“It is always difficult to improve upon a network setup beyond the initial plan. For this reason, Schneider Electric’s Actassi range of networking and connectivity infrastructure solutions for buildings and data centres includes everything a customer needs, from enclosures and patch panels, to cables and connectors. All are easily integrated with our products to improve network accessibility,” says Riaan Herbst, business development manager: network connectivity at Schneider Electric South Africa.
Actassi consists of the following comprehensive set of products:
* Connectors for Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat 6A performance.
* Cross-connect panels.
* Copper and fibre optic LAN cables.
* Patch cords and connecting hardware.
* Telecommunication enclosures.
“All products are designed to give superior usability and performance, such as the new one-piece RJ45 connectors, Actassi S-One. The connectors comply with the most advanced international standards, such as ISO/ IEC 11801 and 2:2010. All S-One connectors are manufactured to provide exceptional CAT 5e, CAT 6 and CAT 6A performance for shielded and unshielded data networks. They are also fully integrated with a wide range of Schneider Electric products, like wiring devices and installation systems including trunking, poles, posts and floor boxes,” says Herbst.
He adds that the main benefit of Actassi is that it offers seamless end-to-end network connectivity. “A further advantage is that it is a comprehensive product offer encompassing copper and fibre optic connectors, copper and fibre LAN cables and patch cords, cross-connect panels, networking and telecommunication enclosures. “A bonus is that it also offers superior usability, as it is easy to specify, install, use and upgrade. It is also future proof, which means that customers have no problems with retrofits.”
Actassi’s focus on the environment differentiates it from competitors. Herbst explains that environmental responsibility lies at the core of the Schneider Electric culture and strategy. “We strive to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their entire life-cycle, particularly through eco-design and eco-production,” he says.
Designed to fit to other Schneider Electric products and solutions, Actassi is part of the Schneider Electric Total Office Performance (TOP) system for buildings and software tools that facilitate the design of complete infrastructures. “All TOP components are designed to work as one, from power and data distribution, to safety systems and life space controls. TOP is built on the values of easy installation, reliability, flexibility and efficiency, while delivering outstanding performance and functionality,” concludes Herbst.
