content_copy

The product is a TERA Permanent-Link test cable kit of class FA / Cat.7A, manufactured by Softing IT Networks. It is designed for precise measurement and quality testing of network cabling installations in the high-speed range, particularly for installations that must meet the requirements of Category 7A. The kit is specifically designed for use in professional network installations, where reliable and reproducible measurement of cable parameters is required to ensure performance and compliance with standards.

Applications
This test cable kit is used in the planning, installation, and maintenance of structured cabling systems, particularly in environments with high requirements for bandwidth and signal integrity. It is suitable for testing Permanent-Link configurations, where the cable connection between two devices runs through a permanently installed section, for example, between a switch and a socket. Class FA / Cat.7A corresponds to requirements for frequencies up to 1000 MHz and enables data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. The kit is commonly used in office buildings, data centers, or industrial facilities where high reliability of the network infrastructure is required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The kit includes a pair of TERA Permanent-Link adapters (WX_AD_TERAL2) and a pair of TERA Permanent-Link test cables (WX_AC_FA_LCORD_T2). The adapters serve as connection elements between the cable section to be tested and the network tester. They are designed for class F/FA, ensuring high electromagnetic shielding and low signal distortion. The test cables are also designed for class FA / Cat.7A and enable precise measurement of cable parameters such as attenuation, NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk), and Return Loss. The use of TERA technology ensures high measurement accuracy and reproducibility, which is essential for certifying network infrastructures.

Technology Explained Simply
The TERA technology (Test Equipment for Reliable Assessment) is a standard in network testing, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability of measurement results. The Permanent-Link measurement simulates the actual connection between two devices, realistically replicating the connectors and cable sections. Class FA / Cat.7A meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173-1, which apply to high-speed networks. The test cables are equipped with high shielding to minimize interference from electromagnetic fields. The use of TERA adapters and test cables ensures that measurement results are independent of the test equipment used and thus comparable.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is compatible with network testers that support TERA technology. It can be combined with other TERA products from Softing IT Networks to perform a complete inspection of network infrastructures. The adapters and test cables are designed for use in Permanent-Link configurations and cannot be used for other test types such as Channel tests. The use of TERA products ensures a uniform measurement method recognized in the industry.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply connecting the TERA adapters to the endpoints of the cable section to be tested. The test cables are connected to the adapters and then to the network tester. The measurement is carried out via the test equipment, with results displayed directly on the tester’s screen. Using the kit requires no additional tools or special mounting procedures. The adapters are designed for easy handling and can be connected quickly and securely.

Operational Advantages
The use of the TERA Permanent-Link test cable kit provides high measurement accuracy and reproducibility, which is essential for certifying network infrastructures. TERA technology ensures that measurement results are independent of the test equipment used and thus comparable. Class FA / Cat.7A enables testing of high-speed networks required for modern applications such as video transmission, cloud computing, or industrial automation. Using the kit reduces measurement error susceptibility and increases the efficiency of network installation and maintenance.
