Krugel Exim is a European private company founded in 1991. Today, the company has subsidiaries following in following countries: Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Argentina. Based on many years of experience in the LTA domain, they have developed their own brand - KEline. KELine has been developed by experts from the fields of research, testing and manufacture of cabling systems, and most importantly is tested in accordance with the most rigorous international, European and U.S. standards for structured cabling.

KELine, like all other major SKS producers, is offering a 25-year warranty, applied on all installations performed by certified KELine® partners and after the mandatory audit of final measurement results. The newest addition to KELine product portfolio is cooper Cat8 system and optical OM5 cables and components.

Cooper Cat8 systems enable transmission of different high-speed protocols including 25Gbase-T and 40Gbase-T (up to 30m).

In 2018 (at the moment of writing this article), KELine has more than half a million installed and officially registered ports on 1144 installations.

Copper Cabling

International standards define five cabling categories - Cat.5E, Cat.6, Cat.6A Cat.7, and Cat.8. KELine offers all of them:

- Cat5E shielded components allow for a 1Gigabit/s transmission speed, guarantee transmission of all standardized protocols up to 1000BASE-T

- Cat6 components allow for a 1Gigabit/s transmission speed, guarantee transmission of all standardized protocols up to 1000BASE-T and ensure a bandwidth of 250MHz

- Cat6a interoperable components allow for a 10Gigabit/s transmission speed, guarantee transmission of all standardized protocols including 10GBASE-T and ensure a bandwidth of 500MHz

- Cat7 cable enables transmission of all high-speed protocols including 10GBASE-T and ensures a bandwidth of 1000MHz

- Cat8 system (enables transmission of all high-speed protocols including 25Gbase-T and 40Gbase-T up to 30m)

Optical Cabling

Recent high-speed protocols for optical cabling have triggered the development of new types of optical fibers and their new categorization (OM4 & OM5). KELine, following this trend, is setting the ground for quality optical cabling by having all certifications in accordance with ISO/IEC 1180.

Cabinets

Cabinets are manufactured on fully automatic manufacturing lines with up-to-date technology for sheet metal processing. Mass produced standardized cabinets are supplied fully assembled and are defined by a single ordering code. This concept simplifies the complicated process of order specification, excludes errors and minimizes logistical costs. Standard cabinet types with different variants of front and rear door are available according to the customer’s requirements. All products are certified by international laboratories.

Key KELine system components are under constant supervision by international independent laboratories - 3P, DELTA and GHMT.
All components are certified in accordance with EN/ISO 9001:2008, ISO/IEC 11801:2017.

KELine® partner program

The KELine® partner program provides quick access to top quality products, professional installation as well as a long-term system warranty, offering an “end-to-end quality” solution including the development, production, storage, distribution, installation and certification of installed cabling. When all necessary requirements are completed, certified KELine® designers have the authority to provide a long-term warranty of 25 years to end users.
