smartPAK

Your Time is Money

contractor photo2With 1,500 feet of cable in each box, versus standard 1,000 ft boxes, smartPAK delivers the convenience and ease of use of a traditional pull-box with the additional benefits of 50% more cable. A 1,500 ft box virtually eliminates cable scrap when installing standards compliant 90 meter horizontal cable runs or even “typical“ 45 meter runs.

Make installs faster and easier with Teklok and Smartpak.
It may seem like a small thing, but to a veteran installer, it’s important: Berk-Tek’s innovative and unique packaging designs have revolutionized cable installation

TekLok benefits at a glance:

  • Standard feature on all Tek Pak pull boxes
  • Available on 1,000 ft. boxes only
  • Create more stable pulling stacks quickly and easily
  • Easy to assemble interlocking tabs; no special tools required
  • Quicker installation allows for reduced project costs
  • Unique, environmentally-friendly design offers less packaging waste

Lanmark-6 can mean more profit for you.
When the budget is tight, and network performance is still demanding, count on the verified and guaranteed performance of LANmark-6, and the installation efficiency and cost-savings of smartPAK. Then watch the savings go right to your bottom line.

Lanmark-6 benefits at a glance:

  • No center spline means fewer steps, less jobsite debris and faster installation
  • Minimized star (*) passes, thanks to 2 dB of margin on NEXT, PSNEXT, ACR and PSACR.
  • Small diameter cables mean better fill ratios in conduit or tray and allow for easyaccess at patch panels

Armor-Tek

The traditional method of protecting your optical fiber cable usually means installing innerduct or expensive conduit and then pulling your cable.

Not any more. The Solution: Armor-Tek

With a rugged, armored design delivering 10 to 13 times the crush resistance of standard fiber optic cable, Armor-Tek interlocked armor fiber cables are ideal for campus & building backbones, data centers and industrial applications.There is also a more practical use for these well engineered fiber cables.

A cost-effective alternative to conduit or plenum innerduct.

Armor-Tek fiber cables can be installed instead of traditional fiber cables in plenum innerduct or conduit. This provides the installer with a user-friendly, one-pull solution to an expensive and labor-intensive installation process. By installing Armor-Tek fiber cables instead of plenum innerduct or conduit, savings can run from 25-50% in materials, and reduce costly installation time and labor costs as much as 60%—a significant advantage over traditional installation methods. Plus, Armor-Tek fiber cables are not governed by fill ratios because they are UL listed as cable assemblies, allowing a higher concentration of cables in an area compared to conduit. And because they can be outdoor/indoor rated, and are extremely durable, Armor-Tek is an excellent choice for campus environments, too.

Armor-Tek makes the inevitable changes easier.

Armor-Tek fiber cables can also provide outstanding flexibility for modifications, alterations and changes, (MACs) as well as relocations, pathway changes or design modifications after the cable has been pulled, something conduit cannot easily accommodate.

uLan

Everything IP

IP convergence is among us. Every day, more and more devices are being connected to and powered by the network. In the enterprise environment especially, organizations are seeing the benefits of converging once-disparate building systems onto their IP networks to fully leverage the efficiency and cost savings benefits of Everything IP.

The Emergence of the uLAN

When we think of the core Local Area Network (LAN), we think of devices that have traditionally been Ethernet-enabled – desktop computers, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones and wireless access points. But with increasing system convergence, we are now seeing the emergence of a Utility LAN (uLAN). Like the traditional LAN, the uLAN is an interconnected set of devices that share data within the enterprise. But the uLAN is comprised of non-traditional Ethernet-enabled devices – lighting, HVAC, security, and AV systems – that are now being connected and powered by the IP network.
