| HICKORY, N.C., March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CommScope,
Inc., (NYSE: CTV) a world leader in cable and connectivity
solutions for communication networks, today announced the
development and introduction of the next generation cable design
for its Wireless Transmission Line System. Xflex(TM) is an
evolutionary step forward in 50-ohm aluminum cable design and
offers carriers superior performance, reliability and lower life
cycle costs over the life of a wireless network compared to
traditional corrugated cable systems.
"We believe the new Xflex provides the highest performance
levels and reliability in the industry even when tested under
extreme conditions," said Ted Hally, Executive Vice President and
General Manager of CommScope Wireless and Carrier Solutions. "Xflex
is another example of how CommScope gives our customers cable
alternatives that benefit their network performance and reliability
through lower life cycle costs, innovative design and better
technology.
"Now that Extremeflex(TM) aluminum cable is achieving acceptance
in the wireless market, CommScope is introducing Xflex, which is
the next generation of aluminum cable," Hally explained. "For over
30 years, Multiple System Operators in the cable TV broadband
markets have enjoyed the performance, flexibility and long-term
reliability of aluminum coaxial cable systems. In a 50-ohm cable
world dominated by copper coaxial cable systems, Xflex offers
operators a proven choice to conventional copper systems."
Xflex aluminum smooth wall foam dielectric cables are available
in 1/2", 7/8" and 1-1/4" sizes. Based on published specifications,
the Company believes Xflex will provide an 11% improvement in
system attenuation compared to a typical 1-1/4" copper corrugated
application, and a 9% improvement in system attenuation compared to
a typical 7/8" copper corrugated application. In addition, Xflex
cables are fully backward compatible with CommScope's complete line
of wireless system connectors, tools and hardware accessories.
