Product
Berk-Tek Lanmark 10G
Comments
Horizontal
Cable
.295, smallest nominal diameter industry
wide.
+-
.350 largest diameter in the
industry, and allowed by
proposed standards.
Increased conduit and cable tray fi ll
ratios. Lowers the overall installed
cost.
Proprietary star fi ller, which provides best
alien cross talk characteristics.
+-
Spirally-wound spacing fi lament.
Improves headroom on PSANEXT
and PSAELFEXT. The most important
measurements for any Augmented
Category 6 solution.

Patch Cords
Utilizes ADC’s patented process which
yields the electrical performance of a
solid conductor and the mechanical
performance of a stranded conductor.
+-
Utilizes 26 AWG stranded
conductor with PVC insulation.
Smaller gage helps with some
Alien parameters, but cable will
not meet component standards
The weakest link in any channel is the
Patch Cord. Because only channel
requirements are defi ned – the
advantage goes to single solutions
providers.
Patch Panels
Offset jack postioning and a composite
frame reduces alien cross talk between
connectors.
++
Manufactured with Aluminum.
Metal can act as a waveguide
for Alien Cross Talk.
Both Products can fi t 24 Jacks into a 1
Rack Unit Space. Ortronics literature is
vague, no pictures available.

commonplace in data centers. Blocks
are ideal for cross connects.
Jacks
Each Modular Jack is LASER tuned,
to guarantee performance out to
500Mhz. LSA-PLUS® silver-plated 45°
angled contacts provide the most secure
connection. Can be terminated with a
KRONE or 110 tool.
+-
Modular Jack is PCB based.
110 style Phosphor Bronze with
nickel plating. Metallic rear
housing; front removable.
Ortronics literature is vague, no
pictures available.
Warranty
20-year product and performance
warranty, including a 5-year ZBE.
+-
