April 18, 2008 RICHARDSON, Texas

CommScope Enterprise Solutions, a division of CommScope, Inc. (NYSE:CTV), announces the release of its SYSTIMAX® InstaPATCH Cu cabling solution for data center environments in the North America (NAR) and Caribbean and Latin American (CALA) regions. The SYSTIMAX InstaPATCH Cu Solution is designed to provide a hassle-free installation in a fraction of the time required by traditional implementation methods. To better meet the goal of this design as well as customers’ unique specifications, CommScope conducts pre-terminating, pre-testing and customizing of the copper cabling solution.

For networks utilizing Category 6 and 6A cabling, the SYSTIMAX InstaPATCH Cu Solution includes pre-measured cable, pre-terminated connecting hardware, pre-placed source-destination labels, prepared port configuration and pre-bundled cables – which support quality installations at a rapid speed. These measures help CommScope’s BusinessPartners provide customers with the intelligent network infrastructure solutions they need in the shortest time possible.

“At CommScope we understand that network infrastructures are unique, so our representatives work closely with IT managers to understand their data center and network needs,” said Mark Peterson, senior vice president, global marketing, of the CommScope Enterprise division. “Once an evaluation is complete, together with our BusinessPartners, we prepare the pre-terminated solution and test every harness and port to ensure that each component meets our highest standards. From there, our BusinessPartners are able to perform fast installations.”

The SYSTIMAX InstaPATCH Cu Solution is supported by CommScope’s 20-year commitment to performance, providing its customers with intelligent reliable solutions backed by a CommScope guarantee – a warranty unique to the industry. Additionally, CommScope will provide customers factory test reports for each harness assembly verifying the built-in performance levels of the system.

The solution is applicable in the horizontal, backbone, switch applications and throughout the data center. Source-destination labeling, pre-termination and plug-to-plug capability dramatically reduce the amount of time needed to implement a solution. This flexible harness system allows customers to select assemblies from 1 to 24 ports on each end. A special device called a SwitchPack combines multiple plug ends (4, 6, 8, 12 or 16) into a single unit which can easily be plugged into a high density switch or server at one time optimizing connection speed.

“We want to offer customers a simple, high-security installation—and we believe that the SYSTIMAX InstaPATCH Cu Solution is another CommScope innovation that provides peace-of-mind,” said Peterson. “Companies can rest assured that they’re receiving cutting-edge technology before the installation team even arrives. And when the installation team does arrive, it won’t be long before the high-performance network is fully functional and ready to go.”
