While electrical performance is critical, we believe the physical
properties of the cable are also important. Ultra II utilizes CommFlex™
jacketing to improve pulling, handling and stripping. Coextruded stripes
and 1,000 to 0 footage markings simplify traceability and termination.
In addition, its industry accepted round design does not require special
connectors or additional labor. Easier installations = lower costs.

Fiber Optic
Taking Category 5e a step further, DataPipe is a 200 MHz cable
developed for simultaneous bi-directional transmission over 4-pairs.
Improvements to Category 5e were made and additional electrical
requirements such as ISO/IEC 11801 input impedance were added.
Typical applications include those of Category 5e and full duplex
encoding schemes such as gigabit Ethernet. CommScope's Category
5e DataPipe cable features a Commflex jacket to reduce friction
during installation resulting in less strain on the twisted pairs.

CommScope Fiber Optic Cables
AB
Proven Quality and Performance
Twisted Pair
In the past thirty years, fiber optic cables have evolved from a laboratory novelty to become an
indispensible necessity on the communication superhighway. Fiber optic superior bandwidth
and versatility makes it the transmission medium of choice for a variety of communication
applications.
REGISTERED
Fiber
Fiber Optic
Optic
Bearing this versatility in mind, CommScope has developed three families of fiber optic cables to be used
anywhere in the communication hierarchy: Outside Plant, Indoor/Outdoor and Premise.
Outside plant cables for standard and rugged environments
Residential
For direct buried, underground duct and aerial installations, CommScope offers several designs, which
include a variety of loose tube cables, from all dielectric to heavy duty moisture-resistant, double armored
and triple-jacketed cables. Design options include: Drop Armored, a smaller, lighter weight cable for use
when space is at a minimum; Central Tube for point-to-point installations; Stranded Loose Tube and
pavement cables. Any of these cables may be pre-installed in high-strength OSP conduit.
Indoor/outdoor cables for strength and safety (including zero-halogen types)
Central Office
CommScope’s design for these hybrid application cables offer construction and jacketing suitable for
outside usage yet comply with NEC/CEC riser (OFNR) flame standards. This design allows you to run
cable through the building entrance without having to terminate or splice different cables together which
results in significant savings in time and labor. Cable types include Central Tube designs, standard and
heavy-duty stranded loose tube riser and plenum cables and Triathlon, a specially designed lowsmoke/zero halogen distribution and cordage cables.
Coaxial
Premises cables for safety and performance
CommScope’s premises cables are designed to handle the stresses of indoor applications. Along with
riser and plenum rated distribution, breakout and cordage cables, CommScope also offers
heavy-duty distribution and cordage that provide additional fiber protection.
Fiber Optic Components
Industrial
CommScope offers an innovative line of optical components for premise and outside plant applications. This product line includes connectors, adapters, enclosures, panels, fanouts, closures and
jumpers.
Test reports - a higher standard for higher speeds
Conduit
Every reel of CommScope fiber optic cable is subjected to stringent testing throughout the entire
manufacturing process. Our state-of-the-art process controls and testing systems insure that
every foot of CommScope cable consistently meets or exceeds our high standards.
Packaging
To prove that our fiber optic cables exceed industry standards, we go to the extra step of
attaching the individual cable test report to every reel. You get proof-positive that the cable
you purchase will perform to the level you require.
Glossary/Index
Remember, a network is only as good as the cable that connects it. Specify the cables that allow networks
to communicate; fiber optic cables from CommScope.

