ADC introduces TrueNet Structured Cabling System.

ADC has introduced the TrueNet Structured Cabling System, the integrated portfolio of industry-leading enterprise network solutions from ADC and recently acquired KRONE. The TrueNet System combines proven cable, connectivity, and cable management solutions for fiber, 10 Gigabit Ethernet over UTP copper, and Category 6/5e from the data center to the desktop, and is immediately available in North and South America.

"There has been a clear global move towards branded end-to-end systems and the trend seems set to continue with more suppliers offering both cable and connectivity," said Lone Hansen, research manager with industry analyst firm BSRIA.

The TrueNet Structured Cabling System is a highly reliable, end-to-end system designed to meet the unique network infrastructure needs of enterprises, backed by the industry's only true Zero-Bit Error Warranty that guarantees signal integrity and network throughput.

"Mission-critical applications and high-speed, highly reliable networks depend upon innovative infrastructure that exceeds industry standards and supports advanced protocols," said Bob Kenny, vice president of Global Enterprise Product Management for ADC. "TrueNet allows enterprises to push networks to the performance edge, and future-proof network infrastructure for emerging technologies such as VoIP and WiFi."

The TrueNet System incorporates leading-edge ADC enterprise solutions including:

--Cable-ADC's high-performance riser and plenum cable supports backbone and horizontal applications. TrueNet copper cables feature patented AirES technology to enhance signal speed and strength while minimizing cable size and crosstalk.

--Fiber--In the backbone or to the desk, optical networks achieve peak performance with ADC's fiber connectors, patch cords, raceways, and panels featuring integrated cable management and bend radius protection.

--10 Gigabit Ethernet--ADC's patent-pending 10 Gigabit Ethernet Solutions, CopperTen, are the world's first UTP systems to deliver all internal requirements of Category 6 while achieving 18 Gigabits per second capacity up to 625 MHz.

--Category 6--ADC's TrueNet Category 6 patch panels, patch cords, and cable are impedance matched to deliver extra bandwidth and better attenuation with zero bit errors.

--Category 5e--ADC's TrueNet Category 5e patch panels, patch cords, and cable form an end-to-end channel optimized to preserve signal strength and deliver zero bit error performance in Gigabit Ethernet applications.

--Power-over-Ethernet--Deliver power to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones, WiFi access points, and other IP devices over the local area network with ADC's IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power-over-Ethernet Controllers.

--Media Conversion--Expand optical networks while extending legacy copper infrastructure. ADC's OptEnet Media Converters transition and protect critical Ethernet, OC-12, and Gigabit Ethernet circuitry at the desktop and the data center.

--Work Area--Incorporate ADC's high-performance modular jacks are field-configurable for flush, surface and furniture mounting.

--Cable Management--Protect, route and manage network cables for optimized signal integrity with ADC's portfolio of cable management, labeling and racking solutions.

ADC's leading network infrastructure solutions are the foundation for high-speed, highly reliable networks throughout the world, and have already been deployed in sophisticated environments such as carrier-class data centers operated by service providers and enterprise organizations; data-intensive financial services and banking networks; highly-secure government networks; mission-critical healthcare networks; advanced networks at universities; real-time news and broadcasting networks; and industrial security, process control and communications networks.
