Nexans has completed a project providing infrastructure cabling for the Creekside Cancer Care Outpatient Center in Lafayette, Colorado. The center is home to CyberKnife VSI, a new version of the CyberKnife, the world’s only robotic radiosurgery system which offers patients a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body.
The project, which was completed in June 2010, uses Nexans LANmark-7A solution, the highest performance, backwards compatible copper solution available. LANmark-7A features the revolutionary GG45 connector, which is an RJ45 formatted connector thus making it fully compatible with legacy equipment while simultaneously being capable of supporting bandwidths of 40G and beyond.
Jim Mather, Chief Development Officer at Creekside Cancer Care LLC, commented on the selection of Nexans saying: “It was clear when designing the building that we would need absolutely the best infrastructure available to support the ongoing requirements of the surgery system. However, we also needed a system that was backwards compatible, that could deliver 40G in a high noise environment, that would last for the next fifteen or twenty years, and that still had a reasonable cost of ownership. Nexans solution was the only one on the market that matched all these criteria.”
Larry Paniccia, Business Development Director of Nexans Cabling Solutions USA, also remarked: “The CyberKnife system has revolutionised healthcare for thousands of patients, and we are delighted to be able to provide a quality cabling infrastructure system that meets all the requirements of the Creekside Cancer Care center.”