Hybrid Cables
Featuring Combinations of Coax, Fiber and/or Unshielded Twisted Pair
Twisted Pair
Structured cabling is a continually growing facet of telecommunications. In an effort to provide
connectivity for all necessary services, hybrid cable designs are becoming the choice to easily
install numerous cables to each outlet for cable television, HDTV,
computer networking, multi-line telephone service, security, energy
management systems, and more - all via a single cable run.
Fiber
Fiber Optic
Optic
Using our unique position as the one cable supplier manufacturing
coax, twisted pair and fiber optic cables under one roof, CommScope
employs advanced engineering technologies by manufacturing and
testing each component of a hybrid cable simultaneously.
Residential
CommScope offers true hybrid/composite cables featuring subunits
contained within a single jacket. Our constructions offer the additional
protection of an outside jacket compared to designs offered by many
vendors that are merely a bundle of subunits wrapped together with a
special tape or binder thread - frequently called “speed pull”.
CommScope hybrid cables are constructed from subunits carefully
selected and performance-verified individually and as the sum of
individual parts.
Central Office
Special designs can be produced at your request, quickly and economically using our flexible manufacturing system. In fact, CommScope will
help define the product that best meets your specific needs. Contact any
CommScope sales representative at 800.544.1948 to discuss your application.

Robust Dielectric and Armored Constructions
Twisted Pair
All CommScope Outside Plant (OSP) cables are designed and manufactured to provide outstanding
mechanical and optical performance. This cable family uses a loose tube construction to provide
multiple levels of protection for the fiber strands.
Fiber Optic
Our heavy-duty products are engineered to withstand the rigors of
environmental extremes.
We offer several constructions, which include:
Stranded Loose Tube, using reverse oscillation stranding, in dielectric
and armored constructions, with up to 288 fibers
Residential
Central Tube, armored and dielectric up to 96 fibers arranged in
easy-to-handle color-coded 12 fiber groups
Drop, small lightweight construction to allow ease of installation
Central Office
Pavement Cable, cost effective installation which eliminates costly direction boring or trenching through a parking lot or other paved area
CommScope’s ARID-C
CORE® Moisture Barrier
Industrial
Coaxial
•No greasy flooding compound
•Speeds installation time
•Installer friendly
Moisture migration is virtually eliminated in Stranded Loose Tube cables by means of a unique
three-level approach. In addition to tough outer jacketing and gel filling within the buffer tube, we
employ ARID-CORE, a super-absorbent polymer (SAP) technology between the jacket and the buffer
tubes. When moisture meets the ARID-CORE it is absorbed, thereby eliminating water migration and
serving as a physical block ensuring long-term cable reliability in the Outside Plant.
Conduit
Meets requirements of Telcordia, ICEA, REA/RUS, and IEC industry standards. CommScope is registered
to the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard.

Indoor/Outdoor Cables (OFNR & OFNP)
Riser-Rated Designs are Rugged for Outdoor and Safe for Indoor
Twisted Pair
CommScope indoor/outdoor tight buffer cables are designed to meet the rigors of outside
plant while allowing for direct connectorization of the individual fibers,
yet meet the National Electric Code/Canadian Electric Code
(NEC/CEC) requirement of Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser
(OFNR).
Fiber
Fiber Optic
Optic
CommScope indoor/outdoor loose tube cables are a unique design they are made to withstand the typical rigors of the outside plant
environment (the buffer tubes are filled with a compound that blocks
moisture flow while protecting the fiber), yet are made of materials that
permit them to meet OFNR and OFNP requirements.
Residential
Indoor/outdoor cables allow a cable to be run from outside a building
to the inside without changing cable types, thus avoiding the extra time
and labor of an additional splice point. Their riser or plenum listing
makes this possible.
Central Office
Another technical achievement in CommScope’s indoor/outdoor
cables is the use of our ARID-CORE® dry water-blocking technology.
Instead of the traditional hard-to-clean flooding gel, ARID-CORE remains dry inside the cable.
Once exposed to moisture, ARID-CORE rapidly swells to form a gel that stops water penetration.
The result is a craft-friendly cable that reduces termination time, effort and cost.

Triathlon Low Smoke/Zero-H
Halogen (LSZH) Distribution cables of up to 72 tight buffered fibers.

