The CHANNEL H Solution
Whether you are at a coffee shop surfing the web, placing an
on-line order, e-mailing a spreadsheet, or involved in a video
conference call, you are taking advantage of only a small slice
of what today’s global communication network has to offer. Regardless of if we are using a network for work or for play, our
expectations are that it will be fast and dependable. What many
may forget, however, is that all of the data that we download to
or upload from our laptop, desktop or smartphone, wirelessly
or not, must travel over a network infrastructure consisting of
copper and fiber optic cables. The wireless capabilities of any
network rely entirely on the performance of the infrastructure
components. Today, most companies choose a wired network
due to its dependability, security and superior throughput
speeds. Many, however, supplement their wired network with
wireless access. What all networks have in common, though, is
that they have become integral parts of how we communicate
and do business. That is why it is very important to select the
best components when designing and building a network. And,
if you want to ensure optimum performance, select Channel H
components.
Comprised of copper and fiber optic cables from Hitachi Cable
America (HCA) and connectivity from Hubbell Premise Wiring,
Channel H solutions offer the very best in performance and reliability and are backed by a confidence inspiring 25-year warranty.
HCA and Hubbell make network design easy by providing a
vast selection of products to ensure customization and that
the desired level of network performance is achieved. Channel H simplifies the network design process further by offering
the most popular components from each company in unique,
performance-oriented packages. Regardless of whether you
are a small startup with only a few employees, or a financial
institution employing tens of thousands, Channel H will deliver
reliable, market-leading performance to keep you up and running. In today’s competitive market, downtime is not an option.
Channel-H…Tune in.

Why CHANNEL H?
Guaranteed Performance
& Reliability
The CHANNEL H Solution
Channel H offers multiple solutions to meet your specific needs. Each solution provides a different level of performance and each can
address your long or short term IT goals. For those with small to medium throughput demands and whose occupancy at their facility
may be only a few years, selecting a Category 5e or Category 6 solution may satisfy your needs. For those with higher throughput
needs and expectations to occupy their facility for an extended length of time, Category 6A may be the better choice. Other factors,
such as anticipated network upgrades, should be considered when considering the appropriate solution. To handle ever-growing
throughput needs, faster network electronics are developed to provide for them.
It is wise to choose an infrastructure that will accommodate these newer electronics and not limit your network speeds to something
less than you desire. Upgrading the infrastructure can be a costly, challenging undertaking. To ensure your network remains as robust
as possible, install the highest performing solution possible.
The table below is intended to differentiate the solutions by their capabilities.

Category 6A Solutions
Channel H offers Category 6A solutions in both UTP and FUTP configurations. HCA’s Supra 10G® UTP and FUTP cables are both UL
verified Category 6A. These cables, when mated to Hubbell’s durable, intelligently designed Category 6A components provide performance that will surpass a user’s expectations in both throughput and overall value. Both UTP and FUTP solutions provide guaranteed
IEEE 802.3an 10-gigabit Ethernet throughput to a full 100 meters and will support all applications intended for Category 6A and all
preceding categories. The FUTP solution provides the additional benefit of increased immunity from RFI and EMI as well as the security
that a fully shielded cable can offer.

The CHANNEL H Solution
Enhanced Category 6 Solution
Providing exceptional performance, the Channel H Enhanced Category 6 solution offers significant headroom over the TIA-568-C.2
Category 6 standard to ensure optimal performance even after the most challenging of installations. With positive ACR well beyond
250 MHz, the Enhanced Category 6 solution will easily accommodate gigabit Ethernet as well as POE+ and video. And, since
HCA’s new Supra 660™ cable features an outside diameter that is 15% smaller than many competitor’s cables, conduit fill rates are
dramatically improved.

Category 6 Solution
Like all Channel H solutions, the Category 6 solution carries a 25-year warranty and application assurance. This value-rich solution
offers guaranteed gigabit Ethernet performance and will support both POE and POE+. The combination of HCA’s rugged Category
6 Plus™ cable and Hubbell’s durable connectivity provide a secure and reliable infrastructure that has value in mind. HCA’s Plus™
cable has also been recently re-engineered to offer higher performance and do so with a smaller diameter, permitting more cables per
conduit.

Fiber Optic Solutions
The Channel H family of products also includes end-to-end fiber optic solutions that deliver
world class performance and reliability in any environment. HCA’s multimode and singlemode
cables utilize optical glass from Corning, the company that invented fiber optics. As an
added value, Corning’s® ClearCurve® bend-insensitive glass is utilized for all appropriate HCA
multimode cable constructions and is available in OM2, OM3 and OM4 performance levels.
By using bend-insensitive glass, HCA cables provide minimum attenuation and maximum
bandwidth.
For enclosure selection and innovation, no other company offers what Hubbell does. From
rack-mount to wall-mount, Hubbell has what you need. And, in addition to the more common
adhesive and crimp style connectors, Hubbell also offers its 2-Click style connector that makes
terminating singlemode or multimode fibers extremely quick and easy.
So, if you need to run 10-gigabit Ethernet to a corner of your warehouse or to the other side
of the campus, Channel H has all the components necessary for the task.
Warranty
When two performance oriented companies like Hubbell and Hitachi get together, you can be certain that the warranty they offer will be
impressive. More importantly, both companies have a history of being customer oriented. We won’t inundate you with red tape. If you
believe you have an issue, we will work with you until it is resolved to your satisfaction.
All Channel H solutions are backed by a 25-Year warranty that covers not only individual components, but guarantees the performance of the
end-to-end solution as well. The warranty assures that all solutions will fully support any and all applications designed to operate over them
for the duration of the warranty period. And, unlike some warranties, the Channel H warranty includes any labor that might be associated with
warranty work. Some competing solutions exclude it.
.....That’s not much of a warranty.
