CommScope has made a significant move in the realm of high-speed copper networks with the introduction of the SYSTIMAX GigaSHIELD X10D. This new end-to-end Cat 6A shielded platform aims to meet the demands of fast-evolving application fields that require high-performance networks which can be installed quickly and accurately.
Luc Adriaenssens, Vice President of Enterprise at CommScope, highlights the importance of the new platform: “Certain application fields are rapidly evolving to demand high-performance shielded networks that can be quickly and accurately installed.” This development is focused on giving customers a variety of optimized electrical performance options, setting a new standard for efficiency, sustainability, and support throughout the network life cycle. The GigaSHIELD X10D platform promises flexibility and reliability, which are trademarks of the CommScope brand.
One of the platform’s standout features is its construction using F/UTP, F/FTP, and S/FTP cables and patch cords, offering superior EMI and RFI rejection. This is particularly beneficial for light industrial and high-security environments that require robust network solutions. The platform exceeds both ISO/IEC and TIA/EIA industry standards for channel performance, ensuring seamless network reliability.
Moreover, the GigaSHIELD X10D platform showcases an eco-friendly design. It reduces single-use plastics and employs a modular architecture that slashes the number of network components and resources needed for production, distribution, and support. This focus is on extending the network’s lifecycle while minimizing its carbon footprint.
The integration capabilities of the GigaSHIELD X10D with the SYSTIMAX VisiPORT and the AIM SYSTIMAX imVision solutions enhance real-time network performance optimization and resource management. The MGS600S jack, compatible with the CommScope Jack Termination Tool, speeds up installation, making it faster and more reliable.
Additionally, the InstaPATCH pre-terminated assemblies within the GigaSHIELD X10D are reported to improve installation times by up to 80% compared to traditional field-terminated solutions, offering significant efficiency gains.
CommScope is backing its new platform with robust support options, including a 25-Year Product and Application Warranty and the SYSTIMAX Assurance program, which offers design assistance, among other services. This comprehensive support framework provides customers with the confidence to embrace the new technology with assurance and ease.