Low Smoke-Zero Halogen Construction Permits Riser Use as Well
Black jackets are UV-stable for outdoor use yet meet critical NEC/CEC riser (OFNR and OFN-LS) safety standards
Riser rating eliminates splice points at the building entrance
ARID-CORE water blocking technology helps protect fibers from moisture
Low-smoke zero-halogen gives added protection to building occupants and equipment
Tight buffered construction reduces installation cost
Numbered subunits and color-coded fibers help ease installation

Premises Cables
AB
Twisted Pair
CommScope premises cables are engineered with two goals in mind - excellent mechanical/
optical performance coupled with superior fire safety ratings. These
goals are achieved in a family of cables that meet all critical NEC/CEC
requirements for riser or plenum applications while offering
resistance to installation and termination stresses.
Fiber
Fiber Optic
Optic
Our distribution cables are a perfect example of this achievement.
Subunits of 12 fibers are engineered into constructions that are up to
30% smaller in diameter and up to 50% lighter than comparable
products. The result is a compact cable that installs and terminates
easily.
Residential
Premises fiber optic cable meet or exceed performance standards
as established by Telcordia Telcordia GR-409, TIA/EIA 568B,
ICEA 83-596, ANSI X3.166-1990 & X3T9.5 PMD, FDDI, ATM,
Fibre Channel and HIPPI.

Fiber optic cable is packaged for shipment on wooden or composite reels. Each package contains only
one continuous length of cable. The packaging is
designed to prevent damage to the cable during
shipping and handling. Fiber cable reels are protected with a “reel wrap”, the highest technology available today. This wrap is stronger, lighter and more
environmentally friendly than other methods of lagging. In addition, reel wrap is simple to remove from
the reel and readily disposable. All reel sizes between
35 and 78 inches will be blocked and palletized to
help ensure safe arrival to the customer. Reels larger
than 78 inches are placed on the rolling edge and
securely fastened to the trailer during shipment.

Each reel is plainly marked to indicate the direction in
which it should be rolled to prevent loosening of the
cable on the reel.
Method of Shipment
Coaxial
CommScope’s customary method of shipment of
fiber optic cable from Claremont, North Carolina to
the purchaser’s site will vary depending on factors
such as the size and number of cable reels, and the
destination location. Shipper options include Federal
Express, UPS, BAX, LTL motor freight carriers and
CommScope’s own fleet of trucks, “Cable Transport”.
Some trucks within CommScope’s fleet are equipped
with “Cargo Master” equipment for ease in unloading cable reels on location where no loading dock is
available. CommScope has red arm Cargo Masters,
which can lift anything 2,500 pounds or less.
CommScope also has white arm Cargo Masters
which will lift anything up to 8,000 pounds that is on
an 84” reel or smaller. These specially equipped
trucks are available by request.
Industrial
Conduit
International Packaging
Packaging
Products shipped outside the continental United
States are protected with reel wrap, lagged with
wood, and blocked and palletized (for reel sizes
between 35 and 78 inches) or placed on the rolling
edge and securely fastened to international shipping
containers.

Choosing Connectivity Products
Twisted Pair
Optical connection management presents unique challenges depending on the location and conditions of the network. Consider the
following points when planning an inside plant connectivity configuration:
• On-frame or off-frame splicing
• Termination requirements: initial and growth potential
• Termination configuration: cross-connect or interconnect
• Floor space
• Bay arrangement
• Lineup growth sequence
• Connector/adapter type
• Geographic location
• Environmental factors
• Signal type from active equipment: DWDM, 40G TDM, etc.
Components
Fiber Optic
Residential
Considerations
On-Frame vs. Off-Frame Splicing
Central Office
Use on-frame splicing in the following typical situations:
• Low number of cables entering facility (with low fiber counts)
• Low number of fibers entering facility
• Limited installation space on wall, no cable vault
Coaxial
Use Off-Frame splicing in the following typical situations:
• High number of outside plant cables
• High number of fibers
• High-density solution with cable vault of space for wall installation
Cross-Connect vs. Interconnect
Industrial
Use interconnect in the following typical situations:
• No reconfiguration anticipated
• Low number of fibers entering facility
• Tight loss budget
• Limited space (e.g.hut, collocation closet, etc.)
• Low first-cost requirement
Conduit
Use cross-connect in the following typical situations:
• Reconfiguration anticipated
• High number of fibers entering facility
• Long distances between frame and fiber optic transmission equipment
• Ample working space
• Higher initial installation cost allowed

