 | Connectivity and Physical Support End to End from Building Entrance to Desktop
More bandwidth, more applications ranging from multimedia to VoIP to security, more user policies and regulations, and more demands for flexible, ubiquitous networking. Delivering a highly reliable LAN in today's collaborative, information-rich enterprise remains a challenge. The challenge includes supporting both wired and wireless access for users who expect immediate gratification. Behind the switches, routers, and firewall, the foundation of any LAN is the connectivity and physical support infrastructure. Choosing the right infrastructure—and the right supplier—is a key enabler to creating a reliable high-performance network. The right infrastructure makes your job easier.
You won't be distracted by connectivity problems.
You won't worry about the infrastructure hiccuping at a new application.
You won't dread moves, adds and changes.
You'll have more time to concentrate on creating a network that gives your enterprise a competitive edge. |  | In short, the right connectivity and physical support infrastructure is all upside and no downside. It will perform flawlessly day in and day out. It will be easy to manage. It will meet the high expectations of network administrators and users. And you'll hear no complaints about infrastructure-related problems. The right supplier also makes your job easier. The right supplier means a comprehensive product range, application expertise, certified installers, warranty, and everything else that makes the difference between products and solutions. Whether you need to run on copper, fiber, or wireless…under floors, behind walls, or in ceilings…a small business or a large campus…a distributed, centralized, or zoned architecture, count on Ortronics, Wiremold and Cablofil for end-to-end solutions for everything you need.

A truism: users' thirst for bandwidth is never quenched. The demand for the converged services of voice, video, and data over your network also puts new demands on latency, available bandwidth, and real-time throughput. The open-office architecture allows you to increase network performance to the work area—and lower the cost and complexity of your network infrastructure at the same time. The open-office architecture takes advantage of the standards-based fiber to the telecom enclosure (FTTE) topology. It brings the benefits of fiber's high bandwidth and long transmission distances closer to the user. The open-office brings the fiber backbone to smaller telecom enclosures (TE) serving up to 48 users throughout the office. The telecom room is simplified, with reduced space requirements, cooling needs, and complexity. Among the advantages of the TE-based approach are these: |  | - Significantly reduced cooling requirements
- Lower equipment costs for network workgroup switches
- Easier, incremental migration to new technologies with minimal disruption
- Simplified management of moves, adds and changes
- Zero-footprint implementation with wall-mounting TEs
- Savings of 30% to 40% over traditional hierarchical star topologies
- More bandwidth to each user
While fiber runs from the main equipment room to the TE, runs to users can be on copper, fiber, or even wireless connections. The TE is designed to accommodate both the network equipment and cabling management hardware to serve users. Cooling is as easy as an optional fan. The open-office architecture significantly reduces the space and costs of telecom rooms on each floor. Give users the bandwidth and network performance they need for seamless, high-performance video, fast access to data, and VoIP capabilities. Ortronics/Legrand has combined our expertise in cable management and advanced connectivity to add an industry-leading telecom enclosure to our formidable line of infrastructure solutions. Now it's easier than ever to enjoy the lower costs and higher performance of the open office. | More Choice, More Flexibility, More Solutions
