IEC 60603-7-71:2010 covers 8-way, shielded, free and fixed connectors, references dimensional, mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics and tests in IEC 60603-7, and specifies electrical transmission requirements, including power sum alien (exogenous) crosstalk, for frequencies up to 1 000 MHz. These connectors are typically used as category 7A connectors in class FA cabling systems specified in ISO/IEC 11801. These connectors are intermateable and interoperable with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors as defined in Clause 2 of IEC 60603-7-1 and IEC 60603-7-7. These connectors are backward compatible with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors.
