ADC Introduces New BroadWire ADSL Splitter.Business Editors & Technology Writers MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2000 With a Patent-Pending Cable Management Design and the Industry's Highest Circuit Density, the BroadWire Splitter Prepares Service Providers Around the World for Collocation ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. (Nasdaq: ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ; www.adc.com) today introduced the new ADC BroadWire(TM) ADSL splitter See POTS splitter. , the industry's highest density splitter platform. The BroadWire splits voice and data frequency bands so subscribers can receive voice and high-speed data services simultaneously over a twisted pair of copper wires. Effective ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line deployment challenges service providers to maximize valuable floor space and maintain network integrity. High circuit density and sound cable management is vital, as is the ability to accommodate varying voice and data frequency specifications. A patent-pending cable management design and the highest circuit density make the BroadWire splitter the first in the industry to fully satisfy these requirements, preparing service providers for the equipment collocation that results from industry deregulation Deregulation The reduction or elimination of government power in a particular industry, usually enacted to create more competition within the industry. Notes: Traditional areas that have been deregulated are the telephone and airline industries. . "The BroadWire splitter enables service providers to broaden their use of existing copper infrastructure," said Rob Cain, senior product manager for ADC's IP Connectivity products. "With the BroadWire, service providers around the world can deploy ADSL quickly and efficiently while maximizing valuable network space." Now available worldwide is the BroadWire 240 splitter, the industry's highest density ADSL splitter platform. The BroadWire 240 splitter supports up to 240 circuits in a compact footprint. To support this high circuit density, the splitter internally grooms signals and maximizes utilization of each twisted pair. Integrated cable management features ensure that twisted pairs are well routed for easy circuit identification. This patent-pending cable management design results from ADC's years of expertise in copper cable management.

(European Telecommunications Standards Institute (body) European Telecommunications Standards Institute - (ETSI) A European version of the ITU-T(?). ) compatible platform, the BroadWire 240 splitter is optimized for deployment in European, Middle Eastern, and Asian networks. ADC's unique filter design enables the splitter to accommodate the country-specific billing tones, complex impedance, and cable plant specifications often found in these regions of the world. To ensure interoperability, the BroadWire 240 splitter is compliant with ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. T1.413 Issue 2, G.Lite, ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union G.992.1, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. , 4B3T, 2B1Q, telephony, and European harmonized standards. DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary lines to residences and small businesses are expected to grow from 300,000 lines in 1999 to over 2.5 million lines in 2000 and more than 13.9 million lines by 2004 (Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. and McKinsey & Company). ADC offers a full range of equipment and software designed to support this enormous growth. ADC's range of products include connectivity equipment for xDSL interconnection and collocation as well as complete access and transport platforms for the high-speed delivery of xDSL services to homes and businesses.