Cable Assembly Selection Guide
AB
Cable assemblies offer many advantages over field termination. With cable that is factory connectorized, overall
installation time is faster and easier, field terminations are eliminated, and performance is assured through factory
testing. Before accepting an order for cable assemblies, there are a few questions that need to be answered.
What type of cable does the application require?
Components
Fiber Optic
Premise Tight Buffer (Riser or Plenum)
Indoor/Outdoor (Distribution or Loose Tube)
Outside Plant (Stranded Loose Tube or Central Loose Tube)
What type of connectors does the application require?
Residential
Singlemode (ST, SC, LC, FC)
Multimode (ST, SC, LC, FC)
What is the length (tip-to-tip or enclosure-to-enclosure)?
Central Office
If enclosure-to-enclosure, what is the standard break out inside the enclosure?
Is the cable connectorized on one end or both? *Remember, connectors are
priced per end and the cable is easier to pull in with connector on one end
only.
Is a pulling apparatus, such as a Pulling Eye, required?
A pulling apparatus is required if connectors are on both ends and the cable
will be pulled.
Coaxial
Are there any special preparations, delivery, or packaging requirements?

Jackets
Jacket material may vary depending
on application. Plenum-rated cables
provide superior fire safety, while
flame-retardant PVC is used in riser,
general purpose and residential situations. Outdoor cables (especially those
meant for burial) are usually sheathed
in polyethylene.

Shields
Coaxial shields (also called the outer
conductor) come in several varieties.
Two types of coverage are: Foil, where
aluminum is bonded to both sides of a
polypropylene or polyester tape to provide 100% coverage and Braid where
flexible wire is woven around the
dielectric. Braid coverage designation
is given as a percentage followed by
a two letter code representing the
material of the braid (i.e. 96% BC
braid).
Dielectric
Most CommScope coaxial cables
have foamed (or cellular) dielectrics
for better velocity of propagation
characteristics. Different materials are
used to meet electrical and fire-safety
performance.

BC - Bare Copper
CCS - Copper Covered Steel

Center Conductor
Conductors in coaxial cable
are solid wire. Solid conductors
are described by their diameter

BC Twisted Pairs
Established by the telecommunications
industry association and first
published in ANSI/EIA/TIA-568 in 1991,
the Category 5 designation applies to
100Ω unshielded twisted pair cables and
associated connecting hardware whose
transmission characteristics are specified
up to 100MHz. Available from one to
twenty-five pairs, typical applications
range from voice to 155Mb/s, Fast
Ethernet, ATM, TPDDI, CDDI, TP-PMD,
100 Base T.

PE - Polyethylene
UH 58760 Category 5e Cable
Often referred to as addendum 5,
Category 5e was developed for
simultaneous bi-directional transmission
over 4-pairs. Improvements to Category 5
were made and additional electrical
requirements such as power sum NEXT,
equal level far-end crosstalk, power sum
equal level far-end crosstalk, and return
loss were added to create the 5e specification. Typical applications include those
of Category 5 and full duplex encoding
schemes such as gigabit Ethernet (1000
Base T).

Tight Buffers
CommScope premise cables
were engineered with two goals in
mind- excellent mechanical/optical
performance couples with superior
fire safety ratings. These goals are
achieved in a cable that meets all
critical NEC requirements for riser
applications while offering unique
resistance to installation and
termination stresses.

Jackets
Jacket material varies depending on how

Aramid Yarn
Tight-buffered cordage protects the fiber
with stranded aramid fibers. Loose-tube

fibers in a rugged buffering tube that
offers mechanical protection as well as
strain relief.

