Outside Plant Coaxial Drop Cables for HFC Access

Our XPRESSPREP® and XPRESSPREP® Plus coaxial cables provide superior shielding performance and are tested to 1.2 and 1.8 GHz in order to meet and exceed DOCSIS 3.1 specifications.

Since 2008, CommScope has deployed billions of feet of XPRESSPREP cable. XPRESSPREP and XPRESSPREP Plus cables have an innovative foil-and-braid design that blocks unwanted signals from penetrating the RF network, allowing the signal to flow through the cable effortlessly. XPRESSPREP is suitable for all environments—both indoors and out. Where LTE interference is a concern, this drop cable delivers better than -100 dB of shielding effectiveness after extensive stress testing. XPRESSPREP Plus adds ~20 dB more shielding in the LTE band, and is recommended when specific applications like network co-locations require the extra shielding, or where the cable is exposed to extreme environmental conditions and additional shielding is desired.

With its distinctive golden foil, BrightWire® corrosion-resistant drop cables feature corrosion protection on all components—including treatment to the tape, braid and center conductor.
