Siemon: Connecting India to a New Standard
The first industrial revolution in the beginning of the past century was defined by countless establishments by the then bright minds of the past millennium. Most importantly, it was a time when foundations were laid for industries that were destined to become pivotal for the human civilization to thrive.Telecommunication was one such industry that found its rock with AT& T Labs back in 1900s.
Around the same time, in 1903, Carl Siemon founded The Siemon Hard Rubber Company in Bridgeport, CT. In 1906, Siemon enters the telecommunications industry with their 3-pole connecting block. From supplying AT& T in the newly established telecommunications market in the early 1900s, to being one of the world's largest end-to-end network solution manufacturers, Siemon has never lost its home grown values and dedication to customer service. 118 years and counting, Siemon leads the industry in the manufacture and innovation of high quality, high performance IT infrastructure solutions for LANs, Data Centers and Intelligent Buildings.
With a global sales, technical support and logistics expertise, Siemon offers the most comprehensive suite of copper (unshielded and shielded twisted pair)and fibre cabling systems, cabinets, racks, cable management, power distribution solutions and next generation automated infrastructure management.
Siemon's reputation for industry leadership, innovation, world class quality, expert service and support, and environmental stewardship has earned the company a giant clientele that spans multiple markets. Over 200 of top Global 500 companies such as NASA, Barclays, IBM, Amazon, Alibaba.com, Bosch, Peugeot, HSBC, UBS, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, FORD, Air France, MGM Grand and Halliburton, are part of Siemon's clientele.

Converge IT® Cabling Solutions for Intelligent Building IP-based systems
Intelligent buildings are the future of sustainability and operational efficiency, and those benefits are maximized by the integration of low voltage, IP-based applications such as Wi-Fi, AV, security, PoE lighting, distributed antenna systems(DAS) and building automation systems onto a centralized Ethernet cabling infrastructure.
Siemon's Converge IT addresses multiple building systems running over a single IT cabling infrastructure and converge towards a single IP. These systems can include voice & data systems, video surveillance, access control, audio/video equipment's, fire alarms/safety, lighting, HVAC/DAS etc.
This kind of system will result in Up to 30 percent cost reduction associated with consolidated cabling and pathway infrastructure, energy savings, centralized visualization & control, better use of operations and lower maintenance time. Siemon helps customers attain Lower CapEx Spending, Lower Power Deployment Costs, Lower OpEx Spending. Siemon also works towards Achieving Enhanced Occupant Experience and Sustainable Digital Building Life.
Based on Siemon's Digital Building Architecture, ConvergeIT combines Siemon's cabling solutions, design expertise, industry partnerships, and deployment services to help building owners and operators reap the benefits of IP-based IB platforms.

Siemon has focused its more than century of cabling expertise into a global data center service network, capable of guiding clients through the process of selecting and designing the infrastructure needed to realize the full potential of customers' DC space while offering them the on-going support they need for whatever comes tomorrow.
With the rising number of IP-based devices, enterprise customers can expect to see significant Data Center market changes as the need to transmit, store and access more information increases. Post COVID also there is increased push for connectivity, and data consumption has increased exponentially. IoT, IIoT, Power Over Ethernet (PoE), Smart city initiatives and connected building technology is fueling the growth of Smart buildings and automation. The Director of Sales & Marketing IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa) for Siemon, Prem Rodrigues says. "As the industry continues to grow, Siemon is well positioned to serve the needs of both data centres and intelligent buildings along with this increased demand for cloud and colocation services. Through our ground breaking products, expertise, and partnerships, we are prepared to take a leadership position in India's Data Center and Intelligent Building market while playing an important role in India's digital growth".
Exceptionally Engineered Products
Siemon's current focus is providing high quality, high performance IT copper & fiber cabling, cable management systems & services to Enterprise, Colocation & Cloud Data Centers, Internet Service Providers, Local Area Networks and Intelligent Buildings. Siemon's elaborate solution portfolio consists of its Advanced Data Center solutions including category 6A and higher shielded and unshielded copper cabling systems, end-to-end single mode and multi mode fiber cabling solutions, a complete range of innovative data center cabinets and power distribution units, independently tested high speed interconnect cable assemblies, Eagle Eye Automated Infrastructure Management solution, and comprehensive data center design services.
Siemon's Converge IT cabling solution for intelligent buildings combines advanced copper and fiber cabling technology to create a unified zone cabling system that converges critical data, voice, video, and low voltage building systems providing significant cost savings and sustainability over the life of the facility. Siemon's patented jack contact design improves support of IP Power Over Ethernet (PoE) applications by preventing damage when unmating under PoE load. Moreover, its shielded category 6A and 7A cabling systems provide excellent thermal properties to dissipate the heat generated in cable bundles when running PoE applications. This reduces the need to shorten cable channels when operating 60W PoE applications in environments up to 60degrees C providing maximum design flexibility and performance.
A History of Success Driven by Unmoving Business Ethics
Siemon is known for its engineering and innovative products. Siemon began developing connecting blocks for the telegraph and fledgling telephone market well over a century ago. Yet, Siemon's laser focus on innovative communications technologies has never wavered.
