or more than 20 years, KRONE
Australia has maintained a leading
position in the Australian IT&T market,
demonstrating consistent excellence in
manufacturing processes, brand
marketing and product innovation.
This year has been one of our most
successful yet, with the release of several
market-leading products. The release of
the Quick Connect General Purpose
outlet (GPO) in June caused a lot of
interest in the market place. The GPO
utilises KRONE’s unique LSA-PLUS
®
contact principle, resulting in up to
200% faster wire termination. Feedback from
our customers indicates that of all the recent
advances in electrical products, the GPO
termination method is probably the most
significant.
The soon to be released Quick Connect Ceiling
Power Outlet (CPO) is another joint development
between KRONE Australia and Gerard Industries.
Like the GPO, the CPO utilises KRONE’s
innovative LSA-PLUS quick connection
technology to make wire connection faster and
easier. The development of the CPO involved
many months of research and development and
has resulted in a power outlet that will reduce
installation time by 75%.
Designed and developed in Australia, our
HIGHBAND range of products are the highest
performing products of their type in the world.
The soon to be released Category 6 compliant
HIGHBAND 25 solution is the culmination of
more than two years of research and
development. We have invested millions of
dollars to ensure that our HIGHBAND 25 solution
will exceed your expectations. Our
advancements in cable management place this
solution well ahead of the competition.
Consumer confidence in the KRONE brand
continues to increase and our Access
NET
HighTIME conference held in Melbourne, in July,
confirms this. More than 70 delegates attended
this year’s conference making it the biggest ever!
The feedback from all in attendance was very
positive. Thank you to all that participated.
I would like to thank all of you who responded
to our Customer Feedback Questionnaire in the
last issue of Network News. It is gratifying to see
that our products and service continue to exceed
your expectations.
As market leader we are committed to the
continued development of leading edge
technology.
Sincerely
Craig Jones

he Australian designed and manufactured
HIGHBAND 8 and HIGHBAND 10 and
subsequently the Ultim8
™
took transmission
performance beyond imagination, allowing
networks to carry the most advanced
applications. Today, every standards based
application will run on a HIGHBAND structured
cabling system.
Success in the private market has resulted in
HIGHBAND being installed in some of the
highest profile public networks throughout the
world. Network providers such as Hong Kong
Telecom and Singapore Telecom have built their
networks on KRONE HIGHBAND. HIGHBAND,
ensures flawless delivery of Broadband services.
In response to growing global demand in both
the Access and Premises markets, KRONE
Australia has developed a 25 pair HIGHBAND
module. As the R&D Centre of Competence for
the Indo-Pacific region and one of only two A-
Class manufacturers in the KRONE group, we
were the obvious choice to develop and
manufacture the HIGHBAND 25.
HIGHBAND 25 is a high-density cross-connect
solution that will set new standards for network
performance and functionality. An integral part
of the new Premis
NET
®
GLOBAL LEADER
solution, HIGHBAND 25 is backed by our
TrueNet
™
Zero Bit Error guarantee for maximum
data throughput.
The HIGHBAND 25 module is the only 25 pair
module available on the market that features the
unique KRONE 45°, silver plated contact
principle and disconnect feature, which allows
for “Patch by Exception”(PBE). Utilising the PBE
method, network managers can decrease
installation costs and improve cabling methods
at the cross-connect.
KRONE’s patented LSA-PLUS
®
, 45° contacts
offer an integrated Insulation Displacement
Connection (IDC) system for mechanical and
electrical connection. Special attention to
maximum contact reliability regardless of
climatic and ambient conditions results in a high
degree of technical security through a gas-tight,
low resistance joint. The LSA-PLUS contact has
become the standard connection method in
more than 150 countries around the world.
HIGHBAND 25, combined with the recently
released KM8 jack and TrueNet cable, provides
maximum flexibility, Category 6 performance
and the unique TrueNet throughput warranty.
The new HIGHBAND 25, high-density solution
is particularly well suited to enterprises utilising a
high saturation of voice and data services. As
traditional voice and data platforms converge
and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) becomes
prevalant the HIGHBAND 25 provides the
optimum interface (More will be provided on this
in future issues of Network News). The
innovative patch cord design provides the most
user-friendly and cost effective cross-connect
available in the world today.

