Anixter unveils new communications products catalog

Anixter (Skokie, IL) — a provider of communications equipment and cabling — recently published "Communications Products 2001." This catalog contains over 12,000 products, including 1200 new items, which are highlighted throughout 11 product categories. The product categories include sections on copper and fiber solutions, networking and industrial products, test equipment and voice products. Each section contains an extensive table of contents that identifies products by vendor and contains updates on the newest developments in LANs and WANs.

The comprehensive, 970-page catalog also includes a technical appendix consisting of a reference guide consolidating key aspects of ANSI/TIA/EIA568-A, 569, 606 and 607 standards. According to Steve Keller, Anixter's Vice President of Marketing, new products and technological developments have created a demand for an up-to-date catalog to serve as a concise reference guide for the industry.

"Fast-paced changes in communications called for a centralized source of information that could be easily referenced," Keller explained. "That's why, in addition to over 1200 new products, we've included features in the catalog such as the Technical Appendix and the most extensive glossary in the industry."

The catalog also includes more than 30 pages about Anixter Levels—the cabling and component testing program that ensures cabling performance. Detailed are the latest Levels Lab discoveries about active testing and the five Levels XP solutions.

The Anixter Communications Products 2001 Catalog can be ordered direct through your local Anixter sales office and will also be available soon on Anixter's website.
