CommScope Introduces New Two-Piece Connector for Wireless
Transmission Line Systems New patent-pending design reduces
installation time, improves reliability and enhances performance
HICKORY, N.C., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CommScope, Inc.
(NYSE:CTV), a world leader in cable and connectivity solutions,
today announced a new two-piece connector that improves
transmission performance while reducing on-site termination time.
The new 1873 B-Series connector and 1873 PT cable preparation tool
are engineered to provide the most effective cable-to-connector
interface in the industry when properly installed. Both new
products are designed for 1-5/8" Cell Reach(R) cables. "We are
pleased to offer carriers and installers an improved connector
design that offers high performance and reduces craftsmanship
issues," said Ted Hally, Executive Vice President and General
Manager of CommScope Wireless and Carrier Solutions. "CommScope has
a reputation for introducing innovative products. We believe the
B-Series two-piece connector and cable preparation tool are
products that ease the work of installers and improve system
performance for operators by providing high performance and easy
connectorization in the field." The 1873 PT cable preparation tool,
which provides consistent termination and reduces on-site craft
issues, is a two-piece coring tool designed specifically for the
1873 B-Series connector. Based on published specifications, the
Company expects the new 1873 B-Series connector to offer several
key advantages including approximately 40% lower connector
insertion loss and improved return loss for a higher performance
connector. Installers are not required to remove the adhesive from
the outer conductor with the B-Series design, thus eliminating one
step of the installation process and reducing the risk of poor
connectorization resulting from damage to the outer conductor.
Compared to traditional connectors, the B-Series is also lighter,
more corrosion resistant and requires less torque to properly
tighten the connector to the cable. In addition, the B-Series
two-piece connector creates a tight seal to prevent moisture
ingress and meets the International Electrotechnical Commission
publication 529, IP68 test. Eliminating water ingress in the cable
assembly removes a major cause of cable and connector failure in
the transmission system. This reduces maintenance and downtime
costs over the life of the site. CommScope is a world leader in the
design and manufacture of 'last mile' cable and connectivity
solutions for communication networks. Through our SYSTIMAX(R)
