In a year that was another difficult one for our

industry, KRONE has strengthened its position as

market leader with the introduction of our new

HIGHBAND®25 product portfolio and the opening of

our North Queensland Sales Office We also took the

opportunity to expand our technical sales team in

existing markets The delivery of specialist technical

presentations, training courses and our pre and post

sales service were, no doubt, major factors of our

success in 2003

Independent market research has shown that KRONE

increased its market share in 2003 This can be directly

attributed to our growing presence in the marketplace

along with the innovation of the HIGHBAND 25

products KRONE was successful in securing many large

projects, including Bovis Lend Lease, CGU and Bendigo

Bank We were also successful in winning a high

number of medium size projects including our own

local Gosford and Wyong Hospitals

Our new North Queensland Office has produced

some great results In particular, the sales of fibre optic

cable manufactured locally at KRONE’s Australian fibre

optic manufacturing facility

As we move into 2004, with what I believe to be a

stronger and more enthusiastic team than ever before,

and the release of new products, particularly our Punch Down Category 6 Jack, it is hoped that KRONE will further cement its position as Australia’s number one structured cabling provider

With the launch of a KRONE Consultant Forum late

in 2003 and plans to extend our sales team in a market that now appears somewhat stable and moving forward compared to other years, 2004 could be our biggest PremisNET® year on record, surpassing our success in 2003

KRONE will continue to focus heavily on the corporate market with our Category 6 HIGHBAND 25 product as well as continuing to penetrate the fibre optic world with our locally manufactured KRONE products

The first quarter of 2004 will see the finalisation of our installer agreements resulting from our revamped warranty program Also in this quarter, KRONE will conduct a national road show targeted at distributors, end users, consultants and installers displaying our new products and technical capabilities

On behalf of KRONE Australia management and our sales team, I wish to thank all our loyal customers for their continued support and look forward to an

THE YEAR THAT WAS

AND THE YEAR THAT WILL BE

A look back at the successes of 2003, plus a preview of what’s in-store

for 2004!

By Trevor Kleinert, RCDD, National Sales Manager PremisNET, Manager Fibre Optics Division, KRONE Australia

Atechnology breakthrough was revealed

at the recent IEEE 10 Gigabit/s Ethernet

standard working group meeting KRONE

demonstrated the world’s first augmented

Category 6 cable with the necessary

characteristics to enable 10 Gigabit/s

Ethernet to be implemented over

unshielded twisted pair (UTP) to the full

100 metres required for structured cabling

systems

The test results on the new cable were

independently confirmed by a leading

Ethernet electronics vendor involved in the

development of 10 Gigabit/s technology and the 10GBASE-T Ethernet standard

Presenting the results, KRONE’s Senior Project Manager Bernie Hammond said,

“Our presentation to the IEEE today shows that KRONE has demonstrated its ability to produce a UTP cable that exceeds the requirements outline to run 10 Gigabit/s Ethernet over a 100-metre, unshielded twisted-pair copper channel.” Most industry experts had concluded that it would be extremely difficult to overcome the technical combination of insertion loss

and alien crosstalk, or interference from adjacent cables, with UTP cable - the most prolific type of enterprise networking cable

in the world

“By demonstrating that 10 Gigabit Ethernet can be achieved over UTP cabling, our engineers have once again demonstrated KRONE’s unmatched commitment to technological innovation,” said KRONE’s President and Chief Operating Officer Ron Lowy “We are delighted to be the first in the world to reach this remarkable

Advances in technology now provide opportunities for KRONE structured cabling products in solutions outside of the traditional voice and data The Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and security market, previously dominated through the use of coaxial cabling, can now

be provided for by using far more cost effective structured cabling solutions

Post 9/11 there has been a dramatic increase in the requirement for cost effective video surveillance and security monitoring Fuelled by this demand has been the development of a number of technologies to reduce the cost of implementing what was previously a large investment in both the active devices involved and the passive infrastructure supporting them

As a result of this requirement and other circumstances, coupled with the ongoing march of IP convergence, the outcome has been the development

of the so called 4th generation video surveillance comprising IP multicasting, Digital to Digital, pure IP based video systems These solutions provide digital communication based on TCP/IP for high quality, full motion real-time video on standard IP networks over Category 5/6 structured cabling, fibre optic, or copper based xDSL, PSTN or ISDN services for wide area, broadband access

