ADC Features Data Center-Grade Infrastructure Solutions at BICSI Fall Conference.

TrueNet Cabling Solutions Maximize Uptime for the Modern Data Center

MINNEAPOLIS -- ADC (NASDAQ:ADCT) (www.adc.com) today announced that it will feature its line of TrueNet([R]) Enterprise Solutions at the BICSI Fall Conference 2007 in Las Vegas, September 9-13. The event is being held at the MGM Grand Hotel where the company's solutions will be displayed at booth #212. TrueNet Enterprise solutions are designed and engineered to maximize the uptime of data centers and local area networks (LANs) around the world.

ADC TrueNet Solutions "Engineered for Uptime[TM]"

ADC's TrueNet System is an end-to-end, integrated portfolio of high-performance copper and fiber cable, connectivity and cable management solutions from the data center to the desk top.

One of the most critical measures for data centers is network availability. The most sophisticated data centers seek Tier IV reliability of 99.995 percent network availability, according to the Uptime Institute. However, all of the redundancy and advanced power and cooling measures available are irrelevant if the cable, connectivity and cable management systems are inferior and lead to network downtime. Based on its more than 50 years of proven experience in providing infrastructure for the world's most elite class of data networks, ADC's innovative solutions optimize data center operations.

"Today's data center customer expects highly reliable and scalable solutions -- and they demand 24 x 7 network uptime," said Jaxon Lang, vice president of product management, structured cabling for ADC. "Our networking solutions are engineered and manufactured to meet those expectations. With TrueNet, they have an infrastructure that can facilitate at least three generations of active equipment, and provide the reliability they need for their high-value data."

Free Educational Luncheon

ADC is hosting a free Augmented Category 6 luncheon seminar on Tuesday, September 11, from noon - 1:30 p.m. at the MGM Grand Hotel, Conference Center Level 1, Rooms 106 and 107. Speakers will discuss the latest industry news, provide a standards update and present findings on active test results. Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Featured ADC Data Center Solutions include:

* Angled CopperTen[TM] (10Gig) Patch Panel: Installation-friendly design allows for wire termination in a flat orientation, while a quick and simple adjustment to angle left/right promotes superior cable management and increases density by eliminating horizontal cable managers. The composite material and staggered port design mitigates alien crosstalk without sacrificing termination durability or port density. ADC's exclusive laser-tuned modular jacks reduce variability and enhance performance.

* CopperTen 20- and CopperTen 8-Pair Termination Blocks: ADC's highest performing termination block (10GBASE-T over UTP to a full 100 meters) offers versatility not possible with patch panels. The CopperTen 20-pair and 8-pair blocks' unique center port eliminates the need to remove cables for testing. And because patch cords are "temporary", the system saves thousands of dollars over traditional patched solutions as port-to-port patch cords are not required. Installations are hardwired providing the cleanest, most secure, most reliable and highest performing Category 6a system available.

* CopperTen Augmented Category 6 UTP cable: ADC designed and built the very first Augmented Category 6 cable, and has reduced the size of its CopperTen Augmented Category 6 UTP cable to an average outside diameter of 0.275" versus to the industry average of 0.310". The change translates into a 22 percent reduction in cross-sectional area compared to typical Augmented Category 6 cable. Implementing a smaller cable can enhance airflow for improved data center cooling, reliability and uptime. It also reduces installation costs because of its light weight and smaller volume, and it improves fill rates in cable trays, conduits and raceways.
