KRONE continues to improve customer focus and strengthen market share MANUFACTURER OF THE YEAR! KRONE celebrates local industry accolades By Trevor Kleinert, RCDD, National Sales Manager Premis NET , Manager Fibre Optics Division, KRONE Australia O n 18 May 2004, the KRONE Group became a part of ADC Telecommunications Inc. This was indeed a major milestone for two companies that have had a very similar history over the past 70 years or so. If the two founders of the companies, Gustav Krone and Ralph Allison, were alive today I suspect that they would be pleased, as they were both engineers who had a high expectation for quality, performance and value. Both were inventors who looked outside of the box to find solutions that satisfied and exceeded customers’ expectations. Let’s now use Jules Verne’s time machine to take a trip back through time and explore the history behind these two pioneering companies. Just like the movie, let’s start from today and work backwards BURSTING OF THE BUBBLE The last five years has been somewhat of a roller coaster for the industry and all its players. Both KRONE and ADC have ridden through the turmoil, first growing with the bubble and then coming to grips with the downturn. In recent times, focusing on their key customers and core business, and at the same time managing to provide leadership in the marketplace with such products as KRONE’s CopperTen ™ 10 Gigabit Ethernet solution, and ADC’s Fibre to the Home solution that is currently being deployed by operators in the U.S. DIGITAL REVOLUTION Setting our dial back to the beginning of the digital revolution, it is interesting to see that both companies played an integral part in their respective fields. ADC has been one of the leaders in the digital central office with fibre and copper digital cross connect systems. ADC played a significant part with new operators in the Australian market. Much of the optical distribution frame and digital cross connect installed during the 1990s period was supplied and installed by ADC. At the same time, KRONE supplied the majority of digital distribution frame equipment for the incumbent operator in Australia. In this digital age, both companies diversified from their traditional telco markets into other evolving digital markets such as the software and enterprise LAN networks. COMMUNICATIONS FOR EVERYONE Turning the clock back further to the 70s. This was an era when telephone and communications were changing from a luxury item for a few, to a household necessity for everyone. This was also a time when network expansion in the western world was at its peak. Both KRONE and ADC were there. KRONE had just invented the renowned LSA- PLUS ® module, and this product was fast providing the road to productivity gains for connecting the mass of cable needed for network growth in the era. At the same time, ADC had invented the Bantam Jack which in itself is an industry standard and has been used from carrier cross connect systems through to jackfields and patching in the broadcast industry. This was a period of expansion 4 \ NETWORKnews A SHARED HISTORY OF INNOVATION A historical correlation of two extraordinary network connectivity companies and their enduring ingenuity.

It was also a time when they ventured out beyond their traditional borders into the world markets and established their global footprint. BAKERLITE ERA We now wind back the dial to the Bakerlite Era. These were the days when connectors were built like battleships. Both KRONE and ADC were experts in the modern field of materials such as bakerlite plastics and solder connection technology. In the U.S., ADC was building jacks and jackfields for the audio and broadcast industry. Meanwhile, in Germany, KRONE was manufacturing solder blocks and bakerlite telephones for the German Bundespost. Both companies had reached a level of critical mass, where they had an established product line, sound engineering and a name in their respective markets. No doubt the founders of each company had a vision for the future whereby one day engineering materials would progress beyond the bounds of bakerlite. FOUNDING DAYS Now we go all the way back to the early 30s where we find two engineers, one in Berlin, Germany and one in Minnesota in the U.S. The furthermost thing in their minds would have been the fact that 70 years later the companies that they each founded would merge into a single world leading entity. No doubt they were both looking for a way to realise their dreams. They had both been drawn towards the market for electrical apparatus, as they believed that this was the way of the future. It is hard to say just what it was that led them to find their successful product starts, but suffice to say they were persistant and successful. As the wheel of time continues to turn we are facing yet another exciting era. It would be nice to have a time machine that looks forward, but alas, we can only look backwards and reflect on what was. But, what we can carry forward are the lessons from the past and the combined 145 years of the history and experience of the two companies founded by Gustav Krone and Ralph Allison, engineers and entrepeneurs extraordinaire! Q NETWORKnews \ 5 Above: ADC’s early manufacturing facility. Right: ADC’s very first product, the audio meter. Berlin 1930 Fa-Me-Ku ( a factory for metal and plastic) I n the last issue (June/July 2004) of Network