IBDN 110 Cross-Connect System
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
& VERSA TILITY
Ready For Next-Generation Networks
NORDX/CDT’s 110-type connectivity
components offer substantially improved
performance over conventional Categor y 5
products. For instance,Near End Cross-
Talk (NEXT) interference is measured at
44.3 dB pair-to-pair and 41.1 dB Power
Sum. That’s 4.3 dB better than today’s
Category 5 standard specification. In fact,
all performance parameters,including
Attenuation,Return Loss and Balance
greatly exceed the existing TIA/EIA
Category 5 standard and will meet the
anticipated TIA/EIA standard release
for Enhanced Categor y 5
connectivity.
FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN
Regardless of your installation
environment,IBDN 110 connectivity is the
right installation choice. With it’s wide
range of configuration options and many
management accessories,the IBDN 110
cross-connect system offers extraordinar y
versatility at the various stations
throughout a network.
NORDX/CDT’s 110 cross-connect systems
provide superior performance in horizontal
distribution installations,equipment ter mi-
nation in telecommunication closets and as
main distribution center s. In addition,the
IBDN 110 system is ideal for providing
interconnections at consolidation
points. A select ar rangement
of IBDN 110 system compo-
nents will consistently deliver
the optimum connectivity solutions
for the application at hand.
EASY INSTALLATION,
BETTER PERFORMANCE
IBDN 110 cross-connect system
components are intuitively-designed to be
sturdy and easy to install. Impor tant
features such as a color-coded edge and
built-in pair splitters facilitate wire
insertion and contr ibute to superior
performance.
For installer convenience,IBDN 110 blocks
are easily and quickly wired using any
commercially available 110 impact or
Krone termination tool.
IBDN 110 connectivity components are
easy to assemble and provide quick,
error-free installations every time.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The robust design and enhanced
performance character istics of the IBDN
connectivity components increase your
cabling infrastructure reliability and reduce
installation and operating costs – now and
in the future.
IBDN 110 components are Category 5e
designed. This is your guarantee for high
performance.

ANTICIP ATING THE NEEDS
OF FUTURE NETWORKS
In the field of telecommunications,
anticipating future network requirements is
the key to adequately providing for ever y
unfolding network need. With this
challenge always present,NORDX/CDT
now offers a complete,end-to-end
enhanced performance,Category 5e-rated
110 cross-connect system.
IBDN 110-type connectivity uses a simple,
but fully designed modular approach
providing quality voice and high speed
data transmission capability.
The IBDN 110 cross-connect system
components are fully compliant
with the industr y’s existing 110-type
IDC connectivity allowing seamless
backward compatibility,as well as
future system migration.
POWER SUM CATEGORY 5
PERFORMANCE IS A MUST
IBDN 110 cross-connect components are
designed to Category 5e performance
levels. That means the data connectivity
components you install today will be ready
for the high speed applications that come
along in the future – including Gigabit
Ethernet. And when installed as part of an
IBDN Certified Structured Cabling System,
that performance level is carried right
through the entire channel.
At the heart of the system is the IBDN 110 Connecting Block.It comes equipped
with double-sided Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC) clips and features
color-coded blocks in 4-pair and 5-pair arrangements. As with all other IBDN 110
components, the IBDN 110 connecting blocks are fully compatible with other
110 systems.
The IBDN 110 Wiring Block is uniquely designed to simplify data ca bling instal-
lations. The IBDN 110 wiring blocks are sturdy plastic units providing firm seating
for the installed connecting block.What’s more, the wiring blocks precisely hold
and align conductors to facilitate termination, and deep wire channels and open
slots improve ca ble routing to the termination points.
IBDN Wire Management Accessories including troughs, rings and wall
mountable frames, provide everything you’ll need to organize the vertical and
horizontal routing and dressing of patch cords and jumper wires.
Pre-packaged IBDN 110 Cross-Connect Kits are readily available to satisfy
the most commonly used pair count applications. Cross-connect kits include
wiring blocks, connecting blocks and designation strips. Kits are available in
100-pair and 300-pair configurations for 4-pair or 5-pair connecting blocks.For
optimum patch cord management, choose the IBDN 110 Wall Mount Frame
Kits. These kits are specifically designed to reduce valua ble planning,ordering,
and installation time – providing the ultimate in installation efficiency.
IBDN 110 Patch Cords provide connection flexibility for cost effective
installation and administration. IBDN 110 Patch Cords can be field assembled by
terminating 1, 2 and 4-pair IBDN 110 Patch Cord Connectors onto 24 AWG
stranded cable.
For proper system identification, NORDX/CDT offers a full range of color-coded
IBDN 110 Designation Strips and Labels. Designation strips and labels provide
clear line identification for easy system administration and maintenance.
