ADC KRONE invests in third party certification

A significant investment in testing has ensured that ADC KRONE has recently received third party test certificates from Delta and GHMT at a component level to add to those already received from ETL and UL.

The comprehensive list includes certificates for jacks, patch panels, outlets, cable and patch cords and these are available for downloading.

Whilst we, like many of our competitors have certificates of performance at a channel or permanent link level, this is no guarantee of component compliance. The only way that standards compliant performance can be fully assured is to build the channel out of component compliant products. All ADC KRONE products meet the necessary Category 5e, Category 6 and Category 6A Standards at a component level.

All the certificates received reflect the performance of the products being manufactured with ADC KRONE manufacturing facilities today and are not handcrafted 'lab produced' samples created specifically for a one off test. As part of the third party certification procedure, an auditing process is in place to ensure that the performance from products off the production line is tested at regular intervals.

The latest and most challenging devellopment are the cabling standards to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over Class EA Channel / Permanent Link based on Category 6A components.

The complete list of certificates have been issued against the current, most up to date version of the following standards:

• Channel (4 Connector)
• Permanent Link (3 Connector)
• Component