News I outlined one of the future drivers for high speed, 10 Gigabit networking in the horizontal; Grid Computing. The grid computer environment however, may still be a few years away from mass acceptance and deployment by IT departments, so I believe it salient to discuss a technology which is readily available now and beyond the early adopter stage. I would restate however, that while technologies like Grid Computing maybe a few years off yet for many, if an investment in structured cabling solutions is being made now, it will probably be in place for at least the next five years and most likely up to ten; when technologies like Grid Computing will be mainstream. A branch of distributed computing however, that is now moving to extensive deployment within the IT department is the Storage Area Network, or SAN. Up until now, disk storage is predominately directly attached (DAS) to the server that requires the information from it to process. In this form the storage is held captive behind servers and is typically only accessible by the server that is attached to it. This means that the server and the applications that run on it determine the capacity and utilisation of the data stored on its attached storage subsystem. Invariably these days in a reasonable sized IT department there will be many servers performing different functions. Some servers will be approaching crisis with near full disks and other servers with plenty of available capacity for that server’s applications. The other important issue with respect to directly attached storage is reliability in regards to accessing the stored data. Disk drives are complex electromechanical devices built to very fine tolerances. They quite often fail. There is a whole science regarding the provisioning of redundant arrays of disks on servers to provide failover capability and good seek performance, this is called RAID. Depending on the RAID solution employed many disks can be duplicated on a single server in mirrored and striped configurations. This increases the number, cost and complexity of drives required for each server. Ultimately however, no matter what the level or types of RAID systems used, backups of data are still required to be taken of the data onto removeable media which can be taken offsite to guard against circumstances of total disk subsystem failure and site disaster recovery requirements. In a department which has multiple servers, this requires different backup scenarios and the handling and managing of large quantities of media of potentially many different 6 \ NETWORKnews THE NEED FOR SPEED:THE SAN Applications for 10 Gigabit UTP Technology By Rob Milne, Business Development Manager, KRONE Australia “Riding the IP wave of technology development and enhancements like the introduction of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, iSCSI provides a logical unified infrastructure development path for corporations and service providers alike.” - Adaptec. Server SCSI Discs Discs Discs Tape Tape Tape IP Network Clients Direct Attached Storage SCSI SCSI Server Server types. Indeed servers in a distributed computing environment may not be in one central location, but scattered across a campus environment. The whole backup process can be very resource intensive. In the new digital economy storage backup has become an increasingly difficult task. There are only 24 hours in a day and many of those hours are consumed with real-time transactions with the storage. This constant access to storage has reduced the amount of time a server can be off-line to do backups. Storage area networks address many of the challenges facing IT managers as the demands for storage capacity continue to grow exponentially. These challenges include how to deploy storage as efficiently as possible and how to centrally manage it, while providing the highest level of data availability. Through high-speed dedicated storage networks, the SAN aims to centralise all storage within the enterprise or data centre into a virtual pool. This virtual storage pool can then be provisioned to the server and application requiring the data. This centralised pool of storage resources offers high performance and is transparent to the host operating system. Storage Area Networks (SANs) are growing rapidly because they solve IT department problems. The SAN approach offers many storage management advantages, including the ability to: Q Do backups without the degradation of performance for network users Q Provide load balancing for each server resource requiring data Q Ease the growth and management of the shared storage pool Q Share backup devices Q Reduce downtime Q Manage computing resources separately from the storage resource Q Manage the storage resource easily and efficiently Up until early 2003, the advantages to be realised from a SAN implementation were limited to very large organisations as the network architecture behind the SAN was based on expensive, and storage protocol specific Fibre Channel technology. Concerns about interoperability, the cost of Fibre Channel SAN implementations, and the need for highly trained IT staff and specialised Fibre Channel network- management tools have spurred interest in the potential of IP-based storage networks, particularly with the emergence of 10 Gigabit Ethernet. In February 2003, the Internet Engineering Taskforce (IETF) ratified an important new