solution.
The release of HIGHBAND Ultim8 solution in
1998 took network performance to even greater
heights. More than four years later, this is still the
highest performing cross-connect module on the
market.
The new HIGHBAND 25 solution performs well
beyond the recently released Category 6
standard.
The HIGHBAND 25 module combined with
innovative patch cordage, superior cable
management, excellent labelling facilities and
the ever-reliable KRONE LSA-PLUS
®
contact
principle, results in a solution that provides
network administrators with the peace of mind
that they have purchased the best structured
cabling products available.
The HIGHBAND 25 solution comprises:
HIGHBAND 25 MODULE
Colour coded for ease of termination, the
HIGHBAND 25 module allows six, four pair
(Category 6) cables to be terminated. There is
also a variant available that is numbered 1 to 25
for termination of 25 pair cables.
The contact is silver plated and positioned at
45° to the axis of the wire. This ensures
maximum copper conductor remains at the
point of wire termination. The contacts have
constant torsional restoring forces ensuring a gas
tight termination on the wire conductor. As with
all LSA-PLUS contacts, there are clamping ribs on
the plastic housing to ensure mechanical
integrity of the connection and to remove any
stress caused by movement of the wire.
The HIGHBAND 25 is a disconnect module,
which means that the top and bottom rows of
the module are connected by two contacts
pressed against each other. The disconnect
feature allows for Patch by Exception (PBE), ease
of testing, quick disconnect of faulty computers
from the network and ease of monitoring of
network performance.
REAR CABLE MANAGER
The rear cable manager provides cable
management for incoming cables and makes
installation easier. The incoming cables are
simply routed through the slots provided and are
held in place by built in clips. The slots direct the
cable to the point of termination and hold the
cable whilst each pair of wires is terminated. This
eliminates the need for velcro ties to hold the
cable to the module.
MOUNTING FRAME
The 300 pair mounting
frame is made from high-
grade stainless steel,
providing strength and
corrosion resistance. The
frame is made with extra
depth to allow for strict
Category 6 bend radius
requirements and velcro
tie points have been
added to allow for tidy
installation practices and
ease of cable routing.
The module mounting
holes have been placed at
exact intervals to hold the
module firmly in place.
Cable troughs are mounted at both the top
and bottom of each vertical to ensure correct
cabling practices between verticals and to assist
with the appearance of the overall frame.

PATCH CORDS
The innovative design of the patch
cords provides for a neat and tidy
solution. The cords are directed to
the rear of the module and then fed
into the vertical cable managers.
The fully compliant Category 6
cords are available in both four pair and four pair
to RJ45 configurations. Each patch cord can be
individually labelled and a variety of colours are
available to help identify specific services.
A one pair patch cord is also available to patch
voice applications or to do single pair testing.
The plugs are manufactured from a durable,
high impact polycarbonate material
that has strength superior
to other plastics -
ensuring fault free
connection every
time.
VERTICAL CABLE MANAGERS
The vertical managers provide excellent cable
management between frames and are available
in single and dual versions. The cable managers
slot directly into the mounting frame and are
held firmly in place to ensure correct positioning.
The single version is suitable when space is at
a premium or where an additional cable
manager is required beside the first or last
vertical frame. The dual version is ideal for
positioning between verticals. Both versions
provide easy access for patch cords or hard
wiring and hold the cables away from the face of
the modules, improving the whole appearance
of the frame.
To allow for ease of
purchasing, the entire
range of HIGHBAND
products are
available in kit form.

Did you know . . .
Patch By Exception was
invented by KRONE nearly
ten years ago. Others now
copy as if it’s new.
Structured cabling forms the fundamental infrastructure critical to
network efficiency and reliability.
R
ecent studies show that over 70 percent of
network downtime can be directly attributed
to physical layer problems – specifically cabling
related faults. Network downtime not only
causes frustration to employees and customers,
it can virtually cripple a company’s business
operations, resulting in thousands of dollars in
lost productivity and failed business transactions.
No matter how state-of-the-art your active
network is, if your cabling system is of poor
quality your entire network performance will be
degraded.
Technologies that form the backbone of
today’s business communications systems such
as Internet, e-mail, multimedia conferencing and
e-commerce were still in their infancy just a few
years ago. Your cabling system needs to be able
to accommodate your current communications
requirements and provide the scope to plan
ahead. With this in mind – will your cabling
system be able to handle the demands that will
be placed on your network in the years to come?
A Premis
NET
®

