Nexans approves Lantek® 7 for certification of LANmark-7 GG45™ cabling system
Nexans, France, the world-wide leader in the cable and optical fibre cable industry, has recently approved the Lantek® 7 cable tester for certification of the LANmark-7 GG45™ Cat. 7 cabling system according to the EN50173-1, Class F standard. The announcement clears the way for the installation of future-orientated network cabling solutions. The Nexans LANmark-7 GG45™ system uses the GG45 connector as recommended by EN50173-1, Class F. This results in a future-proof Cat. 7 cabling system that offers maximum performance with a high-degree of investment protection. The cabling system is capable of handling future 600MHz applications and is also backward compatible with Category 6/ISO E installations. Compatibility with the RJ45 connector ensures that the cabling system works with all existing Cat. 5 and 6 components, and if required, can be upgraded to Cat. 7/Class F through the simple exchange of patch cords.
Currently, Lantek® 7 is the only LAN cable certifier on the market that is able to test and certify Cat. 7/Class F installations according to the ratified EN50173-1, Class F standard. The approval of Lantek® 7 by Nexans for certification of the LANmark system is seen as further confirmation of this market leading position. The basis of the approval was matching comparison tests between a Nexans network analyser and the Lantek® 7 tester. For the first time, Lantek® 7 allows on-site testing and certification of the LANmark-7 GG45™ cabling system over the whole 600MHz frequency range and in accordance to procedures defined in the standard. Up until now, field measurements were only possible up to 300-MHz. Measurements up to 600MHz had to be performed using complex laboratory equipment. To support the GG45 connector, Ideal Industries, USA, one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of quality tools and test equipment for electrical and data communications markets, offers a new permanent link adapter equipped with 600MHz technology. These GG45 test and calibration kits are now available.
