Amphenol Broadband Solutions (ABS) Products Recognized in 2021 Diamond Technology Reviews
The ABS FlexTrax™ Fiber Management System offers simple, flexible protection for fiber jumpers, while its NDX Connector is designed to minimize signal ingress/egress between wired and wireless networks.
WALLINGFORD, Conn., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Amphenol Broadband Solutions (ABS) announced today that its FlexTrax™ management system received a 2021 Broadband Technology Report (BTR) Diamond Technology Review Award with a rating of 4 Diamonds. The company's new NDX Connector received a respectable 3 Diamonds in its own BTR evaluation. The awards are based on a variety of criteria, including unique technological innovation, ease-of-use, efficiency, reliability and contribution to profitability. Products are judged by a third-party panel of executives from respected industry operators.
With more flexibility and better protection than split tube and greater ease of access than slotted duct, FlexTrax replaces both to manage and protect fiber. The secret to its simplicity lies in its gating feature. By opening the overlapping gates, a technician gains unimpeded access to the cable storage area of FlexTrax, allowing addition or rearrangement of fibers as necessary. Fibers may be routed out of FlexTrax at any of its generous openings. With work completed, the gates are closed back over the fibers with no risk of pinching.
"As broadband use continues to soar, FlexTrax makes possible additions and rearrangements in hub locations simply and with maximum fiber protection," said Darrell Galasso, General Manager, ABS. "Additionally, our NDX coaxial connector addresses the coming problems associated with the higher frequencies emerging in the customer premises environment."
With the growing ubiquity of 5G Handsets and a migration towards DOCSIS 4.0, frequencies in the wired and wireless networks are destined to collide. The vulnerability of wired home networks to interference from wireless signal ingress is particularly evident at the coaxial connector. The unique shielding approach utilized in the NDX provides protection to both the wired and wireless networks in the premises, while also simplifying the installation process through the use of a simple, intuitive push-on connector.
"On behalf of the Broadband Technology Report's 2021 Diamond Technology Reviews, I would like to congratulate Amphenol Broadband Solutions on their 4 Diamonds honoree status," said Broadband Technology Report's Chief Editor, Stephen Hardy. "This program recognizes and rewards the top products and solutions available to the broadband cable industry. We appreciate all entries we receive though not all were honored with 3.5 Diamonds or above."
More information on both FlexTrax and the NDX Connector is available on the company's website.
