CommScope will now be selling connectors, adaptors, fiber enclosures, and jumpers to the enterprise network arena. The applications these components will support include networks for telecommunications, local area and data processing, premises distribution, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), security cameras and FTTX (fiber-to-the-desk, home, etc.)

"We've seen how well the structured wiring solution has worked for our copper products," said Randy Crenshaw, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Network Products. "Now we are extending the same concept to our fiber optic cables product line for the enterprise markets. Having these products available from our catalog will give our fiber cable customers the opportunity to purchase virtually all of the connection components they need from a single source."
