New high-performance copper structured cabling systems introduced to SA

17 May 2006 Interconnection

Belden CDT Networking Division has introduced three fully-optimised Belden IBDN copper structured cabling systems, categorised by the applicable TIA/EIA Category Standard, along with each system's bandwidth and data-rate capacity.

* The Belden IBDN System 1200 exceeds TIA/EIA Category 5e Standards. It supports high-speed (1,2 Gbps) network applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, plus it provides clear bandwidth up to 160 MHz - an increase of 60% over the Cat. 5e standard of 100 MHz.

* The Belden IBDN System 2400 exceeds TIA/EIA Category 6 Standards. It supports high-speed (2,4 Gbps) network applications such as Gigabit Ethernet and delivers 250 MHz - a 25% increase over the 200 MHz bandwidth of typical Cat. 6-compliant channels.

* The Belden IBDN System 4800LX offers performance Beyond Cat6 for the utmost in signal reliability. This enhanced Cat. 6 system supports the most demanding, ultra-high speed and multiGigabit protocols, says Belden, and was the industry's first 300 MHz system, far exceeding all TIA/EIA specifications.

Each Belden IBDN 'Certified' System is supported by a series of warranties that adds important end-to-end system performance guarantees and ensures full compliance with cabling industry standards even after system installation.