Glossary/Index
The telephony industry has experienced a radical change in the volume and speed of the communications it delivers. The
last decade has seen the rise of cellular phones, dedicated data lines, wide-area networks and synchronous digital transmission standards. Phone companies are expected to deliver an ever-increasing range of services with greater speed and
reliability than ever before. CommScope is a leading manufacturer of high-speed, high-bandwidth coaxial, fiber, and twisted

Series 734 and 735 telephony cables are used to
interconnect DS 3/4 transmission equipment with
digital cross-connects (DSXs).
This diagram shows the location of interconnect and
cross-connect cables within a typical telephony
office.
Interconnect coaxial cables are used to connect different devices within the central office.
Depending on the coax cable and the signal rate,
maximum cabling distances for a 734 cable at a
DS-3 rate is 900ft./274m.
Cross-Connect coaxial cables are used to
manually connect the circuits within a DSX.
Generally smaller and more flexible than their interconnect counterparts, they are designed to work
over much shorter runs. The maximum cabling distances for a 734 cross-connect cable at a DS-3 rate
is 43 ft/13 meters.

offer higher performance than coaxial cables in both
interconnect and cross-connect applications, there
are some tradeoffs in cost in upgrading, such as the
installation of required electro-optic devices.

CommScope telephony cables have been designed to meet both the requirements of small size and clear transmission. However, smaller
cable diameters generally have higher attenuation values, resulting in shorter run distances. This chart gives typical maximum run
distances at popular signal speeds for each of our interconnect cables. Your exact cabling distance may vary depending on the transmission loss budget for your network.

As well as being manufactured to strict quality and
performance standards, CommScope cables
are designed to meet or exceed safety standards as
set forth in the National Electric Code (NEC) and
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) for their intended
applications. Use of special jacketing and dielectric
materials helps maintain superior performance and
handling characteristics with no loss of safety.
RISER/LOW SMOKE-rated cables are used in vertical shafts that penetrate more than one floor AND
use special zero-halogen polymers in their jackets so
as not to emit corrosive smoke during a fire.
FIBER
CMP
OFNP
PLENUM
PLENUM-rated cables comply with the strictest
NEC/CEC standards, passing UL-910 testing for
flame-propagation and smoke density. They are
designed for use in plenums, ducts and other environmental air handling spaces.
COAX
GENERAL PURPOSE-rated cables may be used in
locations other than plenums or risers. They pass
certain UL vertical tray flame tests. Cables with a
CMG rating pass a more stringent vertical tray
flame test than those with a CM or CL2 rating.

general purpose and residential situations. Outdoor cables (especially those
meant for burial) are usually sheathed
in polyethylene.

Shields
Coaxial shields (also called the outer
conductor) come in several varieties.
Two types of coverage are: Foil, where
aluminum is bonded to both sides of a
polypropylene or polyester tape to provide 100% coverage and Braid where
flexible wire is woven around the
dielectric. Braid coverage designation
is given as a percentage followed by a
two letter code representing the material of the braid (i.e. 96% TC braid
would be 96% coverage of a Tin
Copper braid).

Dielectric
Most CommScope coaxial cables have
foamed (or cellular) dielectrics for better velocity of propagation characteristics. Different materials are used to
meet electrical and fire-safety performance.

Center Conductor
Conductors in coaxial cable are either
solid or stranded wire. Solid conductors are described by their diameter
and material (i.e.18 AWG Solid TC)
while stranded conductors include their
stranding (i.e. 20 AWG (19x32 AWG)
Strand TC).

Attenuation
Attenuation
Twisted Pair
Attenuation is the loss of electrical power as a signal travels along a cable. There are two types of losses
that affect the attenuation of a cable: loss due to conductivity of conductors (center conductor and
shield) and dielectric loss. Both losses increase with frequency.

