As the worldwide leader in telecommunications infrastructure, KRONE has a knack for making the impossible, possible. At the IEEE 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard working group meeting, this proved to be the case when KRONE introduced the industry’s first augmented Category 6 cable. This cable comprised the necessary characteristics to enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet to be implemented over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) to the full 100 metres required for structured cabling systems. | news Vol11 No3 2004 erTen A WORLD FIRST PLUS.

As the worldwide leader in telecommunications infrastructure KRONE has a knack for making the impossible possible. At the IEEE 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard working group meeting this proved to be the case when KRONE introduced the industry s first augmented Category 6 cable. This cable comprised the necessary characteristics to enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet to be implemented over unshielded twisted pair UTP to the full 100 metres required for structured cabling systems. I m pleased to announce that this astounding breakthrough is now available as a complete end-to-end cabling system appropriately named KRONE CopperTen delivering an easier to install and more costeffective solution than shielded and fibre optic cabling systems revolutionising the future of networking forever. KRONE CopperTen was successfully launched in Australia at the recent CeBIT exhibition. Aimed at providing ICT solutions for tomorrow s business world CeBIT was the perfect place to showcase KRONE s latest innovation generating a great deal of interest amongst the IT community. Inside this special edition of Network News we provide you with a closer look at KRONE CopperTen and what makes it so revolutionary. On page 6 Glen Johnston s overview on the evolution of the 10 Gigabit copper phenomenon dispels the myths currently surrounding this new technology. While on page 8 Peter Meijer takes an in-depth look at the science behind KRONE CopperTen reviewing the attributes of the world s first 10GBASE-T UTP cabling system. KRONE understand cabling infrastructure is a long-term investment and now CopperTen provides customers with a truly flexible future proofed solution. On page 4 Rob Milne discusses this from an IT Manager s perspective .
