GLENVIEW, Ill., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anixter Inc. , the world's leading distributor of communication products, electrical and electronic wire & cable and a leading distributor of fasteners and other small parts ("C" Class inventory components) to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), has released the 2006 Security Infrastructure Resource Guide.
The Security Infrastructure Resource Guide was created with the security installer and integrator in mind. The 52-page guide includes six detailed sections, and focuses on educating security installers and integrators on the importance of installing the correct infrastructure whether the customer is requesting a security solution that requires traditional analog, hybrid or full-blown digital/IP. Having the correct infrastructure in place becomes even more critical for security systems that are migrating from analog to IP.
Currently, there are no existing cabling standards/guidelines for the installation of traditional, coax-based security systems. Anixter's Security Infrastructure Resource Guide provides state-of-the-art installation guidelines and techniques to assist the security installer or integrator in optimizing the performance of the cabling infrastructure. The guide also introduces new concepts and best practices, complete with diagrams, for designing traditional coax-based, hybrid and digital/IP security solutions.
"In order to effectively service today's security customers, security installers/integrators need to be aware of the proper infrastructure requirements for analog, hybrid and digital/IP systems. As a result, Anixter developed the Security Infrastructure Resource Guide to inform our security integrators/installers about the current trends occurring in the security market and highlight best practices for designing and building a sound infrastructure. Cabling infrastructure has been the core of our business for many years, and we want our security integrator/installer customer base to look to Anixter as a knowledgeable resource to help them provide the highest- performing security system for their customers." -- Michelle Allard, VP of Marketing, Security Solutions, Anixter.
