elcome to a new year of opportunity!
It’s true, that previous years in the
industry have been tough, but with a
stabilising marketplace, cutting-edge
developments and a great team, KRONE is
confident 2004 will be one of our best yet as
we continue to seek out new opportunities
and build on our achievements of 2003.
With the success of last year behind us it’s
pleasing to note that we’ve been able to keep
the momentum going and independent market
research has shown KRONE as Australia’s
preferred structured cabling provider, surpassing
competitors for quality and availability.
Our continued commitment to being at the forefront
of technology was recently displayed as KRONE unveiled
the world’s very first 10-Gigabit UTP cable. More details,
on what I’m sure you’ll agree is a most exciting industry
development, can be found on page 3.
Also inside, our Business Development Manager,
Robert Milne, explores the new wave of possibilities for
cost effective CCTV and the opportunities that now exist
in this market for KRONE structured cabling products.
On page 8, we review the benefits of KRONE’s new
Pre-Terminated Optical Fibre, our latest innovation
designed to save you time and money. I’m also pleased
to announce the recent release of Fibre-in-a-Box
™
a
new product that streamlines cable installation.
With a growing reputation for quality and our
unique 20-year warranty, KRONE is continuing to
secure substantial contracts in both the public and
private sectors. In this issue we take a closer look at
some of those projects including the High Court of
Australia, Bendigo Bank and Griffith University.
Building on our existing relationship with Cisco

n a year that was another difficult one for our
industry, KRONE has strengthened its position as
market leader with the introduction of our new
HIGHBAND
®
25 product portfolio and the opening of
our North Queensland Sales Office. We also took the
opportunity to expand our technical sales team in
existing markets. The delivery of specialist technical
presentations, training courses and our pre and post
sales service were, no doubt, major factors of our
success in 2003.
Independent market research has shown that KRONE
increased its market share in 2003. This can be directly
attributed to our growing presence in the marketplace
along with the innovation of the HIGHBAND 25
products. KRONE was successful in securing many large
projects, including Bovis Lend Lease, CGU and Bendigo
Bank. We were also successful in winning a high
number of medium size projects including our own
local Gosford and Wyong Hospitals.
Our new North Queensland Office has produced
some great results. In particular, the sales of fibre optic
cable manufactured locally at KRONE’s Australian fibre
optic manufacturing facility.
As we move into 2004, with what I believe to be a
stronger and more enthusiastic team than ever before,
and the release of new products, particularly our Punch
Down Category 6 Jack, it is hoped that KRONE will
further cement its position as Australia’s number one
structured cabling provider.
With the launch of a KRONE Consultant Forum late
in 2003 and plans to extend our sales team in a market
that now appears somewhat stable and moving
forward compared to other years, 2004 could be our
biggest Premis
NET
®
year on record, surpassing our
success in 2003.
KRONE will continue to focus heavily on the
corporate market with our Category 6 HIGHBAND 25
product as well as continuing to penetrate the fibre
optic world with our locally manufactured KRONE
products.
The first quarter of 2004 will see the finalisation of
our installer agreements resulting from our revamped
warranty program. Also in this quarter, KRONE will
conduct a national road show targeted at distributors,
end users, consultants and installers displaying our new
products and technical capabilities.
On behalf of KRONE Australia management and our
sales team, I wish to thank all our loyal customers for
their continued support and look forward to an
exciting 2004.

THE YEAR THAT WAS . . .
AND THE YEAR THAT WILL BE . . .
A look back at the successes of 2003, plus a preview of what’s in-store
for 2004!

