Overview
EN 60603-7-41:2010 (equivalent to IEC 60603-7-41:2010) is a detail specification for 8‑way, unshielded, free and fixed connectors intended for data transmissions up to 500 MHz. It references dimensional, mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics and test methods given in IEC 60603-7 and associated IEC test standards. These connectors are intermateable, interoperable and backward compatible with other IEC 60603‑7 series connectors and are typically applied as Category 6 components in Class E cabling systems (ISO/IEC 11801).
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 60603-7-41:2010 defines the characteristics and test requirements necessary to ensure reliable high‑frequency performance for unshielded 8‑way connectors. Major technical topics include:
- Transmission performance up to 500 MHz, including requirements and test methods for:
- Insertion loss and return loss
- Propagation delay and delay skew
- Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT)
- Power-sum NEXT and power-sum FEXT
- Power Sum Alien (exogenous) NEXT and FEXT (alien crosstalk)
- Transverse conversion loss and transfer loss
- Mechanical and dimensional requirements to ensure intermateability with IEC 60603-7 series
- Environmental and reliability tests (mechanical endurance, vibration, temperature, preconditioning)
- Test schedules: basic (minimum) and full test schedules and arrangements for contact resistance and vibration testing
- Normative references to test methods in IEC 60512 series and signal integrity tests such as IEC 60512-25-9 and IEC 60512-27-100
Note: EN 60603-7-41 references the IEC base document for dimensions, mechanical/electrical characteristics and ensures compatibility within the series.
Applications and who uses it
This standard is relevant to:
- Connector manufacturers designing 8‑way RJ-style or similar unshielded data connectors
- Cable and cabling system designers specifying Category 6/Class E performance
- Network equipment and enclosure suppliers ensuring intermateability and backward compatibility
- Test laboratories and compliance engineers performing signal integrity and environmental tests
- Procurement and quality assurance teams validating connector performance for high-speed Ethernet and digital communication applications
Practical applications include horizontal patch panels, keystone jacks, modular plugs and PCB-mounted connector interfaces used in structured cabling and enterprise networking.

connectors, for data transmissions with frequencies up to 500 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
