CommScope Adds Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable to Uniprise Solutions for 10 Gigabit Connectivity

Structured cabling solution combines quality, performance and reliability for cost-efficient 10 Gb/s connectivity
November 9, 2010 RICHARDSON, Texas

CommScope, Inc. has added the Uniprise Ultra 10 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) structured cabling system to its quality portfolio of reliable, cost-effective 10 gigabits per second (Gbp/s) infrastructure solutions for communications networks.

The Uniprise Ultra 10® UTP system joins the Uniprise Ultra 10 Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP) copper and Uniprise Ready™ fiber solutions to deliver a full range of Uniprise 10 Gb/s media solutions. Ideal for value-oriented environments that are heavily adopting 10 Gb/s applications—including small-to-medium-sized enterprises, data center-equipped intelligent buildings, local and municipal government buildings, and primary and secondary educational campuses—the Ultra 10 UTP/FTP solutions enable IT managers to stay within budgets while also improving network performance.

Demand for bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming video, online media sharing, and virtual file storage that require 10 Gb/s connectivity has been growing at a faster rate than most mid-size enterprise IT budgets. Combining quality, reliability and performance, the Uniprise Ultra 10 copper systems provide cost-effective, extended bandwidth functionality to help businesses evolve network capabilities and prepare for emerging applications while maximizing IT spending.

“At CommScope, we understand that no business is immune to cost constraints. Our Uniprise Copper Solutions strive to meet budget needs without sacrificing the quality, reliability and performance of our standards-compliant telecommunications technology,” said Morgan Kurk, senior vice president, Enterprise Intelligent Buildings, CommScope. “By adding the Uniprise Ultra 10 system to the Uniprise® family of 10 Gb/s solutions, we can now offer our customers a complete range of end-to-end solutions for improving bandwidth, data throughput and network efficiency into tomorrow.”

Backed by CommScope’s Uniprise 20-year warranty, Uniprise Ultra 10 systems extend bandwidth without degrading internal channel transmission performance by suppressing interference from external pairs to eliminate alien crosstalk at frequencies up to 500 MHz. The Uniprise Ultra 10 UTP solution debuts in the North American Region and will be introduced gradually on a global scale in all regions where Uniprise products are offered.
