Answering its customers' tremendous demand for more ways to bring fiber optic networks into the workplace, American Access Technologies (Nasdaq:AATK AATK Always At the Keyboard ) today announced it is expanding its unique line of patented, zone cabling cabinets.

"We have spent the past three months at the drawing board in response to a clamor in the telecommunications industry, and especially from specific customers. Our mission was to round out our product line to meet the needs these customers have once fiber optic infrastructure is in place. More ways had to be found to bring cable deeper into office buildings to work stations, and we have found ways to do that," said American Access President John Presley.

The Company will unveil three additional ceiling units that measure 2' by 2' and that maintain the same capacity as the current ceiling unit, which measures 2' by 4'. Three additional active floor models are also in pre-production. Some units are slated for private labeling agreements and other designs will be sold through the Company's e-commerce Business to Business website, Zonecabling.com.

"We expect the demand for our network solutions to grow proportionately with the demand for fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber ," Presley said.

American Access manufactures patented zone cabling units that mount in ceilings, raised floors, and in custom furniture, routing traditional cabling and fiber optics to the desktop. The Company's concept of "zone cabling" reduces costs for installation and moves, adds, and changes by as much as 70%.
