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.
