PART I

Item 1.    BUSINESS

ADC Telecommunications, Inc. was incorporated in Minnesota in 1953 as Magnetic Controls Company. We adopted our current name in 1985. Our world
headquarters are located at 13625 Technology Drive in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

We
are a leading global supplier of broadband network equipment, fiber optics, software and systems integration services that enable communications service providers to deliver
high-speed Internet, data, video and voice services to consumers and businesses worldwide. Telephone companies, cable television operators, Internet and data service providers, wireless
service providers and other communications service providers are building and upgrading the broadband network infrastructure required to offer high-speed Internet access as well as data,
video, telephony and other interactive multimedia services. Our product offerings and development efforts are focused on increasing the speed and efficiency of the last mile/kilometer portion of
broadband communications networks, and our product and service offerings help connect communications service providers' offices to businesses and end users' homes as well as to wireless communications
devices.

Our
customers include local and long-distance telephone companies, cable television operators, wireless service providers, new competitive service providers, broadcasters,
governments, businesses, system integrators and communications equipment manufacturers and distributors. We offer optical- and copper-connectivity components and systems, broadband access and network
equipment, software and systems integration services to our customers through the following two segments of product and service offerings:



Broadband
Infrastructure and Access focuses on Internet Protocol (IP)-based offerings for the cable industry, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) offerings for the communications equipment
industry, and optics and broadband connectivity products for a variety of communications network applications. Integrated Solutions focuses on software and systems integration services.

Broadband Infrastructure and Accessproducts consist of:



Connectivity
devices assist in the installation, testing, monitoring, accessing, managing, reconfiguring, splitting and multiplexing of communications systems channels within service providers'
serving offices and the last mile/kilometer portion of communications networks. These products include broadband connection and access devices for copper, coaxial cable, optical, wireless and
broadcast communications networks and also include passive and active optical components. Access and transport systems deliver broadband, multiservice communications to consumers and businesses over
copper, coaxial cable and optical networks. Broadband Infrastructure and Access products are used throughout the world in telephone, cable television, Internet and wireless communications networks to
deliver Internet, data, video and voice services to businesses and consumers.

Integrated Solutionsproducts and services consist of systems integration services and operations support systems (OSS) software for
broadband, multiservice communications over wireline and wireless networks. Systems integration services are used to design, equip and build communications networks that deliver Internet, data, video
and voice services to consumers and businesses. OSS software includes

communications provisioning, activation, billing, customer management, network performance and service-level assurance software used by service providers to operate communications networks.

Industry Background

We believe that broadband, multiservice communications networks represent a key enabling capability for meeting the information needs of businesses and consumers
around the world. The rapid growth of the Internet has driven the need for broadband network infrastructure. We believe consumers
increasingly find dial-up modem speeds unacceptable for current Internet and Web-based applications. Further, we believe that new or future applications such as digital video
and audio programs, wireless Internet access, video conferencing from personal computers, video e-mail, video on demand, distance learning, telemedicine and high-speed imaging
will drive even more people to use broadband communications services. We believe that the global deregulation of communications markets is transforming traditional communications service providers
into integrated communications providers. Traditional communications service providers offer only a limited selection of Internet, data, video or voice services, each on a separate network connection
and a separate customer bill. Integrated communications providers operate broadband, multiservice networks that offer faster, more cost-effective and integrated Internet, data, video and
voice services over a single high-speed network connection while sending only one bill for all of the services the customer uses. Due to deregulation, communications service providers now
compete for customers by offering bundles of different communications services over cost-effective networks. As a result of competition among communications service providers to obtain and
retain customers with bundled services, we believe there is a large potential global market for fiber optics, broadband access and network equipment, software and systems integration services to build
and upgrade broadband, multiservice networks.

Marketplace Conditions

Our operating results during fiscal 2001 were affected adversely by the downturn in general economic conditions, particularly in the communications equipment
industry. In this economic environment, many of our communications service provider customers have deferred capital spending, reduced their telecommunications equipment purchases, and announced plans
to further reduce capital expenditures in fiscal 2002. The effect of these developments has been most pronounced in the U.S. market. As a result of these economic conditions, we expect that our future
net sales will not grow at rates experienced prior to fiscal 2001. If the current economic conditions in the United States do not improve, or if the global economic slowdown worsens, we may continue
to experience adverse effects on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our
ability to grow our business is dependent on our ability to develop and commercially introduce new products successfully and on the growth of the communications equipment and
services market. The communications equipment industry is highly competitive, and we cannot guarantee that our new or enhanced products and services will meet with market acceptance or be profitable.
Growth in the market for broadband communications products and services depends on a number of factors, including the availability of capital to communications service providers, the amount of capital
expenditures by communications service providers, new and revised regulatory and legal requirements, and end-user demands for Internet, data, video, voice and other communications
services.

