The Generic Cabling Systems forms your basis for a
future-oriented network.

All work areas are precabled so that a homogeneous interface is available at all connection points.  The transmission medium consists of twisted pair copper cables or fiber optic cables.

A Generic Cabling System can quickly be amortized, which makes a significant cost saving contribution.  All network equipment operating systems with different protocols can be integrated.

Based on class D, E, F or FO Link, data and voice applications as well as applications as well as applications for building service automation (broadband video) will all be supported.

Generic Cabling

The advantages are obvious:  

Today’s Generic Cabling Standards

If the recommendations of the standards are followed in the planning and implementations of Generic Cabling Systems, full compatibility with existing and future network equipment is assured.  They also define performance requirements of individual links.

Cabling standards

Status in December 1998: Category 5 was introduced four years ago for cables and connection modules.  Gigabit-Ethernet transmission by copper cables is on the starting blocks.  The existing cable network may not be sufficient to handle this four pair transmission mode.  Up to now, Ethernet and Fast-Ethernet were run on two pairs of category 5 cables.  The existing parameters were sufficient.  However, for Gigabit-Ethernet new parameters such as EL-FEXT, Delay-Skew etc. are needed.

These values will be incorporated into a newly revised version of Standards EN50173, ISO/IEC 11801 and EIA/TIA.  This will be the new Category 5 or Class D in terms of the transmission channel.

Existing “R&M FreeNet” components will easily attain this new Class 5 enhanced standard.  A reassuring feeling for all “R&M FreeNet” users.

No system dependence  

A generic cabling system us based on the “Open System Connectivity” concept and therefore supports hardware and protocols made by different suppliers.  A generic cabling system is the infrastructure for present and future networks.  

R&M FREENET - 
THE WHOLE RANGE FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

We are meeting the needs and requirements for a modern cabling infrastructure. Cabling Systems, their design and development is our business. R&M have focused on this market for more than 30 years.

We do the one thing - and we do it right.

New product developments have to fit in the modular system philosophy of the existing ones. Following this rule we can deliver well-tuned systems today with the capacity to grow as your cabling requirements grow.
