ADC KRONE Wins ATUG Innovation Award for New Leadframe Jack
The ADC KRONE Leadframe jack is an industry first, generating great interest within the cabling industry. The connection system uses stamped metal wires instead of the traditional printed circuit board. Due to be released in February 2006, ADC KRONE expects high interest in the product by a vast array of cablers who are demanding more bandwidth in order to deliver new services to their customers.
The award was presented to Jason Hogue, ADC KRONE product engineer, who was instrumental in the development of the new technology. The award was presented at the Newcastle awards night held on Thursday 24th November.
The design of the Leadframe jack is unique and very complex, said Hogue. The technology is difficult to manufacture, which is one reason why other companies have not attempted this particular design. When the product becomes available to the market, users will have access to more bandwidth.
ADC KRONEs regional product manager, Glen Johnston explained this further. Domestic and commercial users are demanding more bandwidth on their data networks to cope with the high-speed transfer of large amounts of data. To achieve this, network components such as connector modules and wall outlets must be capable of handling this throughput at high frequencies without corrupting the data being transferred. To achieve this in Leadframe design is a technological breakthrough that will shape our industry.
While some of the technology in the new jack was based on previous KRONE lead frame technology, there were numerous hurdles in redesigning not only the contacts, but also the plastic housings and the automation to assemble these complex components in high volumes. To achieve Category 6 compliance required an enormous increase in performance above any existing designs.