Our
operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to many factors, including but not limited to uneven or changing capital spending by our customers and the
timing of significant capital expenditures, and results of operations described in this Form 10-K may not be indicative of results to be achieved in future periods. As a result of our growth in
past periods, our expenses had increased substantially as we entered fiscal 2001. Throughout fiscal 2001, we implemented a cost restructuring plan through which we took steps to reduce operating
expenses and capital spending as it became evident our industry was entering a prolonged economic downturn. Our

3

---

cost-saving actions included the sale of non-strategic product lines, the disposition of certain assets and a consolidation of facilities as well as reductions in our employee
base, elimination of contractor positions and unreplaced attrition, which reduced our workforce by approximately 46.4%. Despite these actions, if we are unable to meet expected revenue levels in any
particular quarter, there may be a material adverse impact on our operating results for that period because we may not be able to further reduce our expenses rapidly enough to compensate for reduced
revenue levels. Our expense levels are based in part on our expectations of future revenues. Although management has and will continue to take measures to adjust expense levels, if revenue levels in a
particular period fluctuate, operating results may be adversely affected. Furthermore, we expect that gross margins may decline due to lower sales volumes, potentially heightened price competition,
increasing levels of service revenues as a percentage of total revenues, higher inventory obsolescence and reserve charges, ongoing introduction of new products for new high-growth
markets, and changes in channels of distribution or in the mix of products sold. Additional reductions in gross margins may occur if product or related warranty costs are greater than we have
experienced in the past.

As
part of our restructuring initiative in fiscal 2001, we sold non-strategic product lines in cable/broadcast TV transmission, broadband wireless transmission, enterprise
access products, wireless components, phase masks and enhanced services software, and closed down our Cellworx® transport product line. These products accounted for approximately
$368.8 million in net sales in fiscal 2001 but did not meet our growth, profitability and market leadership criteria. As a result of these sales and closures, we recorded
non-recurring restructuring charges in fiscal 2001. These charges reflect management's estimate of the overall impact of decisions and actions taken with respect to these product lines.
Actual final restructuring charges may differ from management's estimates and may result in additional charges or credits to our future operating results.

Our
results of operations normally are subject to seasonal factors. We historically have experienced a stronger demand for our products during the fourth fiscal quarter ending
October 31, primarily as a result of customer budget cycles and our fiscal year-end incentives, and have experienced a weaker demand for our products during the first fiscal quarter
ending January 31, primarily as a result of the number of holidays in late November, December and early January and a general industry slowdown during that period. There can be no assurance
that these historical seasonal trends will continue in the future. For instance, due to the economic downturn in the communications equipment and services market during fiscal 2001, this historical
trend was not evident in fiscal 2001. A more detailed description of the risks to our business related to seasonality, along with other risk factors associated with our business, can be found in
Exhibit 99-a to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As
used in this report, fiscal 1999, fiscal 2000, fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002 refer to our fiscal years ended October 31, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Strategy

Our strategy is to capitalize on opportunities in the global communications market created by the deployment of broadband, multiservice networks. Communications
service providers intend to serve their consumer and business customers with broadband, multiservice networks that offer faster, more cost-effective and integrated Internet, data, video
and voice services. Our broad range of products and services address key areas of the communications network infrastructure. Our products and services are used to design, build and upgrade networks,
connect and access networks, transport Internet, data, video and voice services over communications service networks, and provide operations support system (OSS) software to operate communications
networks. Our many product and service offerings address the diverse needs of a customer base that includes local and long-distance telephone companies, cable television operators,
wireless service providers, Internet and data service providers, other communications service providers, broadcasters, enterprises, governments, system integrators and communications equipment
manufacturers and distributors.

