KRONE has a long history as a market leader in the

communications and information industry.

Founded in 1928 by Gustav Krone, the KRONE

Group is one of the world’s leading suppliers of the

interconnection and distribution systems used in

telecommunications and data networks.

KRONE is represented in 140 countries around the

globe by 29 subsidiaries, 80 sales partners and

approximately 3,000 employees.

Our core LSA-Plus quick connection system, which

allows wire connection without soldering, screwing

or insulation removal, is considered an industry

standard in more than 140 markets worldwide.

INTRODUCTION

The use of KRONE’s HIGHBANDTM range within a

structured cable system enables highspeed LAN

and WAN systems “Maximum Headroom” in

transmission performance. It is the only product on

the market which far exceeds International

Category 5e performance standards and even

proposed Category 6

This improved cross connection system offers

extended bandwidth capacity and transmission

performance - a feature required in today’s

cabling systems to meet the demands of

tomorrow’s networks.

HIGHBAND configures and integrates easily with all

existing KRONE solutions and is part of the KRONE

PremisNETTM range of cabling systems. It also forms

a critical component of KRONE’s impedance

matched TrueNetTM structured cabling systems.

TrueNet is the first cabling system in the world to

eliminate data errors in the cabling channel

dramatically enhancing network efficiency and

performance. HIGHBAND is space saving, easy to

manage, and its ability to allow jumpering,

patching, or Patch-By-Exception, makes it the most

flexible system on the market today.

When patching, HIGHBAND gives you proven

reliability by the use of a centre port for the

connection which is separate to the wire

termination point.

The unique design of the silver plated KRONE LSA

Plus contact and its mechanical cable support gives

you the most reliable and secure connection

method available.

HIGHBAND is manufactured in Australia under the

ISO9001 Quality Standard and is sold world wide

through the KRONE global distribution network.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Bandwidth Higher bandwidth capacity allows you to install a cabling system

that is capable of handling emerging technologies

Silver contact plating Silver has an electrical conductance that is 6.9 times greater than tin.

45 degree contact positioning By placing contacts at 45 degree angles across the axis of the wire,

much less stress is placed on the wire at point of termination.

Centre port access HIGHBAND allows you to test/monitor access to a hardwired

circuit without breaking that circuit.

Jumper & Patch The HIGHBAND module allows you to jumper and patch on the

one module.

2 conductor slots HIGHBAND guarantees you two conductor terminations per slot.

Low insertion force The high insertion force needed to terminate other systems can

cause stress on the wire.

Single pair management HIGHBAND allows individual pair management as opposed to

RJ solutions which do not.

Work access from front of modules With the HIGHBAND module all connections are made from the

front facilitating cable administration.

Vital component of TrueNet HIGHBAND 8 and Ultim8 modules are specially tuned to perform

cabling system within the TrueNet structured cabling system offering impedance

values of 100 (± 3) ohms compared to the industry standard

of 100 (± 15) ohms.

DESIGNING BUILDING AND FLOOR DISTRIBUTORS

When configuring a floor distributor, using KRONE

HIGHBAND modules, a number of options are

available to meet the requirements of each specific

site. There is also a wide range of KRONE

mounting hardware to suit all distributor sizes.

The basic frame layout should comprise discrete

fields as shown in the example below. It is good

practice to balance up your frame, for example by

positioning your work area field in the centre of

the frame to segregate the vertical cabling and

data ports on the floor distributor.

HIGHBAND is unique in that it gives the user

multiple cross connect choices based on the

following two basic cross connect methods:

1. Jumper Cross Connect- For both voice and high speed data traffic.

- The most economical method when there is

infrequent need for changes or where better

administration and control is required

- Subsequent savings on patch panels and cords

can be used to purchase additional data hub

ports to liven up spare outlets - simplifying

workstation moves and patch administration.

