Designing leading-edge products with lead-
ing-edge tools; there is hardly a more precise
statement to illustrate why Syncroness has
emerged as a global player in new product
development. It also explains why the firm
chose ADC to provide high-performance
cabling infrastructure for its new corporate
headquarters in Westminster, Colorado.
“Our business is totally dependant upon our number one tool – computer
power,” said Jörg Lorsheider, Syncroness’ director of business development and
sales. “Our network has to be operational at peak proficiency 100 percent of
the time and that means it needs to work quickly. When we considered the
available choices for high-performance Ethernet cabling, we found that ADC’s
new CopperTen system has capabilities far beyond anything else on the market.”
COLOSSAL FILES REQUIRE ENORMOUS CAPABILITIES
Syncroness employs more than 30 mechanical engineers who use the most-
advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software to invent or improve a wide
variety of products; from golf clubs to exercise machines, medical devices to
products used in space exploration. With offices in Irvine, California and Kuala

and fiber optic cabling systems.
CopperTen is the industry’s first aug-
mented Category 6 UTP cabling system
and it is guaranteed to enable 10-giga-
bit transmission to be implemented to
the full 100 meters required for struc-
tured cabling systems. “In fact, we can
guarantee 18 gigabits per second of
channel capacity, and right now, no
one else can do that,” said Yanish.
“Cat 6 was supposed to be the next
solution. While it did produce more
bandwidth, or pipe size, it couldn’t
support 10-gig Ethernet. CopperTen
does; it provides a ten-fold increase in
the transmission of large amounts of data as measured by Shannon’s Capacity*, while extending
bandwidth to enable a capacity greater than 18 gigabits per second up to 625 MHz. And CopperTen
does all this while eliminating alien crosstalk.”
Alien crosstalk is signal noise generated from adjacent cables. It has plagued high-capacity copper
cable designs for years. ADC combats alien crosstalk with its patent-pending oblique elliptical star
filler, which never allows bordering conductors to touch or get too close to one another. This design,
combined with the company’s unique cable manufacturing process, oscillate the cable pairs off-cen-
ter, isolating each connector from the other.

the important role each plays in reaching their individual goals. When it was time to name their
corporation, the five owners of Syncroness chose a name that promoted their formula for success-
ful relationships. Says Lorsheider, “The name describes our ability to “synchronize” our capabilities
and talents with the needs of our customers; to harmonize our bases of knowledge. That is the
relationship we form with our customers and the kind of relationship ADC has formed with us.”

*Shannon’s Capacity formula is: Q = B log2 (1+S) concerning a communications channel: the formula that relates
bandwidth in Hertz, to information carrying capacity in bits per second. Where Q is the information carrying capacity
(ICC), B is the bandwidth and S is the signal-to-noise ratio. This expression shows that the ICC is proportional to the
bandwidth, but is not identical to it.
