CommScope announces SYSTIMAX 2.0 to address network infrastructure challenges

CommScope has announced SYSTIMAX 2.0 enhancements, the next generation of its SYSTIMAX building and data center connectivity portfolio which provides customers with the latest structured cabling solutions and support to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

For nearly 40 years, SYSTIMAX solutions have led the trajectory of tomorrow's network technologies, supporting customers’ network evolution within a fluid business environment. As the trusted solution in structured cabling, SYSTIMAX technology has been synonymous with exceeding the standards of enterprise connectivity, continuously evolving to redefine how building, data center and campus networks operate. SYSTIMAX 2.0 enhancements carry that legacy forward, leveraging CommScope’s rich history of performance and reliability in copper, fiber and network intelligence.

“With the SYSTIMAX 2.0 enhancements, CommScope is expanding its support for future customer needs with continuous technology innovation, world-class performance and reliability, application assurance and unrivaled global support,” stated Luc Adriaenssens, VP of Enterprise Product Management and R&D, CommScope. “We will be evolving the SYSTIMAX portfolio of products and services to ensure we continue to meet those needs.”

Customers increasingly need to support higher-demand devices on their twisted-pair Ethernet networks. The GigaSPEED XL5 technology is CommScope’s new multi-patented solution for customers needing to step up from 1 Gbps copper before making a commitment to 10 Gbps copper. The GigaSPEED XL5 solution supports applications such as multigigabit backhaul connectivity for advanced wireless access points. This new solution supports 2.5/5 gigabit Ethernet applications in 4-connector, 100m channels with bundled cables, while maintaining the ease of installation of our GigaSPEED XL solution.

CommScope’s new VisiPORT solution is an automated copper and fiber port status and capacity monitoring system that improves efficiency, reduces errors and removes the need for ongoing database maintenance. Using real-time data to lead decision-making reduces errors; the VisiPORT solution detects and transmits events upon the insertion or removal of a plug and can provide alerts on unexpected or unapproved patching activity. The solution is easy to deploy and provides instantaneous port status and port capacity information with the ability to set user defined thresholds for action. The VisiPORT solution is comprised of intelligent copper panels and fiber shelves with built-in port sensors and system controllers.

At the core of the SYSTIMAX 2.0 experience are CommScope’s flagship solutions including fiber, intelligence, edge architectures and copper portfolio, which customers have historically relied on for successful network evolution. In aligning our solutions under the SYSTIMAX 2.0 program, customers can make the most of their networks for years to come.

The new SYSTIMAX 2.0 program is a complete solution built on our core pillars including: fiber and copper structured cabling solutions, network intelligence, edge and extended distance solutions, and customer support. These pillars serve as a foundation offering unparalleled solutions providing customers more options that meet their evolving network needs.