During
fiscal 2001, we restructured our business. This restructuring was precipitated largely by the general downturn in economic conditions in the communications equipment industry. The
goal of our restructuring has been to position us for profitable growth in the most critical market segments for the profitable deployment of broadband networks and services. In connection with this
restructuring, we undertook several steps to streamline our operations and more acutely focus our business on strategic products and global customer satisfaction. We completed an extensive review of
our existing product and service offerings. Through this review we identified four key future growth areas: optics, IP cable, DSL and software. We also renewed our commitment to two of our historic
core businesses: broadband connectivity systems and systems integration services. We then either divested or closed product and service offerings that were not included within the four key future
growth areas or the two historic core businesses. In addition to streamlining our operations to focus on strategic products, we also have reorganized our sales, marketing and customer service
organizations to serve our customers more effectively with custom-tailored solutions spanning the breadth of our products and services, in contrast to our historical approach of presenting only a
narrow set of products or services. We also will provide members of our sales and customer service organizations with primary responsibility for specific customers for all of our product and services
offerings. Our intent through this reorganization is to help our customers be successful by understanding and being responsive to their needs, and working collaboratively with them to provide
cost-competitive, scalable and custom-tailored solutions that create competitive advantages in broadband communications.

In
our restructured company, key components of our long-term strategy include:



Focus on Opportunities Related to Broadband, Multiservice Networks.Global deregulation, the rapid growth of the Internet and
increasing consumer and business demands for broadband communications have created significant global opportunities to build and upgrade broadband, multiservice networks. Telephone companies, cable
television operators, Internet and data service providers, wireless service providers and other communications service providers are building the broadband communications infrastructure required to
offer high-speed Internet access, data, video, voice and other interactive multimedia services to consumers and businesses. Because broader network bandwidths continually are required for
these services, we believe that building and upgrading broadband, multiservice networks to serve consumers and businesses presents one of the greatest market growth opportunities in the communications
industry today. We are focusing our development and marketing resources on fiber optics, network equipment, software and systems integration services that will enable communications service providers
worldwide to serve their consumer and business customers with broadband, multiservice networks that offer faster, more cost-effective and integrated Internet, data, video and voice
services.

Leverage Our Technological Capabilities Across Our Various Product Groups.We have developed substantial expertise in
fiber-optic, copper, coaxial cable, wireless, Internet Protocol and broadband infrastructure and transport technologies, software products and systems integration services. We have built these core
competencies through internal development, acquisitions and technology licensing arrangements. Our strategy is to leverage our core competencies effectively across all of our product and service
offerings in order to provide our customers new products with enhanced features, functions, cost effectiveness and network management tools for their evolving Internet, data, video and voice service
offerings. This strategy also allows us to offer our customers custom-tailored solutions that

5

enable them to scale network offerings, more fully automate operations and accelerate service and revenue growth.

Increase Our Global Market Penetration.We believe that significant growth for our products and services will occur outside
the United States as a result of global deregulation, substantial expansion or enhancement of communications services by many foreign countries, and the global expansion of multinational
communications service providers. Our strategy is to grow our international business by increasing our international sales and marketing resources, offering integration services in areas outside North
America, leveraging our existing customer relationships, developing additional international distribution channels and seeking strategic alliances and acquisitions. We have established our presence in
international markets with manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, sales and technical support offices and systems integration capabilities to serve our customers outside the United States.

Expand Our Development Through Acquisitions, Alliances and Internal Efforts.Due to the dynamic nature of the communications
equipment industry, we have sought and intend to continue to seek alliances and acquisitions that will:



Our
ability to implement our strategy effectively is subject to numerous uncertainties, many of which are described in Exhibit 99-a to this
Form 10-K. We cannot assure you that our efforts will be successful.

We believe that our future success depends on our ability to adapt to the rapidly changing communications environment, to maintain our significant expertise in
core technologies and to continue to meet and anticipate our customers' needs. We continually review and evaluate technological changes affecting the communications market and invest in
applications-based research and development. As part of our long-term strategy, we intend to continue an ongoing program of new product development that combines internal development
efforts with acquisitions, strategic alliances and licensing or marketing arrangements relating to new products and technologies from sources outside ADC.

In
recent years, increasingly significant portions of new communications equipment purchased by public network providers and private network customers have employed optical transmission,
digital, semiconductor, wireless and broadband copper-based technologies. In the future, we believe that these purchasing trends will include IP technology and increasingly sophisticated,
software-intensive OSS and
network management systems. As a result, our internal and external product development activities are primarily directed at the following areas:



New
product development often requires long-term forecasting of market trends, the development and implementation of new processes and technologies and a substantial capital
commitment. Due to the uncertainties inherent in each of these elements, we cannot assure you that we will develop any new products on a timely basis or at all. Moreover, we cannot assure you that any
new products we develop will achieve market acceptance.