Optics Division,

A
technology breakthrough was revealed
at the recent IEEE 10 Gigabit/s Ethernet
standard working group meeting. KRONE
demonstrated the world’s first augmented
Category 6 cable with the necessary
characteristics to enable 10 Gigabit/s
Ethernet to be implemented over
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) to the full
100 metres required for structured cabling
systems.
The test results on the new cable were
independently confirmed by a leading
Ethernet electronics vendor involved in the
development of 10 Gigabit/s technology
and the 10GBASE-T Ethernet standard.
Presenting the results, KRONE’s Senior
Project Manager Bernie Hammond said,
“Our presentation to the IEEE today shows
that KRONE has demonstrated its ability to
produce a UTP cable that exceeds the
requirements outline to run 10 Gigabit/s
Ethernet over a 100-metre, unshielded
twisted-pair copper channel.” Most
industry experts had concluded that it
would be extremely difficult to overcome
the technical combination of insertion loss
and alien crosstalk, or interference from
adjacent cables, with UTP cable - the most
prolific type of enterprise networking cable
in the world.
“By demonstrating that 10 Gigabit
Ethernet can be achieved over UTP cabling,
our engineers have once again demonstrated
KRONE’s unmatched commitment to
technological innovation,” said KRONE’s
President and Chief Operating Officer Ron
Lowy. “We are delighted to be the first in
the world to reach this remarkable
milestone.”
Q
KRONE WORLD FIRST!
10-Gigabit UTP Cable Unveiled
A
dvances in technology now provide opportunities
for KRONE structured cabling products in solutions
outside of the traditional voice and data. The Closed
Circuit Television (CCTV) and security market, previously
dominated through the use of coaxial cabling, can now
be provided for by using far more cost effective
structured cabling solutions.
Post 9/11 there has been a dramatic increase in the
requirement for cost effective video surveillance and
security monitoring. Fuelled by this demand has been
the development of a number of technologies to
reduce the cost of implementing what was previously a
large investment in both the active devices involved and
the passive infrastructure supporting them.
As a result of this requirement and other
circumstances, coupled with the ongoing march of IP
convergence, the outcome has been the development
of the so called 4th generation video surveillance
comprising IP multicasting, Digital to Digital, pure IP
based video systems. These solutions provide digital
communication based on TCP/IP for high quality, full
motion real-time video on standard IP networks over
Category 5/6 structured cabling, fibre optic, or copper
based xDSL, PSTN or ISDN services for wide area,
broadband access.
Key to 4th generation video surveillance has been
the development of an IP based “Smartcam” which can
provide for both a viewing and control capability on the
web based HTTP protocol. IP multicast capability
provides for viewing and recording of security footage
by multiple clients simultaneously and securely. Lower
cost, low voltage smartcams enable video surveillance
to be employed at remote locations, industrial
environments, on board moving vehicles, or for
temporary staged, or seasonal installations such as
events, concerts etc. Indeed conversion devices are also
available which can IP enable legacy, analogue based
CCTV cameras connected in situ by a short length of
coax cable at one end and a Category 5/6 at the other.
This can provide for most of the benefits of a 4th
generation video solution to legacy camera systems.
As an alternative to IP camera based systems, for
legacy, non-IP CCTV systems or those requiring high
resolution/high frame rate monitoring systems for
highly secure, realtime environments like banks,
casinos, etc has been the development of “CCTP” or
CCTV over twisted pair. CCTV, up until now, was
reticulated through 75 ohm coaxial cabling (typically
RG-6). Through development in balun technologies, it
is possible to incorporate CCTV signals into structured
cabling systems. To apply structured cabling
connectivity to CCTV, a reliable way is needed to adapt
the video signal to the twisted-pair cable. The CCTV
balun is key to this conversion. The CCTV balun is a
passive element that converts the unbalanced signal of
the coaxial cable to the balanced signal of the twisted-
pair. The balun must preserve a clear image quality over
the distance of a cable by providing immunity from
ground loop, hum and noise so as to produce
maximum video quality with minimum loss. The
twisted-pair cable has more signal attenuation than the
coaxial cable, hence the main factor necessary to
determine the maximum attainable distance is the
signal attenuation along the twisted-pair cable. A
higher performance category of cable means less
attenuation, ie. Category 6 is better than Category 5.
Video or CCTV baluns are transmission devices that
provide a low cost means of sending live video over
unshielded twisted pair, point-to-point wiring for
distances of up to 305m (1000 ft). The video baluns are
compatible with all coax control systems. A basic
system consists of one unit at each end of a twisted pair
of wires. The video baluns are intended for use over
Category 5 structured cabling runs or higher, to provide
a convenient, cost-effective alternative to coax. Most
available baluns are designed to provide immunity from
noise and interference, even when running next to line
power. As only one pair of wires is required for the
video signal, for simpler, fixed cameras not requiring
Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) active control, combined baluns are

COST EFFECTIVE CCTV
A new generation of security solutions has been born!

