Siemon expands UltraMAX with new products

Siemon, a global leader in network infrastructure solutions, has announced the expansion of its UltraMAXTM copper connectivity system with innovative new products designed to enhance network performance and versatility

Following the successful initial launch of UltraMAX, the latest additions include UltraMAX 48-port patch panels in 1U flat and angled configurations, the UltraMAX Turbo Tool, and pre-terminated copper trunk cables. These new products promise to deliver exceptional connectivity and streamline the installation process.

UltraMAX is designed to surpass conventional limitations, boosting the performance of category 5e, 6, and 6A UTP systems. Combining ease of use, high quality, and top-tier performance within a sleek, modern design, UltraMAX meets today’s dynamic networking requirements. The system includes a comprehensive range of outlets, patch panels, and termination tools, allowing users to design, configure, and implement category 5e, 6, and 6A UTP network deployments with maximum flexibility. Featuring Siemon’s innovative linear punch-down technology, UltraMAX outlets guide and verify proper conductor placement, ensuring fast and easy terminations for users of all skill levels. This results in superior, consistent, and reliable terminations, reducing installation time and eliminating costly reworks.

The new UltraMAX 48-port patch panels are expertly engineered to maximise space and efficiency. Available in both flat and angled configurations, these panels allow users to optimise rack space while meeting stringent Category 6A Alien Crosstalk requirements. Constructed from high-strength steel with a scratch-resistant finish, these panels provide a durable foundation for critical network connections. Designed for significant space efficiency, they offer 48 ports in just 1U, minimising rack space usage while upholding strict Category 6A Alien Crosstalk standards. Features such as customisable labels, color-coded icons, and a magnified label holder simplify port identification and management. Removable rear cable managers help maintain organised cabling and optimal performance. These panels are available as empty, kitted, or pre-loaded with outlets.

The UltraMAX Turbo Tool is designed for user-friendly efficiency, drastically reducing termination time for category 5e, 6, and 6A UTP UltraMAX outlets. Unlike traditional single-conductor punch-down tools, the Turbo Tool terminates all 8 conductors in a single action, enhancing productivity and ensuring reliable high-performance connections. It features a rotatable tool head for flexible cable entry and compliance with bend radius requirements. Constructed from 16-gauge steel and high-impact resistant plastics, the tool is built to withstand job site conditions. Its ergonomic design includes a spring-loaded handle for comfortable one-handed operation, accelerating termination time by 15 percent compared to traditional tools. The integrated safety latch secures the handles for safe storage, and the replaceable cutting die extends the tool’s lifespan, ensuring flawless terminations across all category 5e, 6, and 6A UTP UltraMAX outlets. The tool supports terminations for UltraMAX hybrid, keystone, and panel-style outlets.

"UltraMAX signifies Siemon’s commitment to advancing copper connectivity solutions”, commented Kevin Stronkowsky, Siemon’s global copper product manager. "The expansion of UltraMAX with these new products underscores our dedication to innovation, providing intuitive, high-quality solutions that meet evolving customer needs. UltraMAX Reloaded introduces a new standard of efficiency and performance to UTP systems, enabling our clients to deploy networks swiftly and reliably."
