NordX Intros Ethernet Cables

BRACKNELL, U.K. -- NORDX/CDT Inc. (NYSE: CDT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cable Design Technologies (CDT) Corporation, is pleased to announce a new generation of optical fibre cables into our IBDN product range. This addition is part of the OM3 family of cables and is designed in order to answer the growing demand for 10-gigabit Ethernet applications. In order to develop NORDX/CDT's commitment to the European market place, these cables are manufactured locally, which will in turn improve our efficiency in the market place. As part of NORDX/CDT's philosophy to be a world leader in the manufacture of end-to-end structured cabling systems, this development will improve our delivery schedules and our levels of customer service. All stages of the production of the OM3 cable are monitored and every fibre is tested to recognised international fibre standards and in full accordance with ISO 9001:2000. "The key element of our new fibre range is the efficiency of the manufacturing process, together with using the latest fibre technology" explains Graham Boret, NORDX/CDT's Operations Director. "The major consideration when designing and installing a new installation is to ensure that the system is future proofed. OM3 fibre ensures the most cost effective upgrade path for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The advancement in electronics, and the cost reductions that are currently being seen, will certainly enable 10 Gigabit to be a viable option, and we can clearly see 1 Gibabit being required to the desk. It is inevitable that 10 Gigabit will be required in the backbone, and NORDX/CDT have the solution today". This new 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable is another example of NORDX/CDT's goal to continue to provide technologically advanced products and state-of-the-art cabling systems and to lead the industry in cable design and manufacturing.