it is now possible to dramatically reduce the cost of
security CCTV infrastructure
Savings can be realised in lower labour and material
costs, smaller conduits, fewer cable pulls, common
media topology and easier retrofits using existing
cabling deployed for voice and data.
available which can provide for up to four cameras’
video signals to be sent down one twisted pair cable.
This allows for a very cost effective CCTV cable
deployment. For even longer cable runs, powered (at
the receiver end), active baluns are available which can
extend the distance up to 915m (3000 ft).
Some balun systems provide controls to make
incremental adjustment of both gain and frequency
compensation to allow the system to be fine-tuned for
the twisted pair cable. Such features provide
adjustment for optimum performance over the entire
operating range and allow for cable length to be
estimated with a wide safety margin; when bidding for
CCTV twisted pair transmission jobs.
For camera systems requiring more complex controls
for PTZ and having inline power requirements, rather
than providing separate run cables to each camera for
this purpose, it is possible to satisfy this by utilising the
other available pairs of a UTP cable, thus reducing the
cable requirement.
Savings can be realised in lower labour and material
costs, smaller conduits, fewer cable pulls, common
media topology and easier retrofits using existing
cabling deployed for voice and data.
Structured cabling deployment of CCTV is preferred
by IT departments, who already have knowledge of
structured cabling technology compared to coax. This
results in less training and special tooling requirements.
Moves/Adds/Changes (MACs) are simplified due to the
decreased number of proprietary cables and cable pulls
needed in a CCTV solution.
Overall there is significantly less redundancy in
infrastructure investment as structured cabling
deployed for legacy surveillance systems can be later
utilised for newer IP based cameras, other IP based
security or control devices and traditional voice/data
applications.
Using structured cabling for security solutions also
provides opportunity to solve potential customer
problems with other KRONE products. For security
monitoring in industrial or hazardous environments,
KRONE’s IP67 Industrial Ethernet connectivity products
are an ideal way to prevent the ingress of moisture,
dust and other contaminants into the connection.
Indeed these products may also provide an ideal
solution for exterior mounted cameras and equipment.
Additionally for security equipment mounted up poles,
on roofs, etc which may potentially be exposed to
lightning hazards, KRONE Comprotect products may
assist in reducing overvoltage damage to expensive
surveillance equipment.
As security monitoring sites are in fixed locations,
the need for constant moves and changes is low,
hence Patch By Exception makes sense. Also, as
excellent connectivity transmission performance is
required for high picture quality, KRONE’s HIGHBAND
products are an ideal solution. Whilst HIGHBAND
might seem to be a premium offering, compared to
the cost of a coax based solution, a HIGHBAND
Category 6 solution would be more cost effective than
coax; particularly where many cameras are involved
over long runs.

endigo Bank had its origins on the Bendigo
goldfield in 1858 when the settlement was little
more than thousands of makeshift tents and humpies
clustered along the gold-bearing gullies. Disturbed by
the temporary and unsightly nature of these dwellings,
a group of prominent citizens banded together to
foster a sense of civic pride by providing finance for
miners wishing to own their own homes. Thus was
born the Bendigo Permanent Land and Building Society.
As Bendigo prospered, so did its building society,
declaring a profit in each year of its operation, even
through the crises of the 1890s and 1930s Depressions.
The Bendigo Bank Group now operates more than
260 branches across Australia, with a concentration in
Victoria and Queensland. Bendigo Bank boasts total
assets under management in excess of $12 billion and
is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange with more
than 43,000 shareholders. It is the only Australian bank
headquartered outside a capital city.
In 2003, as part of a major refurbishment project to
accommodate the growing needs of their Fountain
Court Head Office, Bendigo Bank was looking to
upgrade their current communications infrastructure.
Denis Kelly, Bendigo Bank’s IT Infrastructure Support
stated “We were looking to upgrade our current
system to deal with existing needs as well as possible
future projections. The KRONE HIGHBAND

25 solution
provided the capabilities we required including Gigabit

As a result of the planned upgrade, the installation of
a new structured cabling system was required to deliver
the voice and data services for the Fountain Court
premises. IPP Consulting Pty Ltd were commissioned to
help prepare the cabling specifications for the
installation in conjunction with Bendigo Bank’s IT
Department and KRONE representatives.
Using a tender process, Bendigo Bank selected
KRONE endorsed installer Bell Technology Services Pty