F
eedback from those in attendance revealed
that KRONE’s annual Access
NET
HighTIME
conference is vital in understanding where the
industry is heading and what new products they
will be seeing in the market-place.
This year’s conference held at the Novotel Glen
Waverley, Melbourne on July 30th kicked off
with a corporate overview from our Sales and
Marketing Manager, Peter Davis.
Peter Meijer, Technical Training Manager and
Industry Liaison covered the latest developments in
cabling standards and also talked about KRONE’s
Special Applications Division, which develops
custom client solutions and specialty production
runs, specific to individual client needs.
Following Peter, Robert Cross, National Sales
Manager, Access
NET
discussed the effects of
lightning strikes on networks. Robert physically
demonstrated how KRONE arrestor magazines
and maintenance-free ComProtect guard
against over-voltage network spikes and power
cross faults.
Philip Day from Telstra’s Protection, Power &
Buildings division presented an insight into the
workings of the “International Telecom-
munications Union” (ITU) National Study Group
5 (NSG5). Philip outlined how the ITU studies the
cause and effect of various sources of
overvoltage and overcurrent on telecom-
munications lines and equipment. He outlined
Australia’s contribution to these studies, as well
as touching on the recommended methods for
maximising the effects of
protective apparatus.

Key Account Manager for
Access
NET
markets in Victoria
and Tasmania, then guided
delegates through some case
studies of the use of KRONE
cabling by some of Australia’s
and the world’s major
telecommunications players.
Alan Crawford, KRONE’s
Product Manager, Fibre Optics,
presented the applications and
benefits of KRONE’s fibre, free-
space optic and wireless
solutions. Alan also took the
opportunity to introduce the new ODS1000
from KRONE GmbH in Germany. The ODS1000 is
an optical distribution system for fibre-based
networks. Its extremely high-density frame and
configuration flexibility ensures that this will be a
popular choice for carriers and service providers
that need to manage large volumes of optical
fibre in limited floorspace.
After closing comments, HighTIME guests
took the opportunity to network amongst peers
and meet new business associates. Popular
political satirist Mr. Brian Dawe provided the
evening’s entertainment.
Access

Quality, flexibility and local manufacture were deciding factors for
NMIT when it chose to standardise on KRONE’s PBE solution across
its seven campuses.
N
orthern Melbourne Institute of TAFE (NMIT)
is a multi-campus, multi-discipline TAFE,
which delivers diverse training programs to
young and mature-aged students. Over 300 full-
time, part-time and short courses are offered to
30,000 students across NMIT’s seven campuses
located throughout the inner and northern
Melbourne regions of Preston, Heidelberg,
Epping, Collingwood, Greensborough, Parkville
and Fairfield.
Excellent resources, including state-of-the-art
technology, are features of the NMIT’s high-
quality training programs. NMIT has fully
equipped laboratories and workshops,
audiovisual equipment and studios, language
laboratories and computer equipment.
Aquaculture and viticulture research and
development are just two of the courses NMIT
offers that demand sophisticated information
technology resources.
In 2000 the Victorian State Government
awarded NMIT a grant of $150,000 to open an
aquaculture and applied research centre as part
of the Epping Agricultural Campus. The centre
now has 28 tanks and some 16,000 silver and
jade perch. By using sophisticated computer
software, students can experiment in food
terms, projected rates of growth and water
culture and reticulation methodology.
The Australian College of Wine (ACW) is a
world-class wine industry education and
research facility initiated by NMIT. It provides
quality training in viticulture, winemaking, wine
evaluation and wine marketing. ACW has three
vineyards – at Eden Park in the Plenty Valley, the
Yarra Glen Racing Centre in the Yarra Valley and
Aradale in Ararat. The latter was formerly an old
prison and mental asylum with around 40
buildings, many of which are heritage sites.
“Our network demands have escalated and it
is an ongoing challenge to ensure we continue
to provide the best technology assets for our
teachers and students”, said Mary Waterhouse,
IT Manager, NMIT.
About three years ago NMIT decided to look at
a standard cabling infrastructure solution across
the NMIT network. Since that time they have
been investigating various options such as pair
managed, RJ45 and PBE solutions from KRONE
as well as from other suppliers.
NMIT installed KRONE’s HIGHBAND
®
PBE
methodology at the Greensborough campus
about six years ago as the backbone for a high-
density telecommunications enterprise on the
back of Cisco switches and routers. It was
extremely successful and gave the IT department
that immeasurable luxury of more time.
There are 18 staff members reporting to Mary
Waterhouse in the IT team, with responsibility
across all campuses. Their time is at a premium.
The upgrade to KRONE’s PBE solution will provide
them with HIGHBAND 8 modules neatly rack-
mounted in frames with cable tails coming into the

