New to SYSTIMAX Structured Connectivity Solutions? Read on to learn who we are, what we do, and what a structured connectivity solution is.

Who We Are

The SYSTIMAX solution is the premier structured connectivity system developed by Bell Laboratories, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies (formerly AT&T). Lucent Technologies is a Fortune 40 company with a global presence in 90 countries or territories, and a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of telecommunications systems, software and products.

What We Do

In short, we go beyond cabling systems to offer total connectivity solutions from copper, to fiber, to wireless connectivity, even a combination of the three. Unlike most companies, we design, manufacture and test all the products we sell. In fact, many of the world's most critical telecommunications advances were invented by the scientists and engineers of Bell Laboratories. This experience makes us uniquely qualified to design a cabling system precisely tailored to your needs -- from a simple LAN extension to an Intelligent Building System to a campus-wide network integrating buildings miles or kilometers apart.

What is a Structured Connectivity Solution?

A smart cabling decision can pay for itself many times over its lifetime. The alternative can mean complete re-cabling every few years. Careful planning can help you avoid that unpleasant necessity. The certified SYSTIMAX Structured Connectivity Solution you install today is warranted not simply to meet, but to exceed your performance needs, both today and in the future.

Though each system is unique, any structured cabling system must conform to these basic criteria:

• Standardized media and layout for both backbone and horizontal cabling.
• Standard connection interfaces for the physical connection of equipment.
• Consistent and uniform design that follows a system plan and basic design principles.

All SYSTIMAX components are made by a single manufacturer. Our integrated approach offers many additional benefits such as:

• End-to-end tested components that minimize the risk of incompatibility. With a multi-vendor approach, incompatibility problems may only become apparent when changes are made to the system or high speed networks are required.
• Open architecture supports equipment and applications of many vendors -- including data terminals, analog and digital telephones, personal computers, video teleconferencing and host computers, as well as common system equipment.
• Decreased maintenance costs: Fault-finding and resolution can be particularly expensive and time consuming in multi-vendor networks. SYSTIMAX components can be obtained from a single source, which reduces cost and improves response time.
• Minimized network outage risk and/or decreased outage duration. An end-to-end SYSTIMAX solution can cut down time by up to 50% to 80%!
• The best warranty in the business: The quality of a network's warranty is the best assurance that system faults will not result in unexpected costs. Our unique warranty covers not only your system components, but also the performance of specific applications for a full 15 years -- 20 for our GigaSPEED^TM or OptiSPEED^TM Channels!
