Networks Begin with a Smart Infrastructure

Computers and the Internet change everything. Access to knowledge today knows no bounds. From kindergarten to graduate studies, students and teachers have harnessed networks and the Internet as an important tool for research, sharing, and collaboration . . . for distance learning . . . and for delivering rich multimedia learning experiences.

Wired education requires a sophisticated network, one capable of providing the bandwidth, security, and flexibility to meet evolving needs. And behind the servers, switches, and routers, it needs a robust structured cabling system that provides the connectivity infrastructure.

Security is a growing issue in education. It's now easier than ever to integrate cameras and other security devices over UTP of your cabling systems. Coax cable is going the way of the overhead projector as technology enables high-quality video over the network.

Schools are converging multiple networks in a single network capable of handling telephone, videoconferencing, video streaming, data and security in a single IP infrastructure.

The right structured cabling infrastructure means higher reliability and easier moves, adds and changes. It means being ready for the future—for wireless, for 10G, for high-definition multimedia, and for secure, uninterrupted communications to engage and educate fertile minds. A fully realized network helps students develop to their full potential.

More Choice, More Flexibility, More Solutions

As part of the Legrand group, a multibillion-dollar global leader in residential and commercial electrical and connectivity products, we also have access to a wide range of resources from other Legrand companies, each an industry leader in their area of connectivity, power, cable management, and signal controls.

Easier Connectivity

We give you more ways to connect and more ways to make it easy to create a cabling infrastructure that adds capabilities and reduces hassles.

Our wireless system is the first to integrate centrally managed wireless into the structured cabling system featuring our innovative Wi-Jack Duo™ wireless access points. Students and teachers can be untethered with the highest levels of security and comprehensive administration. Campus-wide solutions combine copper, fiber, and wireless to ensure seamless connectivity.

Wiremold® solutions for perimeter, in-floor, open-space, vertical, or overhead needs combine aesthetics and performance to make it easier than ever to route power and signals. And, the DS4000™ raceway is 10 Gig Ready™ for high-capacity perimeter cabling. They make retrofits, remodeling, and equipment or room upgrades simpler.

Cablofil® wire mesh cable trays and underfloor systems support flexible, cable routing with simple-to-install, easy-to-configure structures. Their Fast Assembly System™ uses one-step locking tabs that require no screws, bolts or other tools – just a screwdriver to save both time and money.

Support for Every Cabling Media

Copper, fiber, wireless—we can help you create an infrastructure that's easier to manage, more reliable day in and day out, and ready to carry the load. We offer some of the best 10G capabilities in both copper and fiber—so you'll know the bandwidth infrastructure is there to meet evolving needs.
