Important Definitions:
ACR*Attenuation Cross-talk Ratio – the difference between attenuationand cross-talk attenuation. The ACR is used as a measure for the ratioof signal power to disturbance power.
Attenuation*The ratio between the power received at the end of a pair and thepower fed in at the beginning. Attenuation is given as a power ratioin logarithmic form (dB).
Channel*Channel or the entire transmission circuit without the plug-in connec-tors on the terminal devices
Characteristic Wave Impedance*This is defined as the ratio between voltage and current. It is thecharacteristic value for a homogeneous cable and characterises thetransmission system. In conjunction with the return loss, the charac-teristic wave impedance describes the transmission circuit.
Cross-talk Attenuation*A measure for the ratio between the power launched unintentionallyinto pair x from pair y and that fed into pair y.
Delay*Delay in signal transmission of a pair and thus restriction of thetransmission rate. The signal delay causes frequency-dependent signaldistortion.
FEXT*Far End Cross-talk. A distinction is made between Input-Output FEXT(I/O FEXT) and Equal Level FEXT (EL-FEXT).
Input Impedance*A frequency-dependent value corresponding to the characteristic waveimpedance which takes the inhomogeneities of the cable intoaccount. A transmission circuit can be described via this value.
NEXT*Near End Cross-talk.
Permanent LinkThe cable link installed between the patch panel and the socket (TA)
Power Sum (PS)*The power sum describes the sum total of all disturbance power laun-ched into a pair due to cross-talk. Power sum measurement comesvery close to application for Gigabit Ethernet, in which all pairs are inoperation. The Power Sum can be formed for ACR NEXT and FEXT.
Return Loss (RL)*This value describes the inhomogeneities in terms of the ratio bet-ween the forward electromagnetic wave and the return wave.
Skew*The difference between the delay times of two or more pairs. Theskew (delay) must be as small as possible for special applications, forexample Gigabit Ethernet.

With bandwidths of up to 450 MHz,
MegaLine 623 and 627 flex go far
beyond the performance of 250 MHz
required by the standard.
Trendsetting Performance
High bandwidths of up to 900 MHz,
an excellent NEXT and attenuation
response and an optimum cha-
racteristic wave impedance are a
few of the excellent features of
MegaLine 7 cables.
Of course, these are S/STP
cables with individual or overall
screening.

The bodies responsible for standardisation are now taking the increasing requirements
with regard to the performance and flexibility of indoor cabling into account. Thus,
new additional features such as PS-NEXT, PS-ACR, FEXT, PS-FEXT and Skew are
being defined for the second edition of ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173. This will
be an essential step towards realising the high-speed ATM protocols with
155/622 Mbit/s and Gigabit Ethernet with 1000 Mbit/s.
Classes and categories
Good performance in
all categories
The performance of MegaLine
copper data cables offers the
user excellent reserve capacity
in all categories. With MegaLine
5, Category 5 cables with band-
widths of up to 250 MHz are
now available in a compact
design.
Screened performance
in Category 6
The new Category 6/Class E
allows the use of 4-pair S/UTP
cables with overall screening or
preferably of S/STP cables.

With a bandwidth which only
optical fibres seemed able to
achieve up to now, MegaLine 8 is
ideally suitable for multimedia
applications.

ELine 600 EC7 – the multimedia
cabling system.
ELine 600 EC7 is a trailblazing
cabling system for multimedia
applications. It forms the per-
fect symbiosis of copper data
cables and connection technolo-
gy by continuing the pimf
screening in the EC7 plug.
Conclusion: you’ve made a good
connection!
A cabling system is only as strong as its weakest link. This is why the performance
parameters and the quality of the cables are the primary values in the chain
of system components. If connection technology and cables have been ideally
matched, the overall cabling circuit provides maximum benefit, maximum
reserve capacity and maximum safety.
Trailblazer
With ELine RJ, Kerpen special offers
cabling systems with a modular
structure. All components are com-
patible, allow economical retro-
fitting from Class D to Class F.

