In its 100 years of business IDEAL INDUSTRIES has acquired several other companies including the LAN tester division of Acterna (formally Wavetek), and one of the leading ATM, xDSL, SDH\/Sonet, Gigabit Ethernet, and IP hand held testing equipment providers, Trend Communications, making IDEAL INDUSTRIES into the global giant it is today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">IDEAL INDUSTRIES has achieved many industry firsts and was proud to launch the market\u2019s first hand-held Cat 5 cable certifier (LANTech 100) in 1993. Since then IDEAL INDUSTRIES has released the first tester for Class F\/FA, the first dedicated tester for Cat 6A cabling, the first tester to include a tone generator and colour screen, and the first tester to have an autotest button on the remote to save time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">IDEAL INDUSTRIES Today<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Today IDEAL INDUSTRIES continues to develop the iconic products and practical technology demanded by critical industries like data communications, aerospace, electrical, wire processing, automotive, construction and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">There are now 8 companies in the IDEAL group, trading worldwide across 6 continents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Many important sectors have IDEAL INDUSTRIES to thank in part for their progress.
