The Berk-Tek/Ortronics Alliance is introducing NetClear (www.netclear-channel.com) to the Canadian market.
NetClear is a cooperatively engineered, tested and marketed end-to-end structured cabling solution that offers dynamic performance for enhanced Category 5e, Category 6 and beyond and optical fiber channels.
"2001 was a difficult year, due to the economic downturn in the telecommunications sector, as well as the uncertainty that surrounded the horrible events of Sept. 11th in the U.S.," says Scott Dawdy, Ortronics business development manager for Canada. "2002, however, brings renewed promise of diplomatic world order and forecasted economic recovery.
"As such, Ortronics and Berk-Tek have taken this opportunity in Canada to reinvest in technology and program development, personnel and services in order to offer NetClear," Dawdy adds.
NetClear offers the NetClearGT Enhanced Category 5e Solution, the NetClearGT2 Enhanced Category 6 Solution, and the recently released NetClearGT3 Premium Category 6 Solution that guarantees channel performance 3dB above the Category 6 Draft 11 Standard. NetClear also offers the NetClearGTO Fiber Optic Solution.
Each NetClear solution encompasses 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. NetClear solutions are independently verified to exceed TIA/EIA requirements for channel performance.
NetClear is a Technology and Marketing Alliance between Berk-Tek, a Nexans Company, and Ortronics to further advance their enhanced copper and fiber cabling solutions. Ortronics Inc. is part of the Legrand group, Limoges, France. Berk-Tek has manufacturing facilities at New Holland, PA, Fuquay-Varina, NC and Elm City, NC.
