    Test Reports -A Higher Standard for Higher Speeds

    Every reel of CommScope fiber optic cable is subjected to

    stringent testing throughout the entire manufacturing process.

    Our state-of-the-art process controls and testing systems ensure

    that every meter of CommScope cable consistently meets orexceeds our high standards.

    To prove that our fiber optic cables

    exceed industry standards, we go to the

    extra step of attaching an individual

    cable test report to each reel. In addition

    to the paper copy of the test reports, we

    also offer WebTrak, a web program

    that puts cabling factory results on-line

    for all of our fiber optic cables. It is

    our understanding that sometimes this

    critical test information is misplaced ornever makes it to the end-user. With WebTrak, it is easy to find

    that important paperwork; CommScopes web interface puts

    factory testing reports for individual cables on-line for 24 hour

    immediate access.

    The patented and trademarked WebTrak program resides

    on our commscope.com website for quick access from any

    computer. For access to the electronic test reports, all the

    installers need is the 11

    digit serial number printed

    on the cable jacket and a

    footage or meter markerfor reference. Installers can then enter this number on the

    WebTrak portion of the CommScope website and pull up the

    cables factory test results from anywhere in the world at any

    time of the day or night.

    Provides documentation of CommScope fiber optic cable

    performance, allowing a convenient way to track a reel of

    cable and verify performance.

    Provides an alternative to managing paper reports. With

    WebTrak, you can get all the information you need on-line.

    Provides quick verifications to ensure the product meets

    or exceeds performance requirements, should there be aperformance issue in the field.

    Provides easy 24/7 access via the internet.

    WebTrak is just one more example of how CommScope listens

    to our customers and delivers. You get proof-positive that

    the cable you purchase will perform to the level you require.

    Remember, a network is only as good as the cable that connects

    it. Specify the cables that make networks work fiber optic

    cables from CommScope.

    CommScope Outside Plant CablesRobust Dielectric and Armored Constructions

    All CommScope Outside Plant (OSP) cables are

    designed and manufactured to provide outstanding

    mechanical and optical performance. This cable family

    includes a loose tube construction to provide multiple

    levels of protection for the fiber strands. We manufacture

    all loose tube cables with appropriate Excess FiberLength (EFL) to ensure, that when properly installed, the

    fiber strands will remain strain-free, which is essential to

    good optical performance and longevity. Our heavy-

    duty products are engineered to withstand the rigors of

    environmental extremes.

    There are many cable choices when considering

    applications that require environmental protection

    and provide for network diversity. CommScope cable

    surpasses requirements in the aerial, underground and

    conduit applications. We offer self-support cable for

    aerial environments and cable-in-conduit or armoredcables for extra protection in burial applications.

    CommScope manufactures cables that are lightweight,

    flexible and especially suited for aerial cable installations.

    Our loose tube cables are available in armored and all-

    dielectric versions.

    OSP Fiber Optic Cable Design Options Include:

    Drop - a small, lightweight Central Tube cable designed for

    use when space is at a minimum; features a robust PBT

    buffer tube and is available in fiber counts up to 12

    Central Tube - armored and dielectric construction forpoint-to-point installations in counts up to 48 arranged in

    easy-to-handle color-coded subunits of 12 fiber each

    Stranded Loose Tube - for direct buried, underground

    conduit and aerial installations; design variations range

    from all-dielectric to armored constructions with up to

    576 fibers

    Dry Loose TubeCraft friendly product solutions are a foremost requirement

    in todays fast paced world. CommScope engineers are

    committed to offering evolutionary improvements and easy-to-handle constructions in our fiber product offering. The

    latest example is our new Dry Loose Tube cable design. This

    family of gel-free stranded loose tube cables uses all-dry water

    blocking technology and reduced diameter buffer tubes. The

    design is completely gel-free, yet provides full water blocking

    protection for outside plant applications and meets all of the

    requirements for outside plant cable.

    Arid-Core Moisture Barrier

    CommScope defeats moisture with a unique multi-level

    approach. In addition to tough outer jacketing, we employArid-Core, a super-absorbent polymer technology. Arid-Core

    is applied between the jacket and the buffer tubes in stranded

    loose tube cables, and coats the central tubes of drop armored

    and central tube cables. When moisture meets Arid-Core,

    the polymer swells to prevent moisture migration - it acts as a

    mechanical block to prevent further water penetration.

    Drop CablesCommScopes Drop family of cables offer craft friendly access

    product solutions for Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) applications

    designed for use as systems develop commercial services andexpand networks to non-traditional customers. The design of

    drop cables compliments the needs often found for the last

    mile of your fiber network. Drop cables offer a compact,

    flexible and cost-efficient configuration that provides low-loss

    performance when twelve fibers or less are needed. Drop

    cables are commonly used to branch from the main cable

    route to outlying distribution points or the premise. All drop

    cables can be pre-installed in conduit.CommScope OSP fiber optic cables are designed to meet or exceed therequirements of Telcordia, EIA/TIA, REA/RUS, IEC and RUS industry standards.