2. Patch Cross Connect- For both voice and high speed data traffic.

- Provides the easiest method of cross connecting

A combination of both jumpering and patching can

be used for the optimum mix of methods to suit

particular operational requirements, eg:

Jumper the voice cross connects andpatch the data This mix of methods could be used when flexible

data configuration is required but the telephone

environment is stable and the extensions can be

changed electronically at the PABX. This mix would

allow some cost savings.

Patch-By-Exception This is the best all-round solution when you have a

large number of cross connections (>100) and

when:

- Cost-cutting is essential

- High reliability coupled with moderate flexibility

and ease of use are essential. The PBE method

facilitates administration and control of moves

and changes.

- High density Telco connectorised hub equipment

is used.

Example: Designing a Floor Distributor for100 WorkstationsDesign Criteria

- Two outlets per workstation (one voice, one data)

i.e. RJ45

- The area is served by an electronic PABX with 120

four wire extensions to provide one extension to

every workstation using 10x25 pair cable or 250

pair riser cable

- Infrequent moves are expected

- 100 BASE-T hub with 64 ports to be initially

installed to serve 50 of the workstations

- Gigabit Ethernet and ATM expected to be used

on network cabling in two years’ time

- Need to keep budget costs down

Basic decisions from criteria:

- Use HIGHBAND 8 modules on PABX, data and

work area fields

- Jumper all cross connections and Patch-By

Exception when infrequent moves are required

- Run short patch cables from 100 BASE-T hub

ports to data vertical and terminate 2 ports

(i.e. 8 pairs) per HIGHBAND 8 module. Use

modular plugs suited to solid conductor cable or

cut pre-manufactured patch cords in half and

punch down stranded cable at Highband 8.

Calculations:Question: How many HIGHBAND 8 modules are

needed?

Answer:

(a) On work area field: Answer = 100 HIGHBAND 8

modules. Remember, one HIGHBAND 8 module

can accommodate two 4 pair outlets. There are

100 workstations with two outlets per workstation,

making a total of 200 outlets. Therefore 100

HIGHBAND 8 modules are required.

(b) On data field vertical: Answer = 32 HIGHBAND

8 modules. Since we will terminate two 10 BASE T

ports per module and as there are 64 ports; 32

modules are needed.

(c) On the voice or riser field: Answer = 32

HIGHBAND 8 modules. There are a total of 120

x 2 pair telephone circuits. This equals 240

pairs. Therefore 30 HIGHBAND 8 modules are

required to terminate the specified extensions

and two modules are required to terminate the

spare cable pairs.

In total, the Distributor will use 164 HIGHBAND

8 modules.

TrueNet's zero bit error rate guarantee is

revolutionising the structured cabling industry. Until

now, no other cabling solution has been able to

deliver what Network Managers want most -

optimum data throughput. Companies worldwide

are now enjoying increased network speed and

efficiency resulting from adopting a TrueNet solution.

TrueNet Cat 5eT and Cat 6T systems are available in

a RJ solution format, and can also be configured

using KRONE's HIGHBAND 8 or Ultim8 IDC modules.

Utilising HIGHBAND modules as part of the TrueNet

solution makes KRONE's cost effective and easy to

manage Patch-By-Exception function possible.

During the research and development stage of

TrueNet, KRONE HIGHBAND connectors and KRONE

cable were finely tuned to achieve an impedance

match of 100 (± 3) ohms, which is five times greater

than the IEEE standard of 100 (± 15) ohms for

network cabling components. This level of

impedance matching has reduced the occurrence of

data errors, caused by the cabling system, and

subsequent re-transmissions to such a negligible

level that KRONE actually guarantees zero bit error

rate performance from the TrueNet system.

A Consolidation Point is particularly useful when

wiring to modular furniture, workstation clusters or

partitioned office areas. When moving modular

furniture or office partitions, there is no need to

run new cabling all the way back to the Floor

Distributor (which could be up to 90 metres). You

only need to renew the last few metres from the

Consolidation Point to the workstation outlets.

