JKS Systems Infrastructure Solutions- Fiber Optic and Structured Cabling

Hitachi Open System Architecture Solution

Whether you are installing the highest-performing Category copper cabling or fiber optic infrastructure, there are a number of well-known brands available to choose from. What makes one brand a wiser choice than another? Which one offers maximum performance, while also providing the best value?

Open System Architecture (OSA) from Hitachi Cable America (Hitachi) provides world class performance using virtually any combination of Hitachi verified cables with verified connective hardware in the design of the network. The ANSI/TIA-568-C.1 standard specifies the performance requirements of all network components and defines interoperability base-line limits to ensure that combinations of cable with connectivity will meet or exceed the system’s intended application. By employing a Hitachi OSA solution, end users have the freedom to choose from a wide range of quality connectivity products that best meet their specific needs and be confident that the chosen solution will support all applications designed to operate over that solution and be backed by an industry-leading lifetime warranty.

It’s all in the Cable

In virtually all cable based communication links, it is the cable that determines the ultimate performance of that link. It is the cable, not the connectors, that establishes how well the applications that run over it will be supported. This is the reason why many cable manufacturers make different performance levels of Category 6 cable while jack and plug manufacturers make only one jack or plug to mate to them. The desirable headroom that results from the link is provided by the cable. With a growing list of applications for Category 6, many of them critical to a facility’s operation, selecting a quality cable from an established manufacturer is recommended. Additionally, with an increase in counterfeit and unestablished brands flooding the market, protect your investment by sourcing only through trusted distribution channels.
