Berk-Tek, A Nexans Company

What Berk-Tek, A Nexans Company does

Berk-Tek, LLC is a US-based manufacturer of copper and fiber optic network cabling, founded in 1961 and headquartered in New Holland, Pennsylvania, with a second manufacturing facility in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. The company designs and produces structured cabling products for enterprise and data center environments, serving network installers, contractors, specifiers, and distribution partners primarily across North America through a channel-based go-to-market model within Leviton's distribution network.\n\nBerk-Tek's product portfolio is organized around three sub-brands: LANMARK (high-performance copper cabling including Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6A), ADVENTUM (dry loose tube fiber cabling integrated into Leviton's global OPT-X fiber systems for plenum, outdoor, and Euroclass deployments), and ARMOR-TEK (spiral-wrapped armored fiber cabling designed for durability and physical security in demanding installation environments). The portfolio also spans tight buffered, loose tube, ribbon, and armored fiber cable types. The New Holland facility is one of the largest dedicated four-pair cabling manufacturing facilities in the country, and the Fuquay-Varina fiber facility was more than doubled in 2020 through a $25 million Leviton investment.\n\nBerk-Tek generates revenue through hardware sales of its cabling products to enterprise and data center buyers via distributor, contractor, installer, and specifier channels, with pricing determined through direct sales engagement rather than public disclosure. The company was acquired by Leviton Manufacturing in 2020 and is currently being integrated into Leviton's branding starting July 2025, while preserving part numbers, performance specifications, and warranty terms.