Key to 4th generation video surveillance has been the development of an IP based “Smartcam” which can provide for both a viewing and control capability on the web based HTTP protocol IP multicast capability provides for viewing and recording of security footage

by multiple clients simultaneously and securely Lower cost, low voltage smartcams enable video surveillance

to be employed at remote locations, industrial environments, on board moving vehicles, or for temporary staged, or seasonal installations such as

events, concerts etc Indeed conversion devices are also available which can IP enable legacy, analogue based CCTV cameras connected in situ by a short length of coax cable at one end and a Category 5/6 at the other This can provide for most of the benefits of a 4th generation video solution to legacy camera systems

As an alternative to IP camera based systems, for legacy, non-IP CCTV systems or those requiring high resolution/high frame rate monitoring systems for highly secure, realtime environments like banks, casinos, etc has been the development of “CCTP” or CCTV over twisted pair CCTV, up until now, was reticulated through 75 ohm coaxial cabling (typically RG-6) Through development in balun technologies, it

is possible to incorporate CCTV signals into structured cabling systems To apply structured cabling connectivity to CCTV, a reliable way is needed to adapt the video signal to the twisted-pair cable The CCTV balun is key to this conversion The CCTV balun is a passive element that converts the unbalanced signal of the coaxial cable to the balanced signal of the twisted-pair The balun must preserve a clear image quality over the distance of a cable by providing immunity from ground loop, hum and noise so as to produce maximum video quality with minimum loss The twisted-pair cable has more signal attenuation than the coaxial cable, hence the main factor necessary to determine the maximum attainable distance is the signal attenuation along the twisted-pair cable A higher performance category of cable means less attenuation, ie Category 6 is better than Category 5 Video or CCTV baluns are transmission devices that provide a low cost means of sending live video over unshielded twisted pair, point-to-point wiring for distances of up to 305m (1000 ft) The video baluns are compatible with all coax control systems A basic system consists of one unit at each end of a twisted pair

of wires The video baluns are intended for use over Category 5 structured cabling runs or higher, to provide

a convenient, cost-effective alternative to coax Most available baluns are designed to provide immunity from noise and interference, even when running next to line power As only one pair of wires is required for the video signal, for simpler, fixed cameras not requiring Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) active control, combined baluns are

COST EFFECTIVE CCTV

A new generation of security solutions has been born!

it is now possible to dramatically reduce the cost of

costs, smaller conduits, fewer cable pulls, common

available which can provide for up to four cameras’

video signals to be sent down one twisted pair cable

This allows for a very cost effective CCTV cable

deployment For even longer cable runs, powered (at

the receiver end), active baluns are available which can

extend the distance up to 915m (3000 ft)

Some balun systems provide controls to make

incremental adjustment of both gain and frequency

compensation to allow the system to be fine-tuned for

the twisted pair cable Such features provide

adjustment for optimum performance over the entire

operating range and allow for cable length to be

estimated with a wide safety margin; when bidding for

CCTV twisted pair transmission jobs

For camera systems requiring more complex controls

for PTZ and having inline power requirements, rather

than providing separate run cables to each camera for

this purpose, it is possible to satisfy this by utilising the

other available pairs of a UTP cable, thus reducing the

cable requirement

Savings can be realised in lower labour and material

costs, smaller conduits, fewer cable pulls, common

media topology and easier retrofits using existing

cabling deployed for voice and data

Structured cabling deployment of CCTV is preferred

by IT departments, who already have knowledge of

structured cabling technology compared to coax This

results in less training and special tooling requirements

Moves/Adds/Changes (MACs) are simplified due to the

decreased number of proprietary cables and cable pulls

needed in a CCTV solution

Overall there is significantly less redundancy in

infrastructure investment as structured cabling

deployed for legacy surveillance systems can be later

utilised for newer IP based cameras, other IP based

security or control devices and traditional voice/data applications

Using structured cabling for security solutions also provides opportunity to solve potential customer problems with other KRONE products For security monitoring in industrial or hazardous environments, KRONE’s IP67 Industrial Ethernet connectivity products are an ideal way to prevent the ingress of moisture, dust and other contaminants into the connection

Indeed these products may also provide an ideal solution for exterior mounted cameras and equipment

Additionally for security equipment mounted up poles,

on roofs, etc which may potentially be exposed to lightning hazards, KRONE Comprotect products may assist in reducing overvoltage damage to expensive surveillance equipment

