PANDUIT Provides Network Infrastructure Solution for Orange County Choppers

Business Wire, May 23, 2008

TINLEY PARK, Ill. -- Orange County Choppers (OCC) has selected and deployed a PANDUIT end-to-end network infrastructure solution to support retail, manufacturing, and operations at the new OCC headquarters in Newburgh, NY.

OCC is regarded as one of the world's premier builders of custom motorcycles, having built custom theme bikes for some of the biggest names in corporate America. The company's growth created the need to merge existing facilities into a new 92,000 square-foot world headquarters, which was revealed in a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 24, 2008.

The PANDUIT network infrastructure solution was chosen because of its superior quality and performance characteristics. In the data center, the deployed PANDUIT solutions include copper and fiber cabling and connectivity, racks, cable management, and grounding and bonding components to support voice and data communications, video, and a high-end speaker system throughout the facility. In the manufacturing area, PANDUIT([R]) INDUSTRIALNET[TM] Connectors were deployed. These high-performance, IP 67 rated, RJ45 connectors exceed ODVA and TIA standards to protect critical control data from dust, vibrations, and other elements of the harsh manufacturing environment.

By integrating all systems from computing and communications to point-of-sale and manufacturing control on one high-performance structured cabling infrastructure, OCC can increase productivity, efficiency, and security to achieve lower cost of ownership. The new facility will meet the U.S. Green Building Council's guidelines for achieving LEED (leadership in energy and environmental design) certification.
