HFC Drop

Providing The Most Reliable Corrosion Protection Available In Drop Cable

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.

HFC Trunk & Distribution
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 MC 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.

HFC Headend
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.
