CopperTen™ Augmented Category 6 

 

10 Gigabits per second of data over twisted pair copper cabling represents a tenfold increase in local area network (LAN) data rate capability over existing Category 6 systems.

CopperTen offers network managers the opportunity to install ten times the data capacity for only a small additional cost, while giving them the future proofing they need for converged and multi-media voice/data/video requirements both now and over the coming years.

To meet the requirements of markets throughout the world, CopperTen is available in both UTP (unshielded) and S/FTP (shielded) formats and meets the evolving standards such as IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T) and TIA/EIA-568-B.2.

ADC KRONE was the first company to demonstrate that 10Gigabit/s UTP was possible back in November 2003 and now have over two years’ manufacturing experience. Already thousands of kilometres of CopperTen cable and hundreds of thousands of CopperTen ports are already deployed by enterprises around the world.

ADC KRONE’s experience shows that over 70% of CopperTen deployments have been in the network horizontal, the remainder being in data centres and storage area networks (SAN). Customers include banks, universities, manufacturing companies, animation studios and solicitors.

Full range
CopperTen is a full system solution including all of the components needed to produce an Augmented Category 6 or Category 7 end-to-end network.  The range includes cable, jacks, patch panels and patch cords and is complemented by the TrueNet fibre portfolio for longer-reach backbone and campus requirements.

Now or later?
Network infrastructure represents a long-term investment.  It needs to be able to underpin technology advancements that the IT industry will make over the next seven to twelve years.

Network managers who are re-cabling at the current time need to ensue the best possible fibre-proofing for the future profitability of their organisations.  With a full 10 Gigabit/s capacity and at little extra cost, CopperTen enables them to deploy that future proofing.
