DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-47590) (the “Registration Statement”) of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. (the “Company”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2000 (the “Filing Date”). The Registration Statement registered 57,711,057 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the “Securities”), to be offered or sold by the selling shareholders named therein. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company agreed to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective for a period commencing on the effective date thereof and terminating 12 months after the Filing Date, which period would automatically be extended solely for those selling shareholders whose sales of Securities would otherwise be limited by the volume limitations imposed by Rule 144(e)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and which extension would terminate on the earlier to occur of (A) the date on which such selling shareholders were able to sell their Securities under the provisions of Rule 144 without such volume limitations limiting their ability to sell and (B) 24 months after the Filling Date (the “Effective Period”); provided that, the Effective Period would, in all events, terminate at such time as all the Securities covered by the Registration Statement had been sold. Because the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement effective, in accordance with the undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement (pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to remove from registration all Securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
