SYSTIMAX® Solutions Extends Fiber Solutions Offering

New Fiber Products Released To Simplify Design and Installation
June 15, 2005 RICHARDSON, Texas

SYSTIMAX Solutions™ the worldwide leader in structured connectivity solutions and services for organizations, today announced the introduction of its new SYSTIMAX® InstaPATCH™ Plus and G2 System of fiber connectivity solutions, which assist both end-users and installers by offering either factory or field termination options. SYSTIMAX Solutions’ long heritage in fiber cables, connectors and panels has spanned the last forty years and today’s announcement further highlights the commitment SYSTIMAX Solutions has to the enterprise fiber market.

The new solutions will simplify design, configuration and ordering of fiber apparatus. They were designed through in-depth consultations with both installers and end-users to ensure usability, practicality and flexibility. The new G2 System, which is supplied either in factory or field-terminated options, offers a high-density, modular fiber connectivity solution that allows installers to connect system components together simply and quickly.

SYSTIMAX Solutions believes the InstaPATCH Plus Solution is particularly important for organizations’ data centers that have space and deployment constraints for the fiber solutions needed to connect servers and switches. The new system components can reduce on-site installation time by over 90% and provide data centers with a smooth migration path from serial to parallel optical transmission technologies as they are added in the future.

These fiber connectivity solutions will be available in all SYSTIMAX fiber solutions, including laser optimized multimode and zero water peak singlemode options supporting speeds up to and beyond 10 Gb/s. They also form an integral part of the SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED® and TeraSPEED™ end-to-end fiber solutions.

“Information Technology (IT) managers are required to deliver services cost effectively while being faced with an increasing number of users, sites and applications, often in less space,” says Chin Choi-Feng, Product Manager, Fiber-Optic Apparatus, SYSTIMAX Solutions. “We believe the new InstaPATCH Plus and G2 Systems allow a greater design flexibility, higher density and higher performance while reducing the installation time and cost of ownership. The new solutions allow field termination, fiber splicing as well as factory-terminated products, giving customers a greater degree of flexibility when designing and installing fiber optic infrastructures.”

Choi-Feng continued, “As connectivity providers, we also have to be futurists if we are to provide our clients with products that will adapt to future advances in technology. We believe the new fiber components, like all of our product offerings, fulfill this expectation.”

The InstaPATCH and G2 product ranges are available globally through SYSTIMAX Solutions’ network of BusinessPartners.
