Original Press Release:
Ortronics and Berk-Tek Offer Guaranteed 3dB Performance Above the Category 6 Standards with the Introduction of NetClearGT3
January 1, 2002 - NetClear(TM), a Berk-Tek/Ortronics alliance, introduces NetClearGT3 - the next generation of NetClear and the future of high-performance cabling technology. NetClearGT3 is a fully compliant Category 6 cabling solution that integrates LANmark-2000 cable and cordage, the latest development from Berk-Tek, a Nexans company, with Ortronics Clarity6 optimized Category 6 components, to deliver maximum network performance and channel capacity with guaranteed installed channel performance 3dB above the Category 6 draft 10 standard.
NetClearGT3 offers: optimal mated connector and cable balance to minimize the impact of media change on the transmitted signal; higher signal to noise ratio for 3.0 Gb/s guaranteed channel capacity; and connector elements that are all tuned to the center of the TIA target de-embedded values.
LANmark-2000, enhanced Category 6 is the highest performing UTP cable available from Berk-Tek. This breakthrough product is advantageous for running numerous networking applications. LANmark-2000 is a multimedia, multipurpose-do everything cable for the new millennium that will comfortably support Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, in addition to supporting the convergence of voice, video and data.
The LANmark-2000 cabling solutions product line received independent verification from ITS ETL SEMKO as meeting the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Category 6 Draft 10 standard. To support ongoing efforts to provide the ultimate in enhanced UTP copper structured cabling solutions to match the needs of end-users, Berk-Tek consistently verifies its products to meet or exceed the latest industry requirements.
Clarity6, an evolutionary advancement in Category 6 connectivity from Ortronics, is the first completely standards compliant connectivity system in the market. Clarity's Category 6 component compliance has been independently 3rd party tested and verified by ETL. Clarity includes new modular 110 jacks, patch panels and patch cords as well as 110 blocks and 110 cords.
In addition to component compliance, Clarity's enhanced technology significantly improves the performance of the link and channel. Using Clarity Category 6 Connectivity in a connector interface provides targeted balance, minimizing the impact of media change on the transmitted signal. Additionally, the use of dual reactance Clarity technology provides a nearly transparent interface, allowing significantly improved signal to noise ratio. Clarity's Category 6 Component Compliance also insures optimum performance results with field test equipment.
Stop by the Ortronics (Booth #83) and Berk-Tek (Booth #110) booths at the 2002 BICSI Winter Conference in Orlando, FL to learn more about these exciting new developments.About NetClear NetClear offers end-to-end modular engineered solutions for enhanced Category Se, proposed Category 6 and optical fiber channels - all backed by a 25-year warranty. In addition to the new NetClearGT3 solution are the NetClearGT, NetClearGT2 and NetClearGTO solutions. NetClear solutions encompass all horizontal and backbone systems including high-performance interface cords, workstation outlets, cross- connect panels and enhanced performance horizontal and backbone cabling.
NetClear solutions are engineered to minimize the unwanted noise caused by the structured cabling system, which improves the network's ability to tolerate additional noise before the bit error rate increases beyond an acceptable level. Every NetClear solution is engineered, proven and independently verified to exceed TIA/EIA requirements for channel performance. The result is a network cabling system that is guaranteed to exceed the bit error rate requirements of even the most demanding applications such as Gigabit ATM and Gigabit Ethernet.
