HellermannTyton Introduces RapidNet™: A Revolution in Copper and Fiber Network Cabling Solutions
Saturday, January 01, 2005
Milwaukee, WI - HellermannTyton, a global manufacturer of network cabling solutions, announces the launch of RapidNet, a new concept in pre-terminated network cabling. RapidNet is a pre-terminated "plug and play" system which does not require on-site termination or certification testing and allows copper and fiber to be used in the same panel. Installation time is drastically reduced by an estimated 75% compared to traditional cabling systems. RapidNet is offered in high-performance Category 6 and Multimode Fiber solutions that are ideal for many mission critical data centers, enterprise data centers, storage area networks, disaster recovery and redundancy planning.

HellermannTyton's RapidNet Category 6 is an ideal solution for high-performance cabling requirements. RapidNet utilizes a unique bundled cable design, cut to customer-specified lengths, and supplied pre-terminated at both ends to HellermannTyton's patented 6-way cassettes with a standard RJ45 interface. The RapidNet Category 6 solution has been independently tested by Intertek Testing Services (ETL) and far exceeds the TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 specifications. Each copper link is 100% tested to TIA specifications at factory and certification test reports are supplied with product.
The RapidNet Fiber solution is available with 62.5/125 µm, 50/125 µm or 50/125 µm 10Gig multimode fiber optic cable and is an excellent solution for extremely high bandwidth needs or extended distances. The 12-fiber single unit cable is cut to customer-specified lengths and supplied pre-terminated at both ends to HellermannTyton's patented 12-fiber cassettes with an LC connector interface. Rapidnet Fiber is a high density solution that will hold up to 48 fibers in 1U of rack space. Each fiber link is 100% tested to TIA specifications at factory and certification test reports are supplied with product.
RapidNet's patented cassettes and modular panel make installation extremely quick. Each pre-labeled cassette snaps easily into the modular panel. Removal of cassette is just as easy - simply slide the latch forward and the cassette easily comes out of the rear of the panel. HellermannTyton guarantees dependable installation and maximum performance for HellermannTyton's structured cabling products with the 25 Year Network Sciences Warranty. The warranty covers the copper and fiber connectivity products and cable, ensuring system performance in accordance with the current TIA standards.
