ADC Introduces New TrueNet CopperTen Termination Block, Surface Mount Box and Faceplate for 10G Ethernet over UTP.MINNEAPOLIS -- ADC's CopperTen Augmented Category 6 System Delivers High-Performance Solutions to Counter Negative Effects of Insertion Loss The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss. and Alien Crosstalk See crosstalk. ADC (1) See A/D converter.

(NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ) (www.adc.com) today introduced a new high-performance TrueNet(R) CopperTen(TM) Augmented Category 6 termination block, surface mount box, and faceplate for 10-gigabit Ethernet applications. The new CopperTen solutions are the latest addition to ADC's Augmented Category 6 family of products, the world's first unshielded twisted pair See twisted pair. (hardware) unshielded twisted pair - (UTP) Normal telephone wire (in the USA). It may be used for computer to computer communications, e.g. using a version of Ethernet or localtalk. It is much cheaper than standard "full-spec" Ethernet cable. (UTP UTP (uridine triphosphate): see uracil. (Unshielded Twisted Pair) See twisted pair. UTP - unshielded twisted pair ) structured cabling Structured Cabling is defined as building or campus telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems. system enabling 10-gigabit Ethernet transmission over a full 100 meter distance. "CopperTen is a complete end-to-end Augmented Category 6 cabling system, which includes cables, connectors, patch cords, and panels designed to minimize alien crosstalk and improve internal electrical performance up to 500 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. . With all of these components working together, this next generation structured cabling technology offers unmatched performance as well as time and cost savings to installers and end-users alike," said Pat O'Brien, president of the Global Connectivity Solutions Business Unit for ADC. "With our latest CopperTen solutions we continue to meet and exceed the industry's most stringent standards and reaffirm our leadership. As a result CopperTen solutions are being deployed in high-performance networks worldwide." The new 20-pair CopperTen termination block is the world's highest performing cross-connect termination block. Designed to accommodate five incoming and five outgoing 4-pair Augmented Category 6 cables, the new termination block maintains distance between each 4 pair cable to meet Category 6A alien cross talk requirements and each IDC slot is color coded to allow for accurate termination. The termination block uses a disconnect feature making it ideal for Patch-by-Exception installations and can also be patched as a traditional cross-connect. In addition, the cable manager at the rear of the termination block ensures that cables are held in place securely without the need for Velcro ties. Typical UTP Category 6 cabling systems are hindered by the technical combination of insertion loss (a reduction in the amount of signal lost through impedance variation and attenuation Loss of signal power in a transmission. Attenuation The reduction in level of a transmitted quantity as a function of a parameter, usually distance. It is applied mainly to acoustic or electromagnetic waves and is expressed as the ratio of power densities. ) and alien crosstalk (interference from adjacent cables) at higher frequencies. However, with their unique designs, ADC's CopperTen 6-port surface mount box and 4-port staggered single gang faceplate counters the negative effects of excessive insertion loss and alien crosstalk that are critical for ensuring 10-gigabit Ethernet performance. Both the CopperTen surface mount box and faceplate serve as workstation mounting platforms for voice, video and data modular connectors, delivering a high performance solution that increases workstation density in a single gang-mounting platform while optimizing Augmented Category 6 performance. The CopperTen 6-port surface mount box design allows for proper bend radius Bend radius, which is measured to the inside curvature, is the minimum radius one can bend a pipe, tube, sheet, cable or hose to without kinking it, damaging it, or shortening its life. for Augmented Category 6 cables, and fits standard single-gang box or any furniture raceway opening. Likewise, the CopperTen 4-port faceplate fits standard single-gang boxes. CopperTen, with tens of millions of feet of cable installed worldwide, is the most specified, installed, and operational next-generation cabling system in the world. All CopperTen products are guaranteed to have a minimum data-carrying capacity of 18-gigabits per second and support the TIA (1) (Telecommunications Industry Association, Arlington, VA, www.tiaonline.org) A membership organization founded in 1988 that sets telecommunications standards worldwide. It was originally an EIA working group that was spun off and merged with the U.S. 568 B.2 Addendum 10 draft standard requirements for 10-gigabit Ethernet cabling systems. CopperTen provides a 10-fold increase in the transmission of large amounts of data as measured by Shannon's Capacity.