Capacitance and Impedance
Central Office
Residential
Fiber Optic
Twisted Pair
Capacitance
Capacitance is the measurement of energy absorbed by the cable. It is caused by the difference in electrical potential of the conductors and is measured in picofarads per foot (Pf/ft). Like impedance, it is
related to the inner and outer conductor sizes and the core dielectric constant. In a given cable design,
capacitance and impedance are inversely proportional.
Capacitance is determined by the formula
7.354 Er
log10 D
ad
where E r is the dielectric constant of the cable core, D is the dielectric diameter, d is the conductor
diameter and a is the conductor stranding factor.
Impedance
Characteristic impedance is a measurement of resistance to the electrical current being carried in a
cable. It is measured in units called ohms (ZO) and is directly related to the ratio between inner conductor dimension and the outer conductor dimension, and inversely related to the dielectric constant of the
cable core. Unlike conductor resistance, impedance does not vary with cable length.
For a system to work at maximum efficiency, the nominal impedance of the transmitter, receiver and
cable must precisely match. An incorrect match will produce reflection loss.
Nominal impedance is determined by the formula Z O (W) =
138.2
D
log10
Er
ad
Industrial
Coaxial
The factors are the same as they are for capacitance above.
Phase Delay
Phase delay is caused by high frequency signals traveling faster than low frequency signals. In a carrier
band network (such as MAP), information is sent as digital code where a low-frequency tone of a certain
length means the binary bit "one" and a high-frequency tone means "zero". Because the low-frequency
tones travel slower, they have a tendency to lag behind the faster, higher frequency signals and arrive
out of phase because of this delay. If this phase delay becomes too great, the signals overlap and a type
of interference called jitter is produced.

Shield Performance
Shield performance
Twisted Pair
Braid shields are composed of thin strands of tinned or bare copper wires interwoven around the
conductors within a cable. In addition to providing excellent shielding properties, braid shields are very
flexible and add to the structural integrity of the cable.
Braid shields differ widely in their construction; braid angle, strand diameter, wire type, numbers of ends
per carrier and the number of carriers contribute to the effectiveness of the shield. Shield coverage
varies between 40% and 95% for single braids and up to 98% for double braids.
Fiber Optic
Foil/braid combination shields consist of a tinned copper or aluminum braid over an aluminum/
polyester or aluminum/polypropylene foil tape. Braid coverage varies between 40% and 95%. However,
aluminum foil coverage is 100%.
Residential
To gain greater shield effectiveness, an additional layer of foil is placed over the existing foil and braid
which produces a Tri Shield cable. The highest grade shield effectiveness is found in Quad Shield cables.
A Quad Shield coverage design consists of an aluminum foil with a 60% braid covered by an additional
foil and 40% braid.
Central Office
As shown in the graphs below, combination shields are more effective and offer better transfer
impedance properties than single braid shields. Quad shielding also offers better long term performance
because it is less effected by repeated flexing.

Structural return loss is the measure of power loss on a cable or system and is caused by discontinuities
in the cable conductor or dielectric. If these discontinuities are regularly spaced along a cable, they can
cause severe transmission losses for frequencies whose wavelengths are twice that of the distance
between these discontinuities.
Structural Return Loss, Tilt and Velocity of Propagation
Structural Return Loss
Fiber Optic
Structural return loss is an unfavorable characteristic of poorly-made cable, although careless installation can cause it as well. CommScope manufacturing lines are constantly computer-monitored to avoid
irregularities in the manufacturing process that could cause these flaws. Additionally, every reel of
CommScope coaxial cable is sweep-tested prior to shipping.
Tilt
Central Office
Residential
Another problem caused by different characteristics of low and high frequency signals is tilt. Although
they are faster, high-frequency signals tend to lose power more quickly over distance than lower frequency signals. This power loss, called attenuation, is expressed in decibels (see attenuation above for
more details) and the difference between the attenuations of the high and low frequency signals for the
entire length of an installed cable in a carrier band system cannot exceed a certain tilt factor expressed
in decibels (dB).
Tilt determines the maximum length of a
N
cable segment in a carrier band network and is determined by A - A

2
Coaxial
Coaxial
where N is the maximum allowable tilt permitted by the system, A1 is the attenuation of the high frequency signal and A2 is the attenuation of the low frequency signal.
Velocity of Propagation
Industrial
Nominal velocity of propagation is the speed of the signal in a given cable. In a vacuum, electromagnetic radiation (light, radio waves, etc.) travels at the speed of light. In a cable, it travels somewhat
slower and in direct inverse proportion to the dielectric constant; the lower the dielectric constant, the
closer to the speed of light the signal travels.
Velocity of propagation is given as a
percent figure of the speed of light and is calculated by

