HICKORY, N.C. (March 27, 2007) – CommScope, Inc., (NYSE: CTV), a world leader
in infrastructure solutions for communication networks, announces the
introduction of the next generation of technologically advanced connectors and
tools designed to improve transmission line performance. CommScope’s new
EZfit-Series™ connectors and tools are engineered to fit both smooth-wall and
corrugated transmission line cables. They are designed to fit ½”, 7/8”, 1-1/4”,
and 1-5/8” size 50-ohm cables.
“CommScope continues to be an innovative leader in connector design by taking
smooth-wall connector performance to the next level while assuring backward
compatibility with both aluminum and copper transmission line systems,” said Ted
Hally, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Carrier Solutions.
“Additionally, we believe we are the first to introduce a complete line of
universal connectors. This technology brings a new and unique dimension to the
industry by introducing a connector series that is designed for all 50-ohm
coaxial cable applications.”
Compared to B-Series connectors, the new EZfit Series connectors and tools
are lighter in weight, more corrosion resistant and more compact in design for
easier handling during installation. The EZfit Series requires less torque to
properly tighten the connector to the cable. Based on engineering
specifications, CommScope expects its new connectors and tools to offer several
key advantages including lower connector insertion loss and improved return loss
for higher-performance cable systems.
Installers can reduce inventory and cut down on spare parts as a result of
the cross compatibility and design flexibility the EZfit Series offers. As with
all CommScope connectors, there is a tight seal to prevent water ingress and
consequently reduce downtime and maintenance over the site’s entire life cycle.
