青少年与创新？
当我们询问一所高中的IT客户她新布线的计算机实验室运行得怎么样时，她回答说：”如果我能阻止那些调皮的孩子把纸团和口香糖塞进敞开的插座里，那就太好了。” 这番话逗乐了所有人，同时也带给我们新的思考……
旧螺丝刀对网络的影响？
我们的前首席执行官Carl在参观一个大客户的数据中心时，看到一名技术人员用一把生锈的旧螺丝刀从刀片服务器上取下一根跳线。当Carl问及原因时，该技术人员回答启示了一整套新的西蒙创新系列。
“在⻄蒙，我们很荣幸能与⼀些全球最⼤的教育组织合作。我们与这些机构及其合作伙伴以及我们⾃⼰的合作伙伴体系通⼒合作，设计并提供⼀流的光纤和铜缆⽹络基础设施解决⽅案。这些⾯向未来的⽹络设施有助于教育机构及其学⽣充分发挥潜⼒，并提供⽀持、教育和激励的体验。我们感谢所有选择⻄蒙的⼈。”

下一代创新举措
适应和改变，创造更美好的未来
水坑如何引发创新？
当它被规划为一个布满传粉昆虫喜爱的本地植物的空间，可为候鸟和蝴蝶提供栖息地，并作为一个天然屏障，过滤从停车场流过来的水，再汇入附近的小溪时。西蒙总部的这个小水坑这只是启示我们进行创新环境管理的又一个例子。
刀具和竞技机器人有何共同之处？
西蒙成立于1903年，最初产品为一种创新型化合物，用于仿鹿角刀柄 – 从那时起，培养下一代创新人才就一直是我们的核心价值。这也正是我们如此自豪地支持当地高中机器人团队的原因。

A Message From Our Chief Technology Officer
We are living in a time of extraordinary change. Over the past two decades, our world has experienced powerful trends of innovation that have digitally transformed every aspect of society and business. Everything we do today relies on information and the communications infrastructures that keep people, machines, and devices connected. Given the disruptive nature of technology, those that develop the solutions for today’s data centers, intelligent buildings, and LANs simply cannot stand still and react to the change-they need to be agents of innovation.
Siemon was innovating long before the emergence of smartphones, connected IoT devices, and modern-day applications that have made our daily lives safer, more efficient, more productive, and more fun. Since my great grandfather founded this company in 1903 and entered the industry with innovations like the 3-pole connecting block that helped build the nation’s telephone system, Siemon has pioneered more than 400 patents specific to structured cabling and delivered first-to-market connectivity solutions that moved technology forward.
Today, Siemon’s long-term commitment to the industry is backed by a multi-faceted approach to innovation that is driven by more than the voice of our customers; it’s also driven by the needs of the world we live in and the belief that we can shape a better and more sustainable future for all. Please join me in celebrating our culture of innovation that continues to turn out industry-leading solutions and drive environmental stewardship.
Gum-chewing teens and innovation.
LockIT Outlet Locks
When we asked a high school IT customer how her newly-cabled computer lab was working out, she answered “It would be perfect if I could keep the darn kids from stuffing spitballs and gum into my open outlets.” We had a good laugh, but it got us thinking.
“Why isn’t there a simple, inexpensive way to protect ports against tampering?” We brought that question to the Siemon design engineering team and they took it as a challenge.
A little while later, they delivered LockIT outlet locks – an innovative, inexpensive, and easy-to-use solution for securing RJ45 and LC outlets against unauthorized connections and gum-chewing punks.
What does an old screwdriver mean to your network?
BladePatch Patch Cords and Jumpers
Carl, our former CEO, was touring a major customer data center when he saw a technician use a rusty old screwdriver to remove a patch cord from a blade server. When Carl asked why, the tech answered: “I can’t reach the cord latch with my hands in these high-density servers and switches. This is the only way I can unplug them.”
Carl, being a practical CT Yankee, thought it was silly to risk damaging a $100,000 switch over a $10 cord, and relayed his story to Siemon’s design team.
A few months of design concepts, prototypes, and customer beta tests later, we launched our innovative BladePatch line of patch cords. Featuring a patented push-pull boot-activated latch for easy access in dense environments, the BladePatch line has grown and evolved into an innovative suite of user-friendly, high-density connectivity solutions for both fiber and copper systems.
How does being agile solve supply chain issues?
High-Speed Interconnects
When the pandemic and material and labor shortages disrupted the global supply chain, data centers couldn’t get high-speed DACs to immediately bring new equipment online. We asked ourselves how we could leverage our agility and lean vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities to get these products into the hands of our customers sooner.
The answer was to expand our nearshore manufacturing capabilities in North America. But how could we cost-effectively meet demand and maintain the quality and breadth of our offering at a competitive price? The first step was to innovate the machines. Rather than the traditional process of cutting, pulling, trimming, and bending cables in four steps, Siemon engineers designed and built a new machine that does it all in seconds. The next step was to bring local labor up to speed and ensure quality with an easy-to-operate master fixture machine that maintains absolute repeatability and is followed by 100% fail safe testing on every assembly.
The result? High-quality 10, 25, 40, and 100 Gig SFP and QSFP high-speed DAC assemblies made to order in half meter lengths and multiple colors at a competitive price-and that leave our facility within 10 days.
Redefining "Light bulb" Moments in Innovation
We tend to think of the phrase “suddenly a light bulb went off in my head” as a single person experiencing a moment of inspiration or revelation of a new great idea…but what happens when a team of experts experience a number of “light bulb” moments together? You get a series of innovations that combine to shine a light on a specific set of customer challenges. You get a ground-breaking solution like Siemon’s new LightVerse™ Fiber Optic Cabling System.
LightVerse enables your data center or enterprise network to get operational quicker with higher reliability and enhanced installation flexibility. Enjoy a sleek, world-class appearance designed specifically for your technology showcase environments. Unlock the potential of your high-density fiber connectivity installations, with a system that delivers the performance, flexibility, and scalability you need now and in the future.
When is a puddle more than just a puddle?
When it is an environmental innovation
A puddle is more than just a puddle when planned space filled with native plants that attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, provides migratory songbirds with habitat, and acts as a natural barrier that filters runoff water from a parking lot before it flows into a nearby stream.
This important puddle is right here at Siemon HQ, and is just another example of our innovative approach to environmental stewardship. It may seem like a small thing, but when it comes to fulfilling our responsibility to the planet, we’ve learned that every step (big or small) towards greater sustainability makes a difference.
From 120-year old carving knives to competitive robots
5 generations of fostering innovation in the community
The Siemon Company was founded in 1903 based on our founder, Carl Siemon’s innovative plastic compound. He first used his cutting edge material and process to manufacture imitation staghorn knife handles, but he knew it could do so much more – and after a few years of persevering through the closed doors and closed minds of people unable to see his compound’s potential, he was proven right.
In 1906, Western Electric (Now AT&T) began moving away from traditional porcelain connecting blocks in favor of Siemon’s plastic compound connecting blocks. That marked the beginning of our longstanding leadership and growth in the telecommunications space. But as successful as he became, Carl never forgot what it felt like to bring an innovative idea to life. He believed in fostering the next generation of innovators in our communities, and for 5 generations, that has been a core Siemon value.
That’s why we’re so proud to support tomorrow’s innovators through program like of our local Watertown High robotics team.
We think Carl would have loved what these kids are doing.
