Structured Cabling System, Additional Products Expand Company's Offering to Encompass End-to-End Solutions
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash., July 30 / -- Telect, Inc. recently unveiled a broad range of products, systems, and solutions engineered for residential and small office applications, effectively expanding the company's product portfolio beyond its traditional line of central office connectivity, power and equipment enclosure products.
Telect's new structured cabling system, which includes distribution panels, cabling, wall outlets and other items, provides a complete solution for efficiently handling high-bandwidth content within a home or small office network. The Telect Media Gateway system addresses a key challenge that service providers are beginning to face -- once high-bandwidth content is delivered to a home via FTTx or other next-generation network architectures, the home network itself must be able to efficiently distribute, manage, and deliver ever-increasing data rates.
"A well designed home network is absolutely crucial in successfully delivering the high-bandwidth content that consumers demand," said Telect Broadband Solutions Program Manager Mark Hawley. "The Telect Media Gateway system will appeal to everyone from service providers to developers, home builders, installers and end users."
Structured Cabling System Fits Homes or Small Offices
Telect's new Media Gateway structured cabling system features a flexible design and a unique color-coding system to simplify connectivity, helping to deliver advanced services throughout today's homes in a simple, cost-effective and easy-to-maintain manner. Central distribution panels, wall outlets, cabling and accessories combine to create a full solution that enables triple-play voice, video and data distribution in a home or small office.
The Telect Media Gateway (patents pending) features Category 5e and RF video connectivity and distribution components, along with wall outlets for location in each room of a home. The system supports the distribution of a full range of home services available today, from video on-demand to high-speed data, IP video, voice-over-IP and more, while providing a platform for growth into tomorrow's capabilities. Various systems fit applications ranging from new housing/greenfield developments to retrofits in existing homes.
Key features include:
o Color-coded connectivity system: Users simply match numerical- and color-corresponding wall outlets with ports in the panel for quick connections and easy reconfiguration for future service changes. o Simple installation and start-up: Clearly labeled connectivity modules, splitters, and other devices in the panel make it the most user-friendly structured cabling solution available. o Enhanced cable management in the panel: Cable tie-downs keep installations clean and well-managed; ample space available in the cabinet for jumpers and other cabling. o Comprehensive line of products for complete installation: Products available from Telect include panels, connectivity modules, wall outlets, cabling and accessories, all of which function together seamlessly, providing users with a single source for complete solutions.

In addition to these new products, Telect provides a full line of global connectivity and power products for central offices and data centers, along with equipment racks, cabinets, cabling, cable management, and additional network infrastructure solutions.

"With all of these new products, our emphasis is on simple usability and ongoing reliability," Hawley said. "We're providing the building blocks that help to enable the digital lifestyle in today's homes."
