To our valued business partners,

With the backing of our new parent company Mikrolink (www.mikrolink.co.uk) Shaxon is entering a new phase of growth and expansion.

As part of our expansion phase we will be increasing our value to our customer base by investing in the most aggressive off-the-shelf product stocking in our history, with multiple containers of stock copper and fiber product heading to both the West Coast and our logistical hub near Jacksonville Florida. We will also add additional logistically critical warehousing locations in the USA over the next year.

Customers have traditionally turned to us for our product knowledge, competent sales staff and quick-turn manufacturing abilities, we are proud to continue this tradition with no interruption. The Shaxon you know and rely on remains the same post-transition with the only notable change being the capital investment and support from Mikrolink to improve our stock levels, time to market and new product development.

The synergies of the companies in the Mikrolink group will give our customers access to an even more diversified product line, including expansion into data center markets on a whole new scale.

We look forward to working with our existing customer base and new customers as we kick off a new and improved Shaxon industries.

As always, thank you for the opportunity.

Get the skinny on Plenum-Rated 28AWG Patch Cables

Plenum-rated cable meets a higher safety standard than both CM and riser-rated cable (CMR). It is fire-resistant and produces less smoke than other cable jackets. Plenum cable (CMP) is typically used within buildings’ plenum spaces, which often provide HVAC services. In the past, solid 23AWG cables were utilized in these spaces because they were inexpensive and carry signals over long distances. These solid cables are not flexible and can fracture under constraint as well as compromise connections when bent, causing plugs to pull out of jacks.

Shaxon stranded plenum patch cable meets the loss-prevention requirements of insurance companies, as well as the demands of Power over Ethernet (PoE) connections short-space cables, where inflexible solutions do not work. With insurance rates on the rise, building owners are increasingly choosing plenum-rated cable as the best long-term decision.

They are ideal for use in patching applications where a CMP rating is mandated, or where fire protection, limited smoke emissions and streamlined CM and CMR cable requirements are desired.

Given their smaller and flexible design, cable density is improved and increased air flow for rack ventilation is maximized. Applications include plenum spaces, top-of-rack, patching solutions, high-density installations, temperature-sensitive spaces, secure networks and PoE. Ratings include NEC (ETL)-type CMP and CEC C(ETL)-type CMP.

Approved by the TIA’s TR-42.7 Copper Cabling Systems Subcommittee in 2018, TIA-568.2-D is a revision to the 568 cabling standard that recognizes 28 AWG patch cords. Previously the TIA had recommended only 22 AWG to 26 AWG for balanced twisted-pair cables. The addition of 28 AWG guidance is important for high-density applications where congestion, airflow and sharp bend radii are major considerations. Their smaller diameter allows 28 AWG patch cords to be used in places where 22 AWG to 26 AWG may be difficult or impossible to deploy.

Shaxon Cabling Bundles

We all know there’s only so much time in a day.  Whether it’s a project that’s behind schedule or a data center with limited access, Shaxon can help you and your customers save time and money with pre-terminated cable bundles. 

Shaxon Cable Bundles can be ordered as discrete keystone jacks, RJ-45 plugs, or other media in any logical combination. Bundles can be wrapped, sleeved, or shrink wrapped to include 4 pair data cables, coax, fiber, audio-video and more.

Bundles are often sequentially labeled for ease of install on the job site. Shaxon can manufacture PVC bundles for rack to rack applications or solid plenum bundles for use in plenum air space or to reach wireless access points or automated lighting systems.

Maybe you’re wiring the same retail space in a 100 different locations and need to get from one site to the next as quickly as possible. Whatever your bundle need, we will work together to get you the solution you need.

Classic Cable Products

You hate it when you have to send your customers out shopping for items you can no longer easily source, why not work with a manufacturer that supports legacy cabling products as well as the “latest and greatest”? We continue to offer legacy items for one good reason- your customers still need the products. They may not sell in the quantities that Slim Jacket Patch Cords and OM4 fiber does, but older connectivity options ( SCSI, SVGA, BNC, RS232 cables, RJ21 panels and cables, flat satin, screw terminal jacks, modular adapters, etc ) are still viable business.

TRUNK CABLES
UL LISTED FLAT SATIN PHONE CABLE
HIGH DENSITY TELCO PANELS
COMPUTER PERIPHERAL CABLES
MODULAR ADAPTERS

There’s nothing more satisfying to us when we can help one our trusted distribution partners fulfill their customer needs.  Not only does this type of service build the Shaxon/distributor relationship but it often allows the distributor to garner more business from the end user by being a reliable partner.  And if we don’t have the length of cable you need we may be able to build it for you.  Let Shaxon help you be that Distribution Hero to your customer.

TAA-Compliant ≠ Made in the USA

Shaxon is your source for TAA-Compliant cables and Made in the USA assemblies.  It should be noted TAA-Compliant is defined as “U.S.-made or designated country end products.”  Designated countries can be in Europe, Asia, South America or even across the US border in Canada or Mexico.  Some companies are TAA-Compliant but products are manufactured in one of the many countries, outside the USA, included in the definition of designated country end products.

Shaxon is different.  We manufacture products in the USA to meet TAA-Compliant Standards so you are receiving a product that meets the definition and spirit of TAA-Compliant.  By purchasing TAA-Compliant cables from Shaxon you are receiving a high quality product with shorter lead-times than overseas manufacturing, your purchase helps drive the US economy, and your purchase supports a locally owned business of over 40 years.

Shaxon can provide a wide offering of TAA-Compliant assemblies from Cat 5e/6/6A, fiber optics, A/V, computer cable and peripheral assemblies, coax, and more.  You can send us your specification or we can build a specification based on your needs.  Be sure to reach out to your Shaxon Sales Contact or you can reach Shaxon at 1-800-345-8295.