Denis Kelly stated “A thorough pre-
planning process was essential for a
project of this size. We divided the
upgrade into three manageable stages in
an effort to streamline installation and
minimise disruption to staff workflow and
productivity.”
Bell Technology Services will continue
to provide ongoing support for
the new Bendigo Bank system
by visiting the site at month
four, eight and twelve to
remove any Patch By Exception patching
undertaken and replace with hard wired
patching (including updating record
books).
To ensure the best possible return on
investment, Bendigo Bank insisted on a
system performance warranty period of 20
years from practical completion. All
workmanship and materials were also
required to be guaranteed for the same
duration of time. This included the complete
telecommunications cabling installation
against faulty installation workmanship,
manufacturer faulty materials and failure of
materials, with replacement of faulty
equipment at no cost.
Bendigo Bank has been extremely
happy to date with the KRONE product’s
performance, appearance and support. Mr

re-Terminated Optical Fibre (PTOF) cable is a faster,
more efficient, labour saving method of installing
optical fibre (OF) in areas such as data centres,
computer rooms, equipment rooms and anywhere in a
structured cabling system.
OF cabling is the preferred choice for inter-connection
between LAN nodes. Installation of OF on a site is
usually achieved by trained KRONE Master Installers
who have completed the KRONE Optical Fibre Course.
These skilled technicians can provide you with an
installation tailored specifically for your site. However,
you may not need a tailored solution. You may be able
to take advantage of pre-terminating the connectors
onto your OF before it leaves the KRONE factory. You
can then simply place them into position and plug in the
optical patch cords to complete the install.
OF is used for data transfer at
very high speeds. It is ideal for
areas requiring reliability with
no susceptibility to outside
influences like electrical power,
radiation sources, TV, radio,
microwave, radar, industrial
loads with inductive or
capacitive influences. There are now two methods of
installing OF Cabling.
Firstly, there is the traditional method of installing OF
cabling then terminating with either OF connectors and
polishing on site, or more commonly fusion splicing an
OF pig-tail onto the end of the OF cable. This traditional
method is ideal for installations where the exact cable
routing and locations of the FOBOTS are not decided
until the racks and equipment are installed.
Secondly, the new method of installing PTOF can be
used. The length of the required cable and core counts
is determined before hand by a simple calculation from
the drawings. KRONE will then create, polish and test
the pre-terminated length ready to be installed on site.

stablished in 1901, the High Court is the highest
court in the Australian judicial system. The High
Court is responsible for interpreting and applying the
law of Australia; deciding on cases of special federal
significance including challenges to the constitutional
validity of laws and to hear appeals, by special leave,
from Federal, State and Territory courts.
The actual High Court building itself is a National
Building and one of Canberra’s major tourist
attractions. Situated in the Parliamentary Triangle, on
the shores of Lake Burley Griffin between the National
Science and Technology Centre and the National
Gallery of Australia. The High Court building houses
three courtrooms, Justices’ chambers, and the Court’s
main registry, library, and corporate services facilities.
In August 2002, the High Court of Australia
undertook a thorough audit of their LAN cabling
system due to identified problems with the network.
These problems were directly and negatively impacting
on users. The report on the condition and performance
of the existing network highlighted a range of issues
with the most significant relating to the non-
compliance with published standards. The two key
areas of non-compliance were the termination points
and the lack of appropriate separation of power and
data. The High Court’s solution at this time had been a
mix of Category 5 and Category 5e with various
vendors and installers.
Resulting from the report, the High Court identified
a need to bring their IT communication system to the
forefront of technology and decided to upgrade the
existing cabling infrastructure of their voice and data
communications to a KRONE Category 6 cabling
system. This solution included a mix of Category 6
patch panels, KM8 surface mount outlets, KM8 flush
mount outlets, Category 6 fly leads and Premis

Category 6 cable.
Mr Tony Martin, Manager of Information
Technology for the High Court of Australia stated
“Specific outcomes were required by the High Court -
these related primarily to reliability, quality,
supportability and an effective lifecycle with the
associated return on investment. The Category 6
solution provided by KRONE addressed the longer-
term strategic needs of the Court whilst the warranty
provided the assurance to the Court of both the
quality and reliability we were seeking.”
The system is predominantly used by the High
Court’s judges; judge’s supporting personnel; and all
registry and administrative staff. This new structured
cabling system is expected to deliver efficiencies and
effectiveness in support.
The High Court undertook a Request for Tender (RFT)
to select a cabling contractor, sourcing a list of KRONE
Category 6 certified cabling companies to ensure delivery
of warranty. The successful installer was required to meet
certain criteria including: Government Endorsed Supplier,
KRONE 20/20 certified installer, with proven experience
on similar installations and the resources to undertake
such a complex and challenging project.
From this competitive process, Intravision was
contracted to deliver a structured Category 6
cabling system which met the High Court’s needs
and were asked to supply a detailed design of the
proposed installation.
