Overview

EN 60603-7-81:2016 (identical to IEC 60603-7-81:2015) is a detail specification for 8‑way, shielded, free and fixed connectors intended for data transmissions with frequencies up to 2 000 MHz. It defines dimensional, mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics and test requirements (referencing IEC 60603‑7) and specifies transmission performance limits including power‑sum alien (exogenous) crosstalk. These connectors are typically used as Category 8.1 components in Class I cabling systems per ISO/IEC 11801 and are intermateable/interoperable with other IEC 60603‑7 series connectors (with noted exceptions).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Connector type and scope
    • 8‑way, shielded, free (plugs) and fixed (sockets) connectors for up to 2000 MHz.
  • Transmission characteristics
    • Defined limits and measurement requirements for insertion loss, return loss, NEXT, FEXT, power‑sum NEXT/FEXT, delay, delay skew, and related signal integrity metrics.
  • Alien (exogenous) crosstalk
    • Power‑sum alien NEXT/FEXT requirements and test methods to assess interference between adjacent links.
  • Electrical and EMC properties
    • Transfer impedance, screening attenuation/coupling attenuation and continuity of shielding.
  • Mechanical and environmental
    • Dimensional/gauge requirements, mechanical durability (mating cycles, vibration), and climatic classifications.
  • Test methods and schedules
    • References to IEC test standards (e.g., IEC 60512 series, IEC 60512‑25‑9, IEC 60512‑26‑100, IEC 60512‑28‑100) and measurement arrangements for connector signal integrity and mechanical performance.
  • Interoperability and backward compatibility
    • Intermateability with other IEC 60603‑7 family connectors, except where explicitly excluded (IEC 60603‑7‑7 and IEC 60603‑7‑71).

Applications and users

Who uses EN 60603‑7‑81:

  • Connector and cable manufacturers designing shielded RJ45-style or similar 8‑way interfaces for very high frequency links.
  • Test labs and certification bodies validating connector performance to Class I / Category 8.1 requirements.
  • Systems integrators, data centre designers and network hardware vendors specifying components for high‑speed, shielded copper links. Practical uses:
  • Ensuring component compatibility and predictable signal integrity in short‑reach, high‑frequency copper links (e.g., patch panels, keystone modules, equipment ports) where alien crosstalk and shielding performance are critical.

Related standards

  • IEC/EN 60603‑7 (series) - general detail specifications for 8‑way connectors
  • IEC 60512 series - connector tests and signal integrity methods
  • IEC 62153‑4‑15 - screening attenuation / transfer impedance test methods
  • ISO/IEC 11801 - generic cabling for customer premises (Class I / Category 8.1)

Keywords: Connectors, Shielded connectors, Free and Fixed Connectors, Category 8.1, power sum alien crosstalk, IEC 60603‑7, 2000 MHz, ISO/IEC 11801.

CONNECTORS FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –

connectors, for data transmissions with frequencies up to 2 000 MHz

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
International Standard IEC 60603-7-81 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical
connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures
for electrical and electronic equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
