Las Vegas, NV – April 7, 2011 – Berk-Tek, a Nexans Company, an innovative leader in copper and fiber optic cable technology, received the “Best in Network Support Solutions” award for the OneReach PoE Extender system in the Security Industry Association (SIA) New Product Showcase (NPS). This is the first time a cabling manufacturer has won this award.
The New Product Showcase offers an expanded list of product categories and the largest display area ever. For the buying community – dealers, consultants, specifiers, integrators and security professionals – the NPS is a trusted and valued source for information on the latest products and technologies available. Now in its 33rd year, the NPS was established to recognize innovative products, services and solutions in electronic physical security. This is the first year that the Network Support Solutions category has been added to NPS. Other award categories, which totaled 21, included video surveillance cameras and support equipment, video storage and software, intrusion detection, biometrics and access control.
“As surveillance systems are moving towards IP and relying on a structured cabling infrastructure, the award categories are expanding to accommodate these emerging technologies,” explains Mike Connaughton, RCDD, Fiber Optic Products Business Manager at Berk-Tek, who accepted the award from SIA’s CEO Richard Chace at the ceremony. “We are proud to be the first cabling manufacturer acknowledged through this prestigious recognition,” he adds.
The OneReach PoE Extender system is a complete solution comprised of PoE media converters and Berk-Tek’s CL3R-OF (Class 3, NEC rated) copper and optical fiber composite cable. By utilizing this system, IP PoE cameras can be supported at distances of up to 4,000 feet without the need for an electrical outlet at the camera end. At the Berk-Tek booth, a live video streaming was demonstrated though the OneReach system.
