Introduction
True Performance
With TrueNet, you can push networks to the performance edge. Innovative products that exceed
industry standards support advanced applications such as 10GigE over UTP, VoIP, and Wi-Fi today and
tomorrow. Building upon a high-performance TrueNet infrastructure foundation, network managers and
designers are assured a flexible evolution path to next-generation technologies and services.

A Tradition of Innovation
With thousands of patents worldwide, ADC continually invests in innovation to support emerging
technologies and to enhance our customers’ network operations. In fiscal 2000 to 2003, ADC invested
approximately 13% of net sales to fuel research and development.
For example, ADC’s innovative CopperTen
™
solution is the world’s first Augmented Category 6 system
to deliver all internal requirements of Category 6 while achieving 18 Gb/s capacity as measured
by Shannon’s Law with extended frequencies up to 625MHz. To achieve these high-performance
specifications, CopperTen incorporates patent-pending features including a unique oblique filler that
minimizes alien crosstalk (interference from adjacent cables).
The company’s patent-pending AirES
®
technology is a critical element in the TrueNet CopperTen,
Category 6, and Category 5e solutions and results in the first and only cable design to increase
signal speed and strength while simultaneously minimizing crosstalk. AirES technology utilizes air as a
conductor insulator, eliminating the bulky fillers and extra bonding that increase cable weight, reduce
flexibility, and require extra space.
Setting the Standards
ADC’s TrueNet solutions meet or exceed all major cabling standards. We are actively establishing and
advocating next-generation technologies and standards worldwide through work with these leading
industry organizations:
TIA: Telecommunications Industry Association
EIA: Electronic Industries Alliance
IEEE: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
BICSI: Building Industry Consulting Service International
MEF: Metro Ethernet Forum
ISO: International Organization for Standardization
IEC: International Electrotechnical Commission
ANSI: American National Standards Institute

Training and Certification
Studies show that over 70% of network downtime can be directly attributed to physical layer problems,
specifically cabling faults. ADC recognizes that proper installation of structured cabling solutions is a
critical success factor for high-performance networks. ADC’s network of more than 400 TrueNet System
Certified contractors and installers undergoes annual extensive training to ensure that TrueNet system
installations meet the most stringent industry standards.

True Reliability
Mission-critical networks rely upon trusted TrueNet infrastructure. Built and tested in ADC’s world-class
facilities, TrueNet is backed by the industry’s only true Zero Bit-Error Warranty that guarantees signal
integrity and throughput.
World-Class Manufacturing Expertise
ADC is committed to consistently delivering the highest possible quality in all that we do. A registered
TL9000 and ISO9000:2000 manufacturer, ADC is certified in 21 categories—the largest number of
registrations of any ISO-certified company. Additionally, ADC facilities are approved to self-certify
products for compliance with UL Safety Standards.
A best-in-class manufacturer, ADC operates more than 385,000 square feet of manufacturing space
in the Americas.
Backed by the TrueNet Warranty
ADC’s TrueNet system is backed by an industry-leading warranty that not only addresses physical

component performance, but also data throughput. Cable and connectivity solutions are tuned to
eliminate impedance mismatches to standards five times more rigorous than industry specifications.
As a result, TrueNet optimizes network speed by eliminating data retransmissions.
The TrueNet warranty covers all aspects of the structured cabling system for horizontal and backbone
networks that support voice and data. A 20-year all-inclusive industry standards compliance warranty
addresses all parts, labor, and technical support. And for certain TrueNet product categories, an
additional 5-year throughput warranty guarantees zero bit-error rate performance throughout the
structured cabling channel.
