Siemon Introduces New Intelligent Infrastructure Solution for Physical Layer Network Management

MapIT solution now fully integrates with Siemon's category 6A 10Gb/s screened twisted-pair copper cabling system.

Watertown, CT — Siemon, a recognized leader in network cabling solutions, is proud to introduce a 10G 6A F/UTP version of their popular MapIT intelligent infrastructure management solution.

Launched in 2005, Siemon's end-to-end MapIT solution was designed to help IT professionals manage their networks, improve documentation, enhance security, improve productivity and reduce downtime. The solution utilizes a powerful combination of software and specially designed, sensor-enabled connecting hardware to track any changes made to the physical layer and provides location information for any IP enabled device connected to the network. The MapIT solution also features comprehensive network documentation tools, simplifying both regulatory compliance and troubleshooting.

Siemon's 10G 6A F/UTP MapIT system meets or exceeds all channel requirements dictated by the IEEE 802.3an standard. The end-to-end 10Gb/s solution consists of a smaller diameter F/UTP cable and screened tool-less MAX modules as well as sensor -enabled MapIT patch panels and screened 10G 6A MC patch cords. The system is supported by multiple work area faceplates and surface mount options in addition to a full suite of Siemon datacenter/telecom room rack and cable management products. Like all Siemon solutions, 10G 6A F/UTP MapIT carries an inclusive 20 year system warranty when installed by a Siemon Certified Installer.

"The integration of MapIT into a high-performance category 6A screened cabling solution is a natural step," explained Robert Carlson, Siemon's VP of Global Marketing. "The same growing user base that demands the performance headroom and crosstalk resistance of a screened 10Gb/s cabling solution typically understands the network management efficiencies and security benefits of a robust intelligent patching solution."
