The Siemon UltraMAX Copper Connectivity System offers a wide array of outlets, patch panels, and termination tools that allow users to support their unique network deployments and installation preferences. These components combine connectivity innovation and customer-first design to address challenges, eliminate compromises, and provide a single platform that delivers efficiencies across all lifecycle stages from manufacturing and distribution to installation, maintenance, and operation.

Siemon’s latest addition to the system, the UltraMAX TurboTool, is easy to use and significantly reduces the time associated with the termination of category 5e, 6, and 6A UTP UltraMAX outlets. In contrast to a single conductor punchdown tools, which requires eight individual termination cycles for each outlet, the UltraMAX TurboTool seats and cuts all eight conductors with a single termination action.

The tool is rated for a minimum of 10,000 cycles and allows users to consistently terminate high-performance connections with reliability and speed.

Key Features

Rotatable Tool
Provides flexible cable entry enabling termination on either side of the outlet to accommodate multiple cable pathway directions and bend radius compliance.

Durable Construction
Designed with 16-gauge steel and tough, high-impact resistant plastics, this tool was built for the everyday rigors of the job site.

Ergonomic Design
The tool’s spring-loaded handle has been designed with the user in mind, providing comfortable and simple one-handed terminations

Termination Speed
Speeds up termination time by 15% over a single-position punch-down tool process. 

Safety Latch
This integrated handle allows users to easily secure the handles for storage and protection between usage

Replaceable Cutting Die
Users can easily replace the cutting die extending the lifetime of the tool for perfect terminations.

Versatile Terminations
The tool supports termination of all category 5e, 6 and 6A UTP UltraMAX outlets – hybrid, keystone, and panel mount.

Watertown, CT — Siemon, a leading global network infrastructure specialist, is pleased to announce that Brian Celella, Principle Electrical Engineer at Siemon Labs, has been named the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) 2020-2021 Edward Lohse Information Technology Medal winner.

Awarded by the ANSI Board of Directors, the Edward Lohse Information Technology Medal honors an individual who has participated in the development of information technology standards both at the national and international levels, demonstrated leadership in the promotion of such standards within the information technology standards community and fostered cooperation among the bodies involved in global standardization.

Celella joined Siemon in 1998 as an Electrical Engineer, where he has played a key role in new product development and test methodology advancements, primarily focused on connector design and optimization of system channel performance. Through these efforts, Celella has contributed to 7 Siemon patents and driven a wide array of key product innovations.
But as impressive as his work at Siemon has been, it is his work on behalf of the structured cabling industry as a whole that earned him this prestigious ANSI award. Through his diligent standards work with the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) and the Telecommunications Industry Association
(TIA), Celella has helped to define Category 6, 6A, 7A, and Category 8. In over two decades as a member of the TIA, he has prepared and presented 34 contributions to the TIA TR-42.7 Subcommittee – the key Standards group developing telecommunications copper cabling component and system requirements for premises networks. Celella is the current TR-42.7 Vice-Chair, and has previously held leadership positions as chair of several TR-42.7 task groups including connecting hardware transverse conversion loss and, Category 8 cable and connecting hardware specifications.

Celella’s influence also reaches well beyond TIA. He has been a member of ISO/IEC JTC1 SC25 WG3 group responsible for standardization of cabling systems for customer premises as well as the associated USTAG for over a decade. He was the Project leader for the third edition of the ISO/IEC 11801 document series specifying structured copper and optical fiber cabling systems. Brian is also an active member of IEC SC46C working to develop the next generation of copper cabling requirements.

In recognizing his deep dedication and contributions to developing technologies and standards that ensure IT network interoperability, security and reliability for all, this award places Celella among the industry’s most recognized and inspiring leaders.

“Brian’s imprint can truly be seen across our entire industry,” explained John Siemon, Chief Technical Officer and VP of Operations at The Siemon Company. “In addition to his considerable technical expertise, Brian has a unique ability to bring people together in developing standards that represent the best our industry has to offer. His calm and patient approach to resolving seemingly intractable technical debates encourages innovation and consensus around ‘win-win’ solutions that transform ideas and proposals to international standards. As much as his dedication and expertise has shaped so many successful Siemon product and system innovations, it is our industry that benefits most from his efforts. As someone who has the privilege of working with Brian over the past 23 years, I cannot think of a more deserving recipient”.