HIGHBAND Consolidation points can be

accommodated in:

• Wall boxes, e.g. KRONECTION Boxes

• Floor boxes

• Ducting

• Ceiling spaces

• Utility poles

INSTALLATION PRACTICES

Installation of CablesCables can enter the frame (either backmount or

Profil) from the top or bottom. Minimum cable

length should equal the distance to the termination

point plus 300 mm. Cables should be velcro tied

but not too tightly, at randomly spaced intervals (of

approx. 200 mm) inside the mounting frame.

Termination of CablesCables can be terminated either before or after the

module is mounted on the frame. When using a

Profil frame it is recommended to mount one end

of the module only to allow access to the rear of

the module, leaving both hands free for cable

feeding and termination.

Always commence with the module at the lowest

point on the frame. Ensure module is mounted

with KRONE logo facing up.

Fan the pairs to the corresponding termination

point. (The maximum untwist distance allowable

under the standards for Category 5e installations is

13 mm.) Place the wires in the termination slots

and terminate using a KRONE termination tool

(note: only a genuine KRONE Tool can be used).

After termination of the module is complete, place

the module on the mounting frame and repeat the

process on the next module.

Running of Jumpers & Patch CordsPatch CordsPatch Cords

Insert the patch cord in the centre access port for

the pairs to be patched. Interlocking guides prevent

the patch cord from being inserted upside down.

Loop the patch cord back through the guide ring

provided on the side of the module nearest the

pairs to be patched.

Always maintain a minimum bend radius of four

times the cable diameter. The patch cord should

then be run to the top of the frame and across to

the desired location at the other end.

JumpersJumpers

Feed the Category 5e cable through the guide ring

provided on the side of the module.

Fan and place the Category 5e jumper wire in the

termination slots of the desired pairs ensuring the

twist rate is maintained to the point of termination

(bottom row of the HIGHBAND 8 and HIGHBAND

10 disconnection modules).

Terminate each wire using a KRONE termination

tool. The jumper wire should then be run to the

top of the frame and guided across to the desired

location on the frame using the main jumper rings

and terminated appropriately.

PATCH BY EXCEPTION - HOW DOES IT WORK?

Patch-By-Exception is a solution whereby you hard wire your network and make subsequent changes utilising

patch cords. The diagram shows a patch cord changing the input from workstation one to workstation two.

The cord disconnects the jumpers leading to workstation one and re-directs the signal through the patch

cord to workstation two. To go back to the original configuration, simply remove the patch cord. If the

change is to be made permanent, a cabling specialist can be called in to hard wire the configuration and the

removed patch cord can be reused for other temporary changes.

Permanent services are hardwiredrather than patched

Data side frame does not need to be co-located with active equipment

Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable is usedinstead of patch cords.

Extensive labelling options

'19 inch' accommodation suchas racks is not required.

Capacity for mounting with existing LSA modules

Testing convenience

This provides a neat and tidy cable management solution and allows

for greater flexibility of wiring arrangements and superior reliability.

Reduces cabinet and floor space requirements and costs. Is

particularly effective with high density Telco connectorised hubs

which allows further cabinet space reductions.

This method is more cost effective as jumper cable is cheaper

than the equivalent length of patch cord. Performance is

enhanced due to the lower attenuation of jumper cable and the

elimination of one plug and socket in the channel.

More information can be displayed on the modules reducing the

need to refer to other documentation.

Makes this solution cost effective as '19 inch' racks are more

expensive. Fits in shallow wall recesses or closets.

Cost Reduction.

Suspected faulty hub or PABX ports can be tested or rerouted to

locate problems without losing the underlying patch.

Insertion LossInsertion Loss - Attenuation is the amount of loss of a signal brought about through the characteristics of

any transmission medium.

Near End Crosstalk LossNear End Crosstalk Loss - This refers to interference caused by unwanted coupling of electrical signal power

from one pair into adjacent pairs within the same cable sheath. A high value indicates low levels of

unwanted signal and best performance.

These figures were correct at the time of printing in line with the latest draft of the Australian Standards.