Competition

Competition in the communications equipment industry is intense, and we believe that our competition may increase substantially with an increased deployment of
broadband networks and the implementation of regulatory changes. Many of our foreign and domestic competitors have more extensive engineering, manufacturing, marketing, financial and personnel
resources than we have. In addition, rapid technological developments within the communications industry have resulted in frequent changes among our group of competitors. Currently, our primary
competitors include:

We
believe that our success in competing with other communications product manufacturers depends primarily on the following factors:



Although
the market for our products historically has not been characterized by significant price competition, we may face increasing pricing pressures from current and future competitors in some or
all of the markets for our products.

We
believe that technological change, the increasing addition of Internet, data, video and voice services to integrated broadband, multimedia networks, continuing regulatory changes and
industry consolidation or new entrants will continue to cause rapid evolution in the competitive environment of the communications equipment market. At this time it is difficult to predict the full
scope and nature of this evolution. So long as capital is accessible, we believe that the rapid technological changes that characterize the communications equipment industry will continue to make the
markets in which we compete attractive to new entrants. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and the loss of market share. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to compete successfully with existing or new competitors or that competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

We manufacture a wide variety of products that are fabricated, assembled and tested in our own facilities or in subcontracted facilities in the United States. In
an effort to reduce costs and improve customer service, we also utilize production facilities outside the United States in addition to sourcing key components and raw materials outside the United
States. The manufacturing process for our electronic products consists primarily of assembly and testing of electronic systems built from fabricated parts, printed circuit boards and electronic
components. The manufacturing process for our connectivity products is completely vertically integrated and consists primarily of fabrication of jacks, plugs and
other basic components from raw materials, assembly of components and testing. Our sheet metal, plastic molding, stamping and machining capabilities permit us to configure components to customer
specifications, provide competitive lead times and control production costs. Optical components also are produced through our vertically integrated processes, including semiconductor wafer
fabrication, performance and environmental testing, packaging and automated production stations.

We
purchase raw materials and component parts from several suppliers. These purchases consist primarily of copper wire, optical fiber, steel, brass, nickel-steel alloys, gold, plastics,
printed circuit boards, solid state components, discrete electronic components and similar items. Although many of these items are single-sourced, we have experienced no significant difficulties to
date in obtaining adequate quantities. These circumstances could change, however, and we cannot guarantee that sufficient quantities or quality of raw materials and component parts will be as readily
available in the future or, if available, that we will be able to obtain them at favorable prices.

Proprietary Rights

We own a number of U.S. and foreign patents relating to our products. These patents, in the aggregate, constitute a valuable asset. We do not believe, however,
that our business is dependent upon any single patent or any particular group of related patents.

We
have registered the initials "ADC" alone and in conjunction with specific designs as trademarks in the United States and various foreign countries.

Employees

As of October 31, 2001, we employed approximately 12,000 people. During the restructuring of our business in fiscal 2001, we reduced our number of
employees by approximately 11,500 through involuntary workforce reductions, unreplaced attrition and the elimination of contractor positions. Reductions due to the divestiture of business units were
offset effectively by the number of employees we gained through our acquisitions of CommTech Corporation and France Electronique S.A.'s telecom systems integration business, which were completed in
fiscal 2001. We consider relations with our employees to be good.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The foregoing discussion and the discussion contained in Exhibit 13a to this Form 10-K contain various "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent our
expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including the following:



We
caution that any forward-looking statements made by us in this report or in other announcements made by us are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These include, without limitation:

We
disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 2.    PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters are located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. We lease our corporate headquarters facility pursuant to an operating lease agreement with a
term expiring in 2004. Our corporate headquarters comprise approximately 500,000 square feet.

We
own or lease manufacturing, distribution and office facilities in several countries around the world, including the United States, Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, Mexico, Sweden and
the United Kingdom. We also own and lease a variety of other facilities for our manufacturing, development, distribution, warehousing, sales and other activities. These facilities, which include sales
offices, are located in various countries, including the United States, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy,
Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Venezuela.

We
believe that the facilities used in our operations and currently in development are suitable for their respective uses and adequate to meet our current needs. During fiscal 2001 we
took steps to reduce and consolidate our facilities in response to the downturn in general economic conditions, particularly in the communications equipment industry. In April 2001, we had
active space and irrevocable commitments to activate space totaling approximately 8.3 million square feet. Through the sale or subleasing of facilities, the placement of sites on inactive
status or the disposition of facilities through the divestiture of business units, we presently maintain approximately 4.8 million square feet of active space.

Item 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a defendant in various suits, claims, proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. At this time, we cannot determine our
total aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact of these matters. Therefore, we do not know whether these actions, suits, claims, proceedings and investigations will, individually
or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We intend to vigorously defend these actions, suits, claims, proceedings and
investigations.

Item 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.
