10 Gigabit Structured Cabling
ADC CopperTen™ +/- +/- Belding IBDN Product Comments
Cable Construction .295” nominal OD + - 315 nominal OP Better fi ll ratios and smaller cable
bundles with ADC’s design
Patch Cord Construction True UTP construction + - Uses an un-grounded screened patch cord.
It has been demonstrated that ungrounded screens and shields
do more harm than good in real networks
Patch Cord Wire Type 24 AWG Stranded + - 23 AWG Solid Connector ADC design is more fl exible and
reliable than solid conductor designs
Contact Plating Gold (50 microinches) + + Gold (50 microinches)
IDC Reterminations 200+ reterminations on all connections. + - 20 reterminations ADC jacks can be terminated up to
1000 times
Contact
Patented 45-degree angle Retains wire
by 3-point unique axial and torsional forces for better connectivity
-Simple split beam Retains wire
by only one set of axial forces
IDC’s are at 90-degree angles to reduce Alien NEXT, but makes it diffi cult to terminate
Contact design is why ADC is the industry standard in over 80 countries throughout the world
IDC Contact
This allows ADC to be used in humid
or otherwise harsh environments without gel or other modifi cations
Spring Contact Plating Gold (50 microinches) + - Gold (50 microinches)
Belden 10G jack uses a PCB instead
of springs, making their connection less reliable

ADC CopperTen™ +/- +/- Belding IBDN Product Comments
Double Punching
Two per termination point of same gauge (22 to 26 AWG) + - No Allows easy looping of stations for
applications such as Local Talk
IDC Contact Oxidation
Does not corrode Silver tarnish is highly conductive + - Will tarnish, which is non-conductive Additionally, tarnish is soft and will wipe off when wire is inserted.
Wire Gauges
wider range of wire gauges
Connectors and Stranded Wires
Most stranded wire accepted + - N/A
This allows ADC to terminate shielded cables effectively (Can punch down drain wires)
Contact Memory
Can reliably terminate 26 AWG following
a 22 AWG termination +
-Cannot reterminate a smaller wire down on a previously used termination point (i.e 22 AWG
to 26 AWG)
ADC contact allows greater longevity and fl exibility
Zero Bit-Error Warranty Yes, ADC invented the technology. + - N/A
Critical to ensuring no errors are placed on the network as a result
of the cabling system (the result of cable and connectors being designed together)