Standard MegaLine cables offer
optimum protection against fire
and are environmentally sound as
they use halogen-free, flame-
retardant materials only.
Thanks to innovative insulation
methods such as foaming,
MegaLine cables combine maxi-
mum performance with low space
requirements. Their small outer
diameter, defined curvature radius
and low weight make them easy
to install.
• Flame-retardant according to
IEC 60332-3
• Reduced calorific values
• Smoke density according to
IEC 61034
• Low toxicity
• No dioxines
• Corrosivity according to IEC 60754-2
The MegaLine cables of all categories
and classes feature a convincing
transmission capacity and high
safety reserves.
With their double screening and the
pimf screening in the case of S/STP
cables, they offer an especially
high degree of electromagnetic
compatibility.
The demands made on cabling are varied and at times contradictory. MegaLine data
and communication cables made of copper combine high performance, universality
and economy. This standard of quality can only be achieved by means of an
integrated cable design.

With MegaLine 623 and
MegaLine 623 DS, there are
now cables of Category 6 Class E
which, with their bandwidth
of 450 MHz, have exceptional
reserve capacities.
MegaLine 6
MegaLine 6 was and is a develop-
ment with a vision. As early as 1991,
the first MegaLine 6 was presented
as an S/STP cable in 100 Ω technolo-
gy. This cable paved the way for the
success of all S/STP cables.

Ker
pen As an innovative, independent company in the cable industry, we develop, produce and
market cables according to German and international standards, factory specifications and
the wishes of the customer.
In the field of cables and systems for information technology, we are one of the market
leaders in Europe with the MegaLineTM product family. Besides copper data cables of
the MegaLineTM brand, our product portfolio in the IT field also includes the copper system
technology ELineTM. Since January 2000, we have been producing GigaLineTM optical fibre
cables to the highest possible standards at our factory in Stolberg. The FLineTM cabling
system for optical fibres rounds off the IT product portfolio. Data cables and systems from
Kerpen are used mainly for Local Area Networks in structured in-door cabling and in
Metropolitan Area Networks for the operating of city networks. For cables for measurement
and control technology and for plant engineering, Kerpen has an important position inter-
nationally. It manufactures and markets high-quality power cables, telecommunications
cables and special cables for mining, industry and energy providers.
All our activities aim at quality and customer satisfaction – these are the standards by
which we are judged. Committed and creative employees contribute their abilities to the
realisation of this goal. The quality management system certified according to DIN ISO
9001 in 1990 and the environmental management system certified according to DIN EN ISO
14001 in 1998 also exclusively meet the demands of our customers for economy, reliability
and flexibility. – We will continue to work in this direction in the future.

Copper Data Cablesfor IT cabling
Important Definitions:
ACR*Attenuation Cross-talk Ratio – the difference between attenuationand cross-talk attenuation. The ACR is used as a measure for the ratioof signal power to disturbance power.
Attenuation*The ratio between the power received at the end of a pair and thepower fed in at the beginning. Attenuation is given as a power ratioin logarithmic form (dB).
Channel*Channel or the entire transmission circuit without the plug-in connec-tors on the terminal devices
Characteristic Wave Impedance*This is defined as the ratio between voltage and current. It is thecharacteristic value for a homogeneous cable and characterises thetransmission system. In conjunction with the return loss, the charac-teristic wave impedance describes the transmission circuit.
Cross-talk Attenuation*A measure for the ratio between the power launched unintentionallyinto pair x from pair y and that fed into pair y.
Delay*Delay in signal transmission of a pair and thus restriction of thetransmission rate. The signal delay causes frequency-dependent signaldistortion.
FEXT*Far End Cross-talk. A distinction is made between Input-Output FEXT(I/O FEXT) and Equal Level FEXT (EL-FEXT).
Input Impedance*A frequency-dependent value corresponding to the characteristic waveimpedance which takes the inhomogeneities of the cable intoaccount. A transmission circuit can be described via this value.
NEXT*Near End Cross-talk.
Permanent LinkThe cable link installed between the patch panel and the socket (TA)
Power Sum (PS)*The power sum describes the sum total of all disturbance power laun-ched into a pair due to cross-talk. Power sum measurement comesvery close to application for Gigabit Ethernet, in which all pairs are inoperation. The Power Sum can be formed for ACR NEXT and FEXT.
Return Loss (RL)*This value describes the inhomogeneities in terms of the ratio bet-ween the forward electromagnetic wave and the return wave.
Skew*The difference between the delay times of two or more pairs. Theskew (delay) must be as small as possible for special applications, forexample Gigabit Ethernet.
