high-speed
In 1976, 3M introduced a series of connector
modules to meet the needs of the telecom
industry. Today, the demand for high-speed and
high-bandwidth networks is greater than ever,
and the complete series of 3M connector modules,
tools and test equipment has evolved again.
2
New demands in an age of information.
Every day, local loop providers work to provide enhanced customer services such as data access with faster Internet
transmission, video-on-demand and video conferencing. Many are deploying DSL, ADSL and VDSL over Category 5
into twisted pair copper cable to meet these demands. As new technologies migrate into the local loop, the importance
of connections in the embedded plant has increased. Each connection is a potential point of failure in high-bandwidth
applications, which could require repair by a technician. That is where 3M connector modules make a real difference.
New solutions from a company you trust.
3M MS Next Generation Modular System Splicing tools and equipment are easy to use in any kind of splicing operation,
™
2™
regardless of the environment or working conditions.
More than 200 tools are available to suit your needs with the reliability you have come to trust from 3M. Detailed step-by-step
instructions for every kind of splicing application are included with all test equipment, parts and tools to provide splice
integrity. Splicing is simplified and inventories minimized by allowing many jobs to be performed with the same basic
components, tools and techniques.
This simplified system means that any of the eight next-generation splicing rigs with MS splicing modules could meet all
2
of your multi-pair splicing requirements in inside or outside plant such as new construction, cable rearrangements and
maintenance. These procedures are easy to learn and designed to assure both splicing accuracy and good housekeeping.