standard called iSCSI. Considered one of the most crucial technologies to pave the way for speedier storage area network deployment, iSCSI is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage systems. iSCSI carries SCSI storage commands over IP to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to NETWORKnews \ 7 SAN Solution Storage Tape Backup Server Server Server Switches/ Hubbs Switches/ Hubbs 10Gb IP Network Clients manage storage over long distances. Now that IP networks are more commonplace, iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet. iSCSI is of course another technology that has come about as a result of IP convergence. Like other converged IP technologies the iSCSI protocol results in lower cost and ease of use as it takes advantage of the large installed Ethernet TCP/IP environment, including silicon, boards, switches, management software and trained technicians. Limited budgets have forced IT managers to do more with less. iSCSI SANs help IT managers meet their budgetary constraints by allowing them to add storage when needed without having to significantly increase resources to manage the storage. In addition, the flexibility to add storage on the fly eliminates the guesswork in deploying storage for anticipated growth and allows IT managers to fully utilise the storage investment. iSCSI SANs provide all the same benefits as any storage area network. This means that users can consolidate storage, configure storage logically rather than physically, backup storage with no LAN impact and add storage by simply plugging storage into the existing infrastructure. One of the biggest attractions of iSCSI is its promise of linking storage facilities over long distances. The expectation is that the technology will facilitate the rise of the SAN market by offering new capabilities and better performance of storage data transmission. Because iSCSI uses standard Ethernet switches and routers to move data and link storage facilities over any distance, companies won’t have to upgrade their infrastructure in order to implement iSCSI. By using the existing Ethernet infrastructure, iSCSI SANs eliminate the distance barrier from the application system to the storage. Eliminating distance barriers means that remote sites can be more seamlessly linked to the data centre. iSCSI SANs enable mission critical applications, disaster recovery through remote backup and restore allowing for business continuance. In addition, iSCSI SANs allow for data centres to be linked to each other and to mirror data across geographically disperse locations. As can be imagined storage access requires very large transfers of data quickly and reliably. Large volumes of data need to be moved across the network between SANs, applications and other computing resources with minimal latency. Critical to the success of iSCSI connected SANs is 10 Gigabit Ethernet which provides the necessary network links, reliability, and bandwidth for carrying large amounts of storage data over both LANs and WANs involving private and public IP networks covering varying distances. In the LAN, copper based 10 Gigabit Ethernet will provide the high speed transport medium to enable cost effective deployment whereas fibre based 10 Gigabit Ethernet will be the key enabler across the campus and the WAN. iSCSI is now mainstream technology with storage products available from all the major storage vendors like IBM ® , EMC, Hitachi and HP. Microsoft ® embraced the technology when it released iSCSI support software for Microsoft Windows ® client and server environments in June 2003 and provides iSCSI drivers for Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows XP Professional. All major networking vendors such as Cisco ® and Intel ® have IP switching and NIC products for iSCSI including Fibre Channel to iSCSI switches. The adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet will make high speed SANs truly viable and accelerate the growth of distributed computing architectures of which the SAN is an important piece. KRONE’s development of CopperTen ™ for 10 Gigabit Ethernet has paved the way for cost effective deployment of this important new technology onto copper based LANs. KRONE’s fibre based 10 Gigabit products facilitate the deployment of iSCSI beyond the copper based LAN. Q 8 \ NETWORKnews iSCSI SANs help IT managers meet their budgetary constraints by allowing them to add storage when needed without having to significantly increase resources to manage the storage. T he new KRONE Angled Patch Panel has been designed to provide ease of installation, superior Category 6 performance and is the perfect solution for network racks with limited space. SAVE TIME The angled panel improves the efficiency of 19” data cabinets, neatly directing patch cords to either side of the rack, preventing the occurrence of tangled cords and simplifying any adds, moves and changes. SAVE SPACE With patch cords now effectively directed to either side of the rack, horizontal cable managers become obsolete, creating space for additional panels and active equipment. Increased capacity saves valuable office space in building and floor distributor rooms. In fact, by using the new angled patch panel, you can fit twice as many panels in the one rack. The angled panel will sit flush with your current 19” rack equipment. Ideal for use with active equipment or existing panels, the