CommScope Industrial cables are designed to deliver optimum transmission and mechanical
Twisted Pair
performance under real-world conditions. CommScope does recommend that the cable be installed
AB
Industrial Cable Usage
correctly when dealing with electromagnetic interference (EMI), oils and chemicals, excessive heat and
physical movement, vibration and physical damage.
Excessive cable tension during installation may damage the conductors, shielding, or jacket. Minimum
Fiber Optic
bend radius for the cable should not exceed 10 times the cable OD (Outer Diameter) for copper cables and
20 times the cable OD for fiber cables. In an open ceiling installation, the cable should be supported every 3
to 5 feet. It is best to vary the support distance. Avoid installations where the cable will be crushed. Avoid
excessive weight on cables installed in tray. When installing cable in conduit, the conduit must be properly
Residential
bonded to ground (Refer to the appropriate section of the National Electric Code). The cable must meet the
listing requirements of the NEC.
Install CommScope Shielded Industrial cable with the same regard for AC power lines and other sources
Central Office
of RF and EMI as you would any other shielded cable solution. It is important to protect the cable from
physical damage. The shield must not be exposed over the cable length. Avoiding sharp surfaces is a must.
Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during installation.
CommScope all dielectric fiber cable may be installed without regard to Electromagnetic Interference.
Coaxial
Proper cable installation techniques must be applied. Do not exceed the cable’s short-term tensile load. Do
not exceed the minimum bend radius for the cable. Avoid excessive crush along with other physically
damaging conditions.

DH™ Data Highway Installations
Overview and Cabling Tips for DH+™ and Remote I/O™
DH™ Data Highway is one of the most popular methods of connecting an industrial control
network. Up to 64 stations (programmable controller/adapters or a computer) may be joined over
a Data Highway.
The Data Highway uses a twinaxial cable as both a trunk cable (the network backbone) and as
a drop cable (which connect the trunkline to the station). A trunk cable may total up to 10,000
ft/3,048 meters) in overall length, while a drop cable may not exceed 100 ft/30 meters in length.
CommScope’s 9022/4022 series twinaxial cables meet or exceed specific performance and
construction standards established by manufacturers. The standard PVC-jacketed twinax is complemented by a broad range of other styles, including those intended for armored, aerial, burial,
hi-flex, plenum and limited distance special application installations.

Data Highway Cable Connection and Termination
Two styles of connectors are offered for the Data Highway. If you frequently move stations or
reconfigure your network, use connector kits, which use soldered jacks and plugs to attach station
droplines and connect segments of trunkline. You will also need at least one terminator set, as
unterminated connections will cause signal reflection and degrade system performance.
If you rarely reconfigure your network, use station connectors, which are grounded boxes with
a screw-type terminal block for attaching the conductors.
The 1770-SC connector set comes with a 15-pin connector to attach the dropline to the
controller.

Data Highway Cable Installation Tips
CommScope 9022 series cables are designed to deliver optimum electrical and mechanical
performance under real-world conditions. However, manufacturers recommend that the cable be
isolated as much as possible from electromagnetic interference(EMI), oils and chemicals, excessive
heat/flame and physical movement, vibration and physical damage.
Electromagnetic interference can be avoided by:
• keeping the cable at least 3 ft/1 meter from electrical motors, transformers, arcs and
microwave radiation
• running DH cables at a 90° angle to all power lines
• preventing the connectors from touching conductive surfaces
• if running in conduit, making sure the conduit is well grounded along its entire length.

PLUG
CONNECTORS
JACK
CONNECTOR
TEE

Chemical and thermal problems can be avoided by:
• keeping the cable away from oil, grease, acids, strong chemicals, open flame, steam
and steam lines, boilers and equipment hotter than 60° C that might damage the cable
• water, steam or other liquids that might corrode the connectors.
Physical damage can be avoided by:
• routing the cable away from foot or vehicle traffic
• keeping away from abrasive surfaces such as concrete which may
erode the cable
• not pulling the cable through undersize conduit.
Special note: Exerting tension on the cable at any time may damage the shielding or connectors. Always allow sufficient slack during installation so as to avoid
any excessive tension.

All connections to the ControlNet trunk cable are made by taps, which may be installed
anywhere along the trunk cable and have the drop cables already attached