Cable-Tec Expo: CommScope Drives Fiber Deeper

CommScope said it will use this week’s show in New Orleans to trot out a new enhanced fiber wall box portfolio designed to simplify installation and reduce the cost of taking fiber deeper into both multi-dwelling unit (MDU) and single-family dwelling unit (SFU) environments.

CommScope, which will show its gear off at booths 633 and 1635, said the fiber wall boxes are tied to the company’s recent acquisition of TE Connectivity’s Broadband Network Solutions business.

Additionally, the company said its mini Rapid Fiber distribution terminal (RDT), previously only available for indoor MDU applications, is now available for outdoor use.

“CommScope recognizes the unique challenges of bringing fiber into the MDU and SFU. Service providers have targeted budgets and timelines to work with. We can help by offering products with the flexibility to adapt to a variety of building types and environments,” said Jaxon Lang, general manager and vice president, BNS, CommScope, in a statement.