angled panel can be easily retrofitted into most commercially available 19” cabinets. GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE Guaranteed to provide optimum performance, the Angled Panel has been engineered to exceed international Category 6 cabling standards. The angled design of the ports maintains the specified Category 6 bend radius of the patch cords, preventing possible signal failure caused by over bent patch cords. EASE OF INSTALLATION The innovative knife-edge pair separator on KRONE’s angled panel allows installers to leave cable pairs twisted at their original rate during installation. The knife-edge ensures each pair is secured into their respective positions without the need for untwisting. The clamping ribs then secure the wire in place before termination with the KRONE tool. Maintaining the minimum amount of untwist right up to the point of termination ensures that the transmission performance is not compromised. Not having to untwist each pair helps reduce the installation time and eliminates the need for an additional cable manager. ACCESSORIES PATCH CORD MANAGEMENT ARM Patch cord management arms can be fitted on both sides of the patch panel (replacing the panel end cap) to further reduce the possibility of tangled patch cords. 19” COVER LABEL This 19" cover hides patch cords and provides further labelling for two panels, so that, when patched, panels and port locations can be easily identified. The cover clips securely onto the cable managers without the need for any tools and can be easily removed when panel maintenance or patching is required. The KRONE Angled Patch Panel and accessories are now available. Call 1800 801 298 for ordering details. Q NETWORKnews \ 9 PRODUCT UPDATE Space-saving HIGHBAND ® Category 6 Angled Patch Panel By Daniel Jackson, Product Manager, KRONE Australia TRANSMIT AT 625 MHZ FOR 100 METRES KRONE, now part of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. has developed a new cabling technology that is far ahead of the defined Category 6 cable (specified to 250 MHz). KRONE cable, CopperTen, can transmit at 625 MHz, over 100 metres. How did they do it? They’ve done something innovative, by changing the design of the recognisable UTP cable, kept the termination issue at bay and retained the same jack footprint as the RJ-45! THE COPPERTEN UTP CABLE What problem does this new cable solve? Q It can support 10-Gigabit Ethernet transmission speeds for the full 100 metres. Q Because Category 5 and 6 will only be able to run 10-Gigabit Ethernet at 35 and 55 metres, the IEEE has already determined that neither are suitable solutions for the full 100 metres and that a new cabling standard must be developed. Q Limited frequency range Q Channel-to-channel cross talk Q High attenuation losses What is different about the CopperTen cable? Q It is specified to 625 MHz Q It dramatically reduces Alien Cross Talk (AXT) for both Near End and Far End Q Construction differences: -No two conductors can ever become parallel to each other –Pairs have higher twist rates than normal Category 6 cable -The cable is elliptical (oval) with a special ‘star’ divider -The cable is then twisted along its length What does this difference bring to the user? Q The copper cabling system has a guaranteed carrying capacity of 18-Gigabits over 100 metres. (The Shannon Capacity) Q Independent verification of the system’s performance Q A bandwidth specified through to 625 MHz (versus the previous 250 MHz for Category 6) Q Protection against alien crosstalk Q A passive infrastructure that exceeds critical capacity thresholds as proposed by various active equipment participants Q A choice when selecting between various passive infrastructures Q Usable for horizontal cabling and floor interconnect cabling Where is the work going on regarding copper UTP supporting 10 Gigabits? Q IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T Task Group) Q Look to later in 2004 for a possible new line code decision. The new line code (such as MLT-3) will allow the modulation of the energy to deliver recognisable (in packets) 1s and 0s. Q Equipment manufacturers should be developing 10-Gigabit active ports ovr the coming two years. What hardware is available? Q CMR-rated cable Q Patch cords (reliable) Q Jacks Q Patch panels How do you see this being justified for purchase? Q 10-Gigabit will be needed for future, higher bandwidth applications. Q It supports storage devices, server farms and can save $$$ versus fibre Why should I consider CopperTen for my infrastructure now? Q Since this solution exceeds capacity thresholds of various active equipment participants, this will ensure that you have a choice when selecting between various passive infrastructures. That’s the mantra we hear that is so important today, making sure people have a choice among products. This is a revolutionary cable and once you understand how it works and what it brings to the table, you may want it. Q Below is an example of the development of next generation cabling to handle active equipment as it evolved. Perhaps the migration to 10 Gigabit over UTP will be no different. There may be benefits to preparing for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, by upgrading an existing horizontal cabling system within the walls and ceilings of a building. 10 \ NETWORKnews CABLING STANDARDS UPDATE We answer your questions on CopperTen ™ .
