SYSTIMAX® Solutions Combines Design and Performance in VisiPatch 360 System

New patching solution uses reverse patching technology to improve cord management
November 1, 2006 RICHARDSON, Texas

SYSTIMAX Solutionsfrom CommScope (NYSE: CTV), the worldwide leader in structured connectivity solutions, is totally rethinking and redefining the user experience with its 360-degree product design philosophy. The first result is its new SYSTIMAX® VisiPatch® 360 System™, which incorporates integrated patching and cable management to deliver an ergonomically designed and aesthetically pleasing solution.

“SYSTIMAX Solutions’ new design philosophy allows us to create solutions that we believe are revolutionary, and the VisiPatch 360 System is just the first one to be introduced,” said George Brooks, Global Business Director, Emerging Products, Enterprise, CommScope.. “This new patching solution uses enhanced specifications and an improved design to help boost performance while responding to our customers’ need for an aesthetically pleasing solution that can support complex applications.”

The new VisiPatch 360 System is both an RJ-45 alternative rack-mount patching solution and an optimized wall-mount solution that is designed to make cable management easier. By projecting cords away from the user and into the patching field, the VisiPatch 360 System makes the patch cord plug-end more accessible. This also makes reading the labeling information easier while facilitating future moves, adds and changes.

The new system reduces cord cluster, patch cord and cable congestion associated with some RJ-45 systems and maximizes usable density. Minimizing cable congestion and increasing usable density can save a company time, space and money.

The VisiPatch 360 System supports 10 Gb/s and 1Gb/s applications with its superior transmission and performance. Snap-together components enable the system to be easily installed while its design provides maximum versatility.

“We believe our customers value their usage of space and time in addition to resources and money,” Brooks said. “Whether it is by reducing cable clutter, improving density, making moves, adds and changes easier to perform, or simply by taking up less space, the VisiPatch 360 System is designed to help them to do just that.”

The VisiPatch 360 System is now available globally and more information can be found at www.systimax.com.
