7 From standard to next generation cabling systems that support digital and analogue multimedia, Nexans has a wide selection of LANmark products ideally suited to specific applications and needs. There is also Nexans reputation for product versatility, providing unbiased systems that support all types of technologies. T h e m o s t c o m p r e h e n s i v e c o p p e r s y s t e m i n t h e i n d u s t r y Copper cabling you can depend on... LANmark-5 Enhanced Category 5e cabling with easy-to-use snap-in connectors deliver reliable, high-speed links for most of today s applications. Shielded versions help minimise electromagnetic interference. LANconnect-5, built around the 808 connectivity range, offers a robust alternative. With LANconnect/LANmark-5 Plus, guaranteed extended drive distance can be achieved. LANmark-6 Offers extra bandwidth and reliability. Uses familiar screened and unscreened cables and connectivity, and is easily installed in all markets/business environments. To support 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 500 MHz the zero risk screened technology of LANmark 6A/10G offers significant cost benefits. LANmark-7 The standardised Category 7 solution, delivering 1000 MHz over a fully shielded channel, provides capability for 10 Gbits/s and future applications which are equal to today s LAN fibre backbones. It uses the 2-in1 Category 6 RJ45 connector, which is forward compatible with LANmark-7 GG45. It supports simultaneous sharing of multiple applications and is ideally suited in places where re-cabling is cost-prohibitive (ships, oil rigs etc). LANmark

9 9 Optical fibre cabling is ideally suited as a LAN backbone integrating applications or linking buildings within a campus. Nexans offers complete end-to-end fibre solutions. As the industry s technology leader, Nexans introduces Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) that combines high bandwidth benefits of fibre with copper s ease of installation. T h e b a c k b o n e f o r t o d a y s h i g h b a n d w i d t h n e e d s Fibre solutions for specific needs... Standard Compliance The best value for today s and tomorrow s LANs using standard fibre classifications for 62.5/125 and 50/125 multi mode and single mode fibre. Extended Distance Support Laser-optimised fibres offer improved performance for long-distance needs with the LANmark-OFxt range, delivering 1 Gbit/s up to 800 m and 10 Gbit/s up to 450 m. Connectivity for field installation From traditional SC to small form factor formats like LC, different field installation methods are supported. Adapters are available in snap-in format which allows quick and easy installation. Pre-Terminated Each assembly of cable with connectors is produced under carefully controlled conditions to exact specifications. This significantly reduces link loss versus field termination, and cuts cost by saving on-site time and labour. High Density Provides high number of connectors in a rack or cabinet. Ideal for data centres and similar environments where high volume of cabling is required. LANmark

11 11 Emerging technologies and processes like wireless LAN (WLAN), Internet Protocol (IP) convergence, and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) are becoming complementary additions to LAN infrastructure. Nexans uses its LAN experience to support these new technologies with a set of products to deliver complete solutions. N e w L A N t e c h n o l o g i e s o f f e r p o w e r, m o b i l i t y a n d c o n n e c t i v i t y Solutions for new network applications... The value of LANs continues to grow with new applications like building management, IP telephony, security cameras and wireless access points joining traditional uses in voice and data. Such growth mandates consolidating cables down to one set that accommodates these multiple uses. Nexans provides cabling solutions which results in lower costs, simplified management & maintenance, reduced cabling volume and complexity: Wireless LAN (WLAN) Wireless demand has grown as enterprises use it to support remote workers or improve staff mobility, either within a building or throughout a campus. Nexans provides a range of secure Wireless LAN (WLAN) access points and controllers. Power over Ethernet (PoE) Carries both power and data to network-connected devices, such as IP telephones and web cameras, eliminating the need to run mains power to these points. This allows greater flexibility in placing devices, and helps reduce installation costs. Mid-span devices put power into data cabling which saves money by allowing the same twisted pair line to serve both powered and non-powered devices. LANmark
