Technews Wired for better electrical performance Berk-Tek, a Nexans Company, New Holland, Pa., has redesigned the LANmark-1000, increasing all cross talk parameters by 4dB over the old design, which was exceeding component performance as specified by TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 Category 6. The improved LANmark-1000, which is the same size as its predecessor, is a result of both the re-engineering of the cable core design combined with investment in manufacturing equipment and new processes at the New Holland, Penn., facility. As a result, the Power Sum Attenuation to Crosstalk ratio (PSACR) was improved by 85% (at 250 MHZ) allowing for greater signal strength and less vulnerability to noise interference. This new design, which will sell for the same price as the previous one, features full power sum performance, documented balance characteristics and is ETL verified. The new LANmark provides optimal support for Gigabit Ethernet with headroom, and the addition of balance requirements, improve overall cable performance and reduces transmission errors. LANmark-1000 is part of the NetClear GT2 Enhanced Category 6 channel solution from Berk-Tek and Ortronics/Legrand. www.berktek.com MacGREGOR wins major offshore winch orders The MacGREGOR Group, Netherlands, won offshore deck machinery orders for 32 offshore supply vessels for Bourbon.