As security monitoring sites are in fixed locations, the need for constant moves and changes is low, hence Patch By Exception makes sense Also, as excellent connectivity transmission performance is required for high picture quality, KRONE’s HIGHBAND products are an ideal solution Whilst HIGHBAND might seem to be a premium offering, compared to the cost of a coax based solution, a HIGHBAND Category 6 solution would be more cost effective than coax; particularly where many cameras are involved

As excellent connectivity

transmission performance is

required for high picture quality,

KRONE's HIGHBAND products are

an ideal solution

Bendigo Bank had its origins on the Bendigo goldfield in 1858 when the settlement was little more than thousands of makeshift tents and humpies clustered along the gold-bearing gullies Disturbed by the temporary and unsightly nature of these dwellings,

a group of prominent citizens banded together to foster a sense of civic pride by providing finance for miners wishing to own their own homes Thus was born the Bendigo Permanent Land and Building Society

As Bendigo prospered, so did its building society, declaring a profit in each year of its operation, even through the crises of the 1890s and 1930s Depressions

The Bendigo Bank Group now operates more than

260 branches across Australia, with a concentration in Victoria and Queensland Bendigo Bank boasts total assets under management in excess of $12 billion and

is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange with more than 43,000 shareholders It is the only Australian bank headquartered outside a capital city

In 2003, as part of a major refurbishment project to accommodate the growing needs of their Fountain Court Head Office, Bendigo Bank was looking to upgrade their current communications infrastructure

Denis Kelly, Bendigo Bank’s IT Infrastructure Support stated “We were looking to upgrade our current system to deal with existing needs as well as possible future projections The KRONE HIGHBAND®25 solution provided the capabilities we required including Gigabit performance, VoiP ready and controlled patching.”

As a result of the planned upgrade, the installation of

a new structured cabling system was required to deliver the voice and data services for the Fountain Court premises IPP Consulting Pty Ltd were commissioned to help prepare the cabling specifications for the installation in conjunction with Bendigo Bank’s IT Department and KRONE representatives

Using a tender process, Bendigo Bank selected KRONE endorsed installer Bell Technology Services Pty Ltd to undertake the cabling component of the project

As part of the contract Bell Technology Services were responsible for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, testing, placing into service and

The cable installation commenced in

late June 2003 and comprised of

approximately 680 outlets As existing

workstations were removed and new

hardware installed, Bells Technology

Services followed closely behind to fit off

the cabling In most instances, this part of

the project was carried out after hours in

order to lessen any interruption to the

daily operations

Project works included modifications to the building

distributor to cater for new voice

backbone cables, voice backbone cabling,

flyleads at the telecommunications

outlets, all additional penetrations

through core structure and associated fire

stopping, testing, commissioning and

preventative maintenance of the complete

telecommunications cabling system, and

certification of telecommunications

cabling system

Denis Kelly stated “A thorough

pre-planning process was essential for a

project of this size We divided the

upgrade into three manageable stages in

an effort to streamline installation and

minimise disruption to staff workflow and

productivity.”

Bell Technology Services will continue

to provide ongoing support for the new Bendigo Bank system

by visiting the site at month four, eight and twelve to remove any Patch By Exception patching undertaken and replace with hard wired patching (including updating record books)

To ensure the best possible return on investment, Bendigo Bank insisted on a system performance warranty period of 20 years from practical completion All workmanship and materials were also required to be guaranteed for the same duration of time This included the complete telecommunications cabling installation against faulty installation workmanship, manufacturer faulty materials and failure of materials, with replacement of faulty equipment at no cost

Bendigo Bank has been extremely happy to date with the KRONE product’s performance, appearance and support Mr Kelly stated that Bendigo Bank had been particularly impressed by the neat, manageable, practical system provided by the HIGHBAND 25 solution

Bendigo Bank have a wide network of offices and branches throughout Australia and are now looking at the pair managed HIGHBAND 25 product for a new building

on the Docklands Melbourne site as well

as the possible upgrade of their Regional Office in Ipswich Queensland Q

Pre-Terminated Optical Fibre (PTOF) cable is a faster, more efficient, labour saving method of installing optical fibre (OF) in areas such as data centres, computer rooms, equipment rooms and anywhere in a structured cabling system

OF cabling is the preferred choice for inter-connection between LAN nodes Installation of OF on a site is usually achieved by trained KRONE Master Installers who have completed the KRONE Optical Fibre Course

