CORDIAL officially supports RAVENNA 06 Mar 2014
Today, cable supplier Cordial announced its support of the open media networking standard RAVENNA. Under a special cooperation agreement, Cordial and ALC NetworX have collaborated on the manufacture and promotion of a RAVENNA-branded CAT5 cable for professional use.
To support the growing RAVENNA ecosystem, Cordial has created a heavy duty data cable with a RAVENNA imprint and a light green coloured PUR jacket. The RAVENNA cable conforms to the CAT 5e transmission standard and features an extraordinarily robust construction and quality that provides many benefits in daily use, i.e.:
reliable connectivity, even in rough mobile use like live concerts, moving stages and mobile equipment;
minimised bit errors and packet losses, resulting in a reliable network set-up;
improved network cabling overview through intuitive and easy visibility of RAVENNA signal paths.
States Georg Withof, Product & Market Manager, Cordial: Cordial is known as a supplier of reliable and durable cables for pro-audio and the music industry. The RAVENNA data cable underlines our own claim to deliver products that customers genuinely rely on for a long time - even in challenging environments. Following our Cordial DNA we are happy to promote transparency and openness and we are especially pleased to support the open and very promising RAVENNA standard for media networking.
Andreas Hildebrand, Senior Product Manager of ALC NetworX, adds: We are gratified to note a growing interest in RAVENNA, particularly from companies providing solution-agnostic network infrastructure. While suitable data cables from any manufacturer can of course be used with RAVENNA, we immediately recognized the benefit of having a dedicated, easy-to-identify network cable in place, specifically in mobile environments. Plus, the experience and reputation of Cordial as a supplier of sturdy, high-quality cables for professional use adds a significant amount of reliability to the underlying network infrastructure.
