A scientifc invention by a young engineer more than70 years ago launched ADC. Indeed, ADC is a company born rominnovation, and to this day, leads the network in rastructure industry or percentageo dollars spent on research and developme nt. The proo can be ound on the walls oADCs engineering acilities where hundreds o patents reveal the names o companyengineers and scientists.

In this book youll read about many o these innovations. Youll see that when it comesto structured cabling, the di erence between the others and ADC, is in the science.

To be sure, ADCs TrueNet in rastructure solutions set the bar high or the industry.And thats why we keep raising it.

The choice o conductor insulation iscritical to cable per ormance. In AirES technology, air channels are used in the traditional FEP

insulation, which results in a 17% better dielectric constantover conventional FEP cables.

The result:Improved data communicationsin a smaller diameter cable.

22% smaller than typical Augmented Category 6 Cable

AirES cable improves attenuation due to lower dielectric lossresulting in smaller gauge copper than other cable.

Hard to crush an AirES cable.Air channels within the FEP insulation are distributed evenlyalong the entire conductor, orming a unifed system oarched channels to strengthen the construction.

a Gripping StoryWith ADCs LSA-Pluscontacts, connections willnever be the source osystem weakness.Cable connections and terminations within datacenters are subject to vibrations and mechanical

stresses not seen elsewhere within the enterprise.

70 percent o network downtime isattributed to the physical layer, or cables andconnectivity equipment.

The patented LSA-Plus InsulationDisplacement Contact (IDC) is the highestper orming, most reliable IDC in the industry.

LSA Plus technology is used throughoutADCs TrueNet line in jacks, panels andtermination blocks.

Insulation clamping ribs hold the wire securely isolating the contact area rom vibrationand mechanical stress.

Silver-plated contact tags at 45-degreeangles across the wires axis make a solid,gas-tight connection.

Axial and torsional restoring forces make a solid,gas-tight connection.

LSA-Plus silver-plated angled contacts are the securest available, anywhere.

ADC leaves more wire between contactpoints; provides a more reliable stressresistant connection.

Billions o ConnectionsLSA-Plus technology has been used in billions ofconnections worldwide, and continues to set thepace or others to ollow.

type (solid or stranded) and size (26-22 AWG)

LSA-Plus IDC versus 110 and 66 Block IDCs

LSA-Plus Contacts Split beam technology (F1=F2) = no movement Balancing of forces eliminates the tendency for a

conductor to be orced out o the contact over time

movement over time

Designing aInnovative Block Technology Offers Industrys Only Disconnect Feature.

ADC is the only manu acturerto o er a termination block

with a disconnect eature. Competitors typically

o er one solution: Closed.

Better Block ADCs UL certi ed blocks exceed all TIA and EIA Category 6 requirements Available in 5-, 8-, 10-, 20 -, 25- and 50-pair blocks Enables a path from the cable to the jumper side of the block, which

can be used to either temporarily or permanently disconnect the circuit viathe built-in test/disconnect port

Normally Closed

Disconnect Feature When a disconnect plug is inserted, the circuit is broken,

either temporarily or permanently Disconnect port provides fault isolation, testing and

monitoring without removing any wires

Patching Capability When a patch cord is inserted, thecable-side circuit may be redirected to another location.

Testing FeaturesWhen a look-both-ways Test Cord is inserted, both sides o thecircuit may be tested independently.

Simple density solutions are costly.The day-one savings o solutions that do not considerhow to manage and grow the network in rastructureare quickly eclipsed by outages, as well as open chassisslots and stranded network capacity, which require new

oor space.

ADCs Managed Density approach takes thelong view of LAN, SAN and data center design

with cable management eatures that ensure

maximum density and growth without disruptingservice or adding unneeded oor space.

Managed Density ensures the network can growtoday and be managed tomorrow.

The weakest link in any channel is the patch cord. This is espe-cially true under the high- requency operation o AugmentedCategory 6 systems.

Your infrastructure must last 10-15 yearsso shouldyour patch cords.

ADC patch cords are made with stranded conductors forimproved mechanical durability.

Solid conductor patch cords break when they are over exed.

With its patch cords, ADC uses a machine die to compact individual strands in a orm that resembles a solid conductor.

The result: Electrical per ormance o a solid conductor com-bined with the exibility and durability of a stranded cord.

CopperTen Patch PanelsOffset jack positioning and a composite (not metal)

rame reduces alien crosstalk.

CopperTen Modular JacksEach modular jack is laser-tuned using a million-dollar

automated process performed in Berlin, Germany. Trim-ming each board guarantees performance to 500 MHz.

Negating Alien Crosstalk By effectively maintaining the distance between the same

twisted pairs, alien crosstalk is negated in a six around onebundle. The result: Outstanding electrical performance in a

compact, unshielded twisted pair cable.

ADC designed and built the worlds rst 10Gbps solution torun over a ull 100 meters, and still leads the industry today.All o ADCs Augmented Category 6 channel solutions met the

strict performance requirements of IEEE 802.3an and TIA-B.2.10.

Signal IntegrityTrue impedance matching guarantees extraordinaryperformance with the TrueNet cabling system.

Impedance Matching =

14 103842AE 11/07 Revision 2007 ADC Telecommunications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

In high-bandwidth applications,signal throughput is imperative

or maintaining signal integrity. All ADC systems are impedance matched to

operate at tolerances o 100 3. The industrystandard is 15 . Impedance matching allows systems to run at the

highest possible per ormance levels. Optimizing impedance minimizes return loss and

greatly reduces Bit Error Rates (BER).

ADC manu actures eachcomponent o the TrueNetcabling system.As a result, we manu acture component compliantproducts that are speci cally tuned to maximumthroughput when used as a part o a system.

By tightly controlling the impedance of each com-ponent in the channel, the effects of Return Loss areminimized and the Bit Error Rates (BER) plummet.
