Warranty
Shields Communications is a member of the Corning Cable Systems Extended Warranty Program and is authorized to offer the 25-year year Corning Cable Systems Extended Warranty for qualifying installations of Corning Cable Systems LANscape Fiber Optic Cabling Solutions.
Shields Communications is a certified Krone structured cabling system installer.
Krone is an international leader in data and voice connecting hardware technology-delivering high quality, high performance products to over 140 countries around the globe.
TrueNet is the product of two wiring system technology leaders, Krone, Inc. and Prestolite Wire Corporation. These distinguished companies have combined resources to offer a structured cabling system that delivers zero bit errors. This revolutionary new system is fully-backed by a single-source, end-user warranty.
TrueNet attests to the company's interest in providing far-reaching cabling solutions. In concert with Krone, Prestolite looked at the entire structured cabling system-while in operation - and then designed and developed cabling products that ensured not just Category 5, 5e or 6 compliance, but uninterrupted data throughput.
TrueNet cable is based upon a patent-pending technology called TrueMatch . This product design and manufacturing innovation fine-tunes each cable to achieve operating impedance of 100 +-3 ohms. The cable is also tuned to the various system components, such as connectors, to achieve 100+-3 ohms impedance throughout the cabling system from NIC to server.

Application Guaranteed
Berk-Tek's GIGAlite-10 and Ortronics ORMMAC products are part of the NetClear MM10 precisely engineered solution.
NetClear MM10 System Performance
NetClear MM10 fiber solution was developed to facilitate advanced network requirements. NetClear MM10 offers horizontal, backbone, and campus fiber solutions that guarantee performance and network longevity.
The NetClear MM10 solution is supported by Berk-Tek's GIGAlite-10 and GIGAlite-10XB optical fiber which provides superior performance for 10 Gb applications (at 850 nm) by ensuring specifications that meet or exceed industry requirements.
This superior level of performance can only be verified by measuring Differential Mode Delay (DMD) on each fiber. DMD is the difference in arrival times of the various modes of light traveling down the core of a multimode fiber. DMD is the only true method to verify 10 Gb/s performance as all modes across the fiber core are checked. Test methods developed by TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC ensure compliance (TIA-455-220 and draft IEC 60793-1-49) for DMD measurements. Gigalite-10 and GIGAlite-10XB fiber also exceeds DMD specifications as called out in TIA-492AAAC and draft IEC-60793-2-10.
All NetClear MM10 solutions guarantee extended 1 Gb/s distances.

SYSTIMAX
InstaPATCH
System
Fiber Connections in an Instant
With the InstaPATCH System, 96 fibers can be ready for service in the time it takes to install a single connector in the traditional installation process. This can be very important for installations that are time sensitive, where network downtime or network turn-up time must be kept to a minimum. Customers can have interconnect and cross-connect patching systems in service in an instant.
The new system combines the proven, cost effective 10 Gb/s performance of LazrSPEED fiber with the highest fiber connector density in the industry. In sectors such as financial services, where demand for instant information is growing dramatically, the new system makes it easy to add fiber bandwidth as soon as it is needed.

Network Solutions
CommScope offers Uniprise Solutions encompassing copper and fiber with a wide range of connectivity choices, all with performance guarantees above standard. Uniprise Solutions provide strength through integration: your network is stronger, not simply because the products are optimized for maximum performance, but also because we integrate training, warranty, and the expert knowledge and resources that come only with CommScope, an industry leader for more than 25 years.
Copper Solutions
Uniprise
Solutions are available for Category 6 and Category 5e. Our copper connectivity is interchangable within standard, meaning there's no changing panels or outlets if you upgrade.
Fiber Solutions
CommScope
takes a flexible approach with our fiber optic solutions. We publish channel distances based on the amount of combined connector and splice loss, instead of just industry standard lengths. This allows for flexibility in design, and choice of our ST, SC or LC connectors, all of which have excellent performance characteristics.
Multimode Solutions
CommScope's four multimode solutions allow for the most cost-effective deployment of enterprise LAN network infrastructures. Uniprise multimode solutions include
LaserCore
and 62.5 micron solutions. Whether your network calls for 10 Megabit or 10 Gigabit, our fiber optic solutions meet or exceed industry standards.
Singlemode Solutions
CommScope offers a premium singlemode solution, which allows network designers to fully utilize the entire optical spectrum: Lightscope ZWP trade Solution. Our Lightscope ZWP singlemode fiber was the industry's first full-spectrum singlemode fiber, which takes advantage of the previously unused E band.
With the convergence of voice, video and data onto a single network, fiber choices can be confusing. Our LightScope ZWP solution, however, allows for the greatest flexibility and cost-effective deployment of converged networks, and is fully backwards compatible with existing single mode networks.
