Tomorrow’s enterprise networks have grown beyond yesterday’s structured cabling infrastructure

In recent decades, technologies such as Wi-Fi®, IoT, PoE, OT and AI have arisen and evolved. Remote work and increased flexibility have reshaped perceptions of workspaces, demanding more adaptability from networks. The demand for network access has expanded beyond traditional office and data center environments to include warehouses, parking lots, sports venues and virtually any location where people and devices require connectivity.

While modular structured cabling has provided a reliable foundation for this connectivity for years, its traditional capabilities are becoming more and more insufficient; today's cabling infrastructure must support multiple media to seamlessly accommodate all communication needs. In my three decades in the industry, I’ve seen the application field grow wider and evolve into an increasingly diverse landscape that requires constant innovation for enterprises to keep pace.

Such future-ready network infrastructures must seamlessly blend various technologies. The SYSTIMAX® 2.0 portfolio of solutions was designed to fill this need, demonstrating its value as a media-agnostic platform, capable of supporting enterprise networks from end to end. The portfolio includes shielded and unshielded copper, multimode and singlemode fiber, extended reach options and intelligent infrastructure management.

The shielded solution to meet modern network needs

As part of this portfolio, the SYSTIMAX GigaSHIELD™ X10D solution meets the growing demand for a reliable and complete shielded Cat 6A solution for enterprises concerned about environmental interference affecting data transmission and integrity. Based on SYSTIMAX legacy, the GigaSHIELD series comprises F/UTP, F/FTP and S/FTP cables and patch cords that provide excellent electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) rejection. The MGS600S jack guarantees quick, accurate, and reliable installation.

In addition to GigaSHIELD X10D cabling, the SYSTIMAX 2.0 portfolio also features a complete suite of interoperable solutions that includes InstaPATCH® preterminated cable assemblies, which can reduce installation time by up to 80 percent, as well as SYSTIMAX imVision® automated infrastructure management and VisiPORT™ automated port monitoring for enhanced port and network intelligence.
