Hitachi Cable America and Optical Cable Corporation STRUCTURED CABLING SOLUTIONS TM MOving data
TM MOving data Just as a water infrastructure is essential to modern life, information is critical to the survival and growth of any contemporary organization. Whether you are a small state college or a multinational conglomerate, quick and reliable access to data, for both internal and external customers, can be the difference between success and failure. H2O, a joint network infrastructure solution from Hitachi Cable America (HCA) and Optical Cable Corporation (OCC), addresses this concern by providing a dependable high-speed pipeline for your data lifeline. Over a very short period of time, the demand for high-bandwidth multimedia content has increased the amount of data flowing through enterprise networks from a trickle to a flood. The sheer volume of data has to be effectively harnessed and channeled throughout your organization when and where you need it. H2O solutions help manage this cascade of data so that users receive maximum throughput without any network latency. The H2O line of products has been independently verified for performance. With over half a century s worth of experience in manufacturing network components, HCA and OCC understand just how important your network is. When OCC and HCA components are mated together as an end-to-end solution, they form an infrastructure with exceptional transmission performance. Whether you are deploying a Gigabit or a 10-Gigabit Ethernet network solution, H2O will deliver optimum performance day in and day out. If maximum throughput on a consistent basis is critical to the operation of your network, choose the network solution that understands the flow of data. Choose H2O. 2
A Warranty of Substance H2O solutions not only provide exceptional performance, they are backed by one of the most comprehensive warranty programs available. H2O solutions, when installed by an H2O certified installer, are covered by a 25 year warranty. The warranty covers the cables, the connectivity hardware, and any associated labor. Additionally, an H2O warranty can be transferred to a new owner. While many companies offer a warranty, few offer one as thorough as the H2O Warranty. Contractor Certification H2O Certified Installers are authorized to install and certify H2O products as an end-to-end system. These contractors, whose selection is based on a number of factors, demonstrate advanced installation skills for network infrastructure installations and are appropriately staffed to handle projects big and small. 3
