Global network infrastructure specialist the Siemon Company recently announced the launch of its UltraMAX copper connectivity system in North America and Latin America. The manufacturer says the innovative platform allows users to “move beyond convention,” bringing Category 5e, 6, and 6A UTP system deployments to new levels of excellence.
An industry leader in copper connectivity, Siemon says it has focused its years of knowledge and expertise into creating UltraMAX, "bringing a fresh perspective that blends usability, quality, and performance into a sleek, single footprint that’s ideal for delivering more versatile, intuitive, and cost-effective deployments," as stated by a company press release.
Designed and manufactured in the U.S. at Siemon’s global headquarters, UltraMAX includes a wide array of outlets, patch panels, and termination tools that allow users to design, configure and implement their category 5e, 6, and 6A UTP network deployments to best suit their requirements.
Value proposition
Featuring Siemon’s proprietary linear punch down technology, which guides and verifies correct conductor placement, the UltraMAX system's outlets are designed to be fast and easy to terminate for any skill level, delivering consistent, reliable terminations that reduce installation time and avoid costly re-works.
Outlets can be terminated at the work area or the patch panel using Siemon’s 4-pair impact tool, or they can be terminated with a single position punch down tool to suit installer preference.
The outlets are available in keystone and patch panel mounting styles, as well as Siemon’s popular hybrid style that supports both flat and angled orientations and easy color-coding.
The company says the slimline design of UltraMAX outlets is ideal for tight-fitting environments. Additionally, each UltraMAX outlet features Siemon’s patented PowerGUARD technology for superior PoE (Types 1, 2, 3 & 4) support.
The UltraMAX copper connectivity system also includes a range of durable, sleek patch panels available in 24-port 1U and 48-port 2U flat and angled versions that work with any UltraMAX performance level.
In 2023, Siemon will further expand this patch panel line to include 48-port 1U patch panels. Constructed from high-strength steel with an attractive scratch-resistant finish, the company notes that the UltraMAX patch panels have a removable rear cable manager and can be purchased empty, kitted with outlets, or fully loaded and ready for termination right out of the box.
Mike Boisseau, Siemon’s business leader for copper systems, commented:
“UltraMAX is the culmination of Siemon’s many years of copper connectivity innovation and has been made possible by our decades of design expertise and state-of-the-art process automation. The result is an intuitive, quality solution that allows our customers to deploy UTP copper systems quickly and efficiently to support the growing number and diversity of connected devices and remain competitive in today’s evolving marketplace."
