A Star is Born
Building a cabling solution for today’s and tomorrow’s network requires more than luck. It requires ingenuity in product development.
CopperTen™ Augmented Category 6 Solutions
ADC was first to market with an end-to-end Aug- mented Category 6 solution using innovative designs that reduce the effects of both insertion (signal) loss and alien crosstalk, the signal noise generated largely from adjacent cables.
One such innovation is the patent-pending eccentric star filler used for CopperTen cable. This revo- lutionary, offset filler creates an oblong cable shape that produces distance between cable pairs. In a bundle, the oblong-shaped cable also creates natural separation between adjacent cables. By effectively maintaining the distance between the same twist pairs, alien crosstalk is negated in a six around one bundle. The result is outstanding electrical performance in a compact, unshielded twisted pair cable.
10G performance is assured through ADC’s patent-pending CopperTen cable technology.
