Providing The Most Reliable Corrosion Protection Available In Drop Cable
CommScope Brightwire XP brings together two of the most popular features in coaxial drop cable. Combining the superior dry anti-corrosion features of Brightwire® with the innovative XpressPrep™ technology, Brightwire XP provides double-barreled benefits to customer installations of drop cable by offering lower initial and long-term operational costs.
Since its introduction, CommScope's XpressPrep cable has seen rapid, wide-scale adoption by major cable MSOs. By reducing the number of steps required to prepare a tri-shield cable for connectorization, XpressPrep can significantly reduce the time normally required for cable end preparation and improves system reliability by increasing the chances of proper connectorization.
Brightwire XP and XpressPrep both meet and exceed all applicable SCTE specifications assuring customers a high performing product and full compatibility with industry standard tri-shield connectors.
CommScope makes the most widely-deployed drop cable in the world - F-6 and F-11 series 75 ohm drop cables. These products provide high quality signal transmission, faster and easier installation, and have a record of dependable service quality in virtually every geographic location worldwide.
Innovative BrightWire® anti-corrosive treatment further protects the integrity of the broadband drop plant while lowering operating and installation costs.
CommScope drops are available pre-installed in ConQuest conduit or in versions suitable for direct burial, aerial, indoor and applications where messenger cables are needed. Our high quality drop cable exceeds SCTE specifications to ensure reliable, long-life performance. All CommScope drop cable features a standard bonded tape and rugged jackets that withstand exposure to sunlight, intense temperature, and ground chemicals.
CommScope coaxial cables are specifically engineered for 75 ohm HFC broadband networks in a wide selection of sizes and constructions. Coax cable choices are determined by the application and performance requirement.
Coax Cable Shielding Options Shielding is a very important consideration in the selection of the appropriate cable construction for a given network application. To meet the various needs of our customers, CommScope’s coax line features a range of shielding options including standard shield (foil / braid), Tri-Shield (foil/braid/foil) and SuperShield (foil/braid/foil/braid).
Standard Shield - CommScope's basic cable construction of fully bonded foil with a layer of shielding braid offers world class performance within an economical design.
Tri-Shield - Based on CommScope’s standard cable construction of fully bonded foil alternated with a layer of shielding braid, Tri-Shield adds an additional surrounding layer of foil to improve transmission reliability by means of an additional interference barrier.
SuperShield (Quad Shield) – Taking the Tri-Shield construction one step further, this construction adds an additional layer of shielding braid to provide the greatest strength, durability and immunity from network interference.
CommScope offers a full range of cable sizes to meet every application.
Available F-Series Drop Cables:
F-6 Series
The industry standard workhorse, it provides ample attenuation for most drop applications up to 150 feet in length
F-11 Series
Provides low attenuations for service drops greater than 150 feet in length.
F-50 Series
Designed as a Flexible Distribution Cable for long distance drop applications or applications that require high flexibility or low attenuation.
F-59 Series
Ideal and economical approach to short drops and jumpers.
F-59 HEC
A cable in its own class, this high-end, high-performance Headend Cable (HEC) will exceed the most intense signal demands.
Cable for The Nerve Center of HFC Networks
Cable systems deliver much more than broadcast video today. Advanced cable services such as high-speed data, telephony and on-demand content are becoming increasingly popular in both consumer and business applications. These services are imperative to the competitive landscape as they provide a means for additional revenue growth and improved customer retention.
Delivering more advanced services to consumers, cable performance and integrity are critical in the network, but aesthetics and the ease of identifying cables are important too. Along with cable identification, inventory management is simplified when you specify CommScope Headend cable.
F59 Interconnect Signal Processing Cables for Headend Equipment
This quad-shielded product offers superior signal protection.
Bundled F-59 Headend Cable - Both a Time Saver and Cost Reducer
Aesthetics and performance are improved with CommScope Bundled Headend Cable featuring up to eight individual cables housed within a single jacket. A complete line of high-capacity digital media access cables is offered for maximum performance and protection in flame retardant outer jackets.
QR Low-Loss Downlink Cable
Superior attenuation characteristics provide a longer downlink to headend connections
Craft-friendly – flexible, easy to pull and connectorize.
Precision Video Cable
These professional-grade cables are engineered for critical digital and audio applications. With high bandwidth and low-loss, CommScope’s Precision Video Cables are perfect for the exacting signal requirements of HDTV, High Speed Data, and Digital Video. A high level of shielding prevents unwanted signal interference and preserves signal clarity even over long distances.
Setting New Standards in Cable Technology for Over 30 Years
Providing customers with a better path for bi-directional digital
systems, CommScope offers longer life expectancy and superior electrical/mechanical
performance in hardline cables designed to withstand all kinds of
environmental elements. CommScope QR® , P3®
and now MC2® 75 ohm coaxial cables are fully bonded
and engineered to withstand jacket damage and corrosion.
Installers resoundingly favor CommScope's craft-friendly
trunk cable citing its ease of installation. This easy-install comes
from a standard Advanced Coring Technology® (ACT)
found only in CommScope T&D coax cable – QR & P3.
QR – More Miles for Your Money
CommScope's patented QR was developed to meet the increasing
demands of broadband networks. QR has the highest reliability and
flexibility of any coaxial cable, low RF attenuation and an unprecedented
10 year warranty. For the ultimate protection of underground plant,
CommScope offers three standard QR sizes (540, 715 and 860)
preinstalled in ConQuest Conduit.
Here's why leading broadband service providers around the world
standardize on QR as the broadband coaxial transmission cable of
choice:
For less money, QR 75 ohm coax cables deliver better electrical
and mechanical performance than more expensive traditional cables:
QR coax cables benefit from an engineered connector system
that creates a "Triple Grip" on the cable (center
conductor, shield and jacket). This system provides the simplest,
quickest and most consistent connector installation yielding
extremely high reliability.
Creatively deployed, QR can reduce the number of actives
required in a system to save you even more money.
P3 – CommScope's legacy P3 has been successfully deployed for decades
in broadband networks. P3 is renowned for ease of use and robust
performance and has become the standard by which other cable types
are measured. P3 is available in a variety of jacket configurations
for every possible application, and only CommScope distribution
cables come with ACT, which makes preparation for connectors a breeze.
For the ultimate protection of underground plant, CommScope
offers four standard P3 sizes (500, 625, 750 and 875) preinstalled
in ConQuest Conduit.
MC2 – CommScope now offers MC2 disc-and-air dielectric coaxial distribution
cable in addition to our traditional foam dielectric lines. MC2
offers the lowest available attenuation in the smallest diameter
cable, thereby maximizing duct efficiency and/or minimizing HFC
plant active requirements. Fully bonded performance and a
variety of jacket configurations make MC2 a flexible alternative.
Like all CommScope distribution products, MC2 500, 650 and
750 are available preinstalled in ConQuest Conduit.