These skilled technicians can provide you with an installation tailored specifically for your site However, you may not need a tailored solution You may be able

to take advantage of pre-terminating the connectors onto your OF before it leaves the KRONE factory You can then simply place them into position and plug in the optical patch cords to complete the install

OF is used for data transfer at very high speeds It is ideal for areas requiring reliability with

no susceptibility to outside influences like electrical power, radiation sources, TV, radio, microwave, radar, industrial loads with inductive or

capacitive influences There are now two methods of installing OF Cabling

Firstly, there is the traditional method of installing OF cabling then terminating with either OF connectors and polishing on site, or more commonly fusion splicing an

OF pig-tail onto the end of the OF cable This traditional method is ideal for installations where the exact cable routing and locations of the FOBOTS are not decided until the racks and equipment are installed

Secondly, the new method of installing PTOF can be used The length of the required cable and core counts

is determined before hand by a simple calculation from the drawings KRONE will then create, polish and test the pre-terminated length ready to be installed on site

PTOF IS MADE IN THE CLIENTS’ CHOICE OF:

CONNECTORS

QSC or SC/APC

QST

QOthers by arrangement

LENGTH

QAny length from 10m to 300m

WHY USE PTOF?

Simply put, KRONE PTOF saves you time and money!

There is a price advantage in being able to bundle the OF cable and connectors KRONE removes the risk

to you by ensuring all PTOF cables are terminated correctly and tested before they leave the factory The

PTOF cables are then coiled (for short lengths) or wound onto drums (for longer

lengths) ready for delivery

On site, all PTOF arrive with a protective clear tubing over the one metre of bare

terminated cores providing mechanical protection while still being flexible The

Kevlar tensile strength yarn is coiled at the ends of the PTOF ready for use if the

cable is to be attached to a pulling cord However, it is more usual that these

shorter run cables are placed onto the pathways by hand If requested, PTOF

cables can be fitted with cable glands ready for attachment onto FOBOTS This

means that the cables can be easily installed and placed into the OF trays

Established in 1901, the High Court is the highest court in the Australian judicial system The High Court is responsible for interpreting and applying the law of Australia; deciding on cases of special federal significance including challenges to the constitutional validity of laws and to hear appeals, by special leave, from Federal, State and Territory courts

The actual High Court building itself is a National Building and one of Canberra’s major tourist attractions Situated in the Parliamentary Triangle, on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin between the National Science and Technology Centre and the National Gallery of Australia The High Court building houses three courtrooms, Justices’ chambers, and the Court’s main registry, library, and corporate services facilities

In August 2002, the High Court of Australia undertook a thorough audit of their LAN cabling system due to identified problems with the network

These problems were directly and negatively impacting

on users The report on the condition and performance

of the existing network highlighted a range of issues with the most significant relating to the non-compliance with published standards The two key areas of non-compliance were the termination points and the lack of appropriate separation of power and data The High Court’s solution at this time had been a mix of Category 5 and Category 5e with various vendors and installers

Resulting from the report, the High Court identified

a need to bring their IT communication system to the forefront of technology and decided to upgrade the existing cabling infrastructure of their voice and data

communications to a KRONE Category 6 cabling system This solution included a mix of Category 6 patch panels, KM8 surface mount outlets, KM8 flush mount outlets, Category 6 fly leads and PremisNET®

Category 6 cable

Mr Tony Martin, Manager of Information Technology for the High Court of Australia stated

“Specific outcomes were required by the High Court -these related primarily to reliability, quality, supportability and an effective lifecycle with the associated return on investment The Category 6 solution provided by KRONE addressed the longer-term strategic needs of the Court whilst the warranty provided the assurance to the Court of both the quality and reliability we were seeking.”

The system is predominantly used by the High Court’s judges; judge’s supporting personnel; and all registry and administrative staff This new structured cabling system is expected to deliver efficiencies and effectiveness in support

The High Court undertook a Request for Tender (RFT)

to select a cabling contractor, sourcing a list of KRONE Category 6 certified cabling companies to ensure delivery

of warranty The successful installer was required to meet certain criteria including: Government Endorsed Supplier, KRONE 20/20 certified installer, with proven experience

on similar installations and the resources to undertake such a complex and challenging project

From this competitive process, Intravision was contracted to deliver a structured Category 6 cabling system which met the High Court’s needs and were asked to supply a detailed design of the proposed installation
