COMPETITVE COMPARISON ADC CopperTen ™ vs. Berk-Tek Lanmark 10G Feature Product ADC CopperTen ™ +/- +/- Product Berk-Tek Lanmark 10G Comments Horizontal Cable .295, smallest nominal diameter industry wide. +- .350 largest diameter in the industry, and allowed by proposed standards. Increased conduit and cable tray fi ll ratios. Lowers the overall installed cost. Proprietary star fi ller, which provides best alien cross talk characteristics. +- Spirally-wound spacing fi lament. Improves headroom on PSANEXT and PSAELFEXT. The most important measurements for any Augmented Category 6 solution. Patch Cords Utilizes ADC’s patented process which yields the electrical performance of a solid conductor and the mechanical performance of a stranded conductor. +- Utilizes 26 AWG stranded conductor with PVC insulation. Smaller gage helps with some Alien parameters, but cable will not meet component standards The weakest link in any channel is the Patch Cord. Because only channel requirements are defi ned – the advantage goes to single solutions providers. Patch Panels Offset jack postioning and a composite frame reduces alien cross talk between connectors. ++ Manufactured with Aluminum. Metal can act as a waveguide for Alien Cross Talk.