active equipment. As a result clutter is minimised,
cables are efficiently tied, labelled and organised
and active equipment is readily accessible. Fault
finding becomes much easier to track and
diagnostic research can be performed either
through the online management system or offline.
NMIT’s seven campuses include a range of
architectural styles from contemporary office
administration blocks to heritage prison and
hospital buildings, farms and vineyards. As
NMIT’s educational offerings continue to
expand, existing campuses are relocated or
refurbished and new campuses are added to the
network.
The challenges when networking such diverse
types of premises are many and varied. NMIT are
using KRONE fibre as the wide area connection
to each campus from the head office
administration centre at Preston.
KRONE’s Premis

progressively installed at each campus under the

KRONE endorsed installer in the country. Rural
Phones and Data will be under-take all the work
at the Australian College of Wine campus at its
historic Aradale Vineyard at Ararat, 200kms

PBE has worked well for NMIT at the
Greensborough campus and it’s gratifying for us
to see PBE applied across the seven NMIT
campuses. It’s also rewarding to know that our
own Australian-designed and manufactured
HIGHBAND technology is at the core of PBE
technology.
The fact that KRONE HIGHBAND was
developed and manufactured in Australia was a
major factor in the purchasing decision for
NMIT. Supplier specifications state that NMIT
must buy Australian product wherever possible.
NMIT have been able to abide by the Australian
made rule while, at the same time, getting the
best and most flexible solution for their current
and future needs.

T
he cable manager is used to form and hold
the wires on the KM8 jack as the conductors
are terminated onto the jacks silver plated
KRONE LSA-PLUS
®
45-degree contacts. In
addition, the cable manager supports the wires
and prevents disturbances after termination. This
is all done on the KM8 jack without using the
familiar KRONE tool.
This departure from the previous method of
termination results from the recent release of the
Category 6 performance level for structured
cabling components. Category 6 sets a
performance specification for transmission over
twisted pair cabling at an upper frequency of
250 MHz, this is two-and-a-half times that of the
well known Category 5e standard. Category 6
more than doubles the bandwidth of Category
5e, vastly improves signal-to-noise margins and
has much better isolation from external noise,
allowing improved transmission performance.
While cables have a very consistent geometry
throughout their length, it’s when the signal
transitions from a cable to a connector that a
potential for discontinuity exists. When
frequencies of up to 250 MHz are transmitted
there is a quite different set of considerations in
cable and connection behaviour. IDC modular
jacks have to be user friendly in the field,
allowing the installer to easily form and
terminate the eight (8) wires. At the same time,
the required transmission characteristics at
Category 6 performance have to
be taken into account. At these
frequencies uncontrolled bending of the
wires and variation in the distance between
wires will have considerable effects on
performance.
The KM8’s unique cable manager provides
better control over the
placement of the
wire pairs and
automatically resolves the important issue of
keeping the unsheathed wire pairs as short as
possible up to the 45-degree IDC terminals.
In some circumstances, for example, when
terminating and fixing a modular jack on wall
outlets, the wires are terminated in the front of
the mounting position and the jack is turned
around and pushed back into the housing with
the cable ending up in an uncontrolled and
unknown position. This is not such an electrical
problem on Category 5e, but without the
benefit of a Cable manager at Category 6
frequencies there could be dire consequences for
the transmission performance of the circuit.
Conventional plastic cable ties must not be used
with Category 6 cable.
With undisturbed geometry, KRONE Category
6 cable has impedance of 100 Ohms and a
constant NEXT. The transmission characteristics
of the cable will be disturbed if:
The sheath is removed
The sheath and the pair separator are
removed
The sheath and the pair separator are
removed and the wires are untwisted.
The geometry of the wire pairs relative to
each other is changed.
This disturbance of the geometry has an
adverse impact on the transmission
characteristics, especially on NEXT and return
loss. The affect becomes greater with increasing
length of the disturbed region. The task of the
cable manager is to minimise these disturbing
influences, this is how it works:
NEXT:
By separation of the different wire pairs and a
defined guidance of the wire pairs there will be
no deterioration of the NEXT. Without a Cable
