Anixter revealed its new Utility Grade INFRASTRUCTURESM solution at IBCON and INFOCOMM

Utility Grade INFRASTRUCTURE by Anixter, also known as UTG, is a new technology platform, assurance program and design approach that redefines the infrastructure layer to support building subsystems, technologies and applications.

Developed alongside the leading network infrastructure manufacturers, Belden, CommScope and Fluke Networks, and third-party tested and verified by UL, Anixter’s UTG program will offer UTG-rated cabling solutions and provide the foundation that will unlock the potential of the next generation of buildings to maximize ROI and enhance user experience.

Anixter highlights the Smart Building Revolution that is driving the demand to improve the use of building spaces, making them more productive, flexible and efficient. Andrew Jimenez, Anixter’s vice president of technology, also points out, “Success depends on taking advantage of advancements in convergence, with a cabling infrastructure that can bridge gaps between information and operational technology to solve the problem of managing multiple systems that require more bandwidth and lower latency.”

Anixter’s UTG program provides specifications for interoperable and future-ready solutions that exceed current standards of category rated cabling, including extended transmission distances, higher bandwidth capabilities, 4k streaming, increased bundling sizes for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications and support for next-generation Wi-Fi technologies.

More information about UTG products and solutions can be found at anixter.com/utg. UTG-rated cabling solutions will be available for specification on July 15.
