For more than 100 years, NORDX/CDT has been a
leader in the design, development and manufacturing of cabling products
and structured cabling systems.
All of our products are designed and manufactured
under the most stringent quality guidelines in ISO-9001 certified facilities.
Every year, NORDX/CDT invests substantially in Research and Development
programs to ensure that we remain at the forefront of our industry with
technologically advanced products, allowing us to continuously provide
the most state-of-the-art systems available.
NORDX/CDT has long been influential in the cabling
industry. Several of our employees are currently leading authorities
within the TIA/EIA, as well as other respected standard-setting bodies.
In 1986, NORDX/CDT was the first to introduce the concept of structured
cabling. And in 1991, our company proposed performance specifications
for Categories 3, 4 and 5 cables that were eventually adopted by the
TIA. NORDX/CDT was also the first company to market an end-to-end Category
5 structured cabling system. With the introduction of the IBDN Gigabit
Cabling Solutions, and more recently the IBDN System 4800LX, NORDX/CDT
has once again proven itself as the leader in cabling systems.

IBDN represents a NORDX/CDT manufactured, end-to-end structured cabling
system that is designed to perform well above the standards. IBDN provides
for application independence, multiple logical topologies and easy moves,
adds and changes. In other words, installing an IBDN system allows you
to build an information infrastructure that will evolve with the changes
in your organization, as well as innovations in technology, to constantly
keep your work environment competitive. All IBDN systems are intentionally
designed with abundant built-in performance margin; headroom to ensure
that your investment is well protected for the future.
Your channel performance is dependent on component interaction and
is only as strong as its weakest link. Mismatched components may not
have been a serious issue in many 10 Mb/s or even 100 Mb/s transmission
environments, but with gigabit networking, your system is much more
sensitive to impedance mismatch and stability which can disrupt data
transmission. NORDX/CDT provides a complete range of cabling components
of superior quality and design that have been tested together as a system.
You can mix and match IBDN products to suit your unique design and still
be assured that you have a fully integrated system that will optimize
your IT strategy.

NORDX/CDT recognizes that since standards are continuously moving targets,
it is absolutely necessary to invest in a system whose components are
compatible with already existing infrastructures.
The TIA/EIA recently issued a mandate calling for the upcoming Category
6 technology to include performance criteria ensuring backwards compatibility,
meaning that mating a Category 6 plug with a Category 5e cord will at
least give a Category 5e performance. If components are not designed
to meet the backwards compatibility requirement, the use of advanced
cabling alongside an existing range of lower category cabling products
could actually degrade system performance as a whole.
All IBDN systems are designed to be completely backwards compatible
to ensure optimal performance without rendering your initial investment
obsolete. By choosing one of the IBDN Gigabit Systems offered by NORDX/CDT,
optimal performance of your IT strategy is complemented by a guarantee
that your existing investment will not be compromised.

Your cabling system forms the critical foundation of your IT strategy;
as one of the pioneers of structured cabling system concepts and standards,
NORDX/CDT understands the key role that cabling plays in your networking
systems. As a result, NORDX/CDT has always followed a philosophy of
providing advanced cabling systems that significantly exceed the performance
needs, and standards requirements of today in anticipation of the inevitable
increased demands of tomorrow. IBDN is the cabling infrastructure that
will optimize your IT strategy for today, tomorrow and for "What's Coming
Next".

NORDX/CDT was the first manufacturer to develop and introduce the concept
of Certification for structured cabling systems. The objective of the
program is to facilitate the customer's purchasing decisions by providing
no-nonsense warranties that guarantee system performance and product
quality. Today, more than 10,000 IBDN Certified Systems have been installed
worldwide, supporting the critical networking needs of thousands of
companies and millions of users every day.
NORDX/CDT's Certification Program for IBDN Structured Cabling Systems
surpasses conventional product warranties by adding important new guarantees
that include end-to-end system performance and full compliance with
cabling industry standards specifications.
Every IBDN Certified Strucured Cabling System is supported by the
industry's strongest warranty program including: 25-Year Component Warranty.
Should any IBDN component fail due to defects in materials, design or
workmanship, NORDX/CDT and your Certified System Vendor (CSV) will repair
or replace the component, including labour, at no cost to the customer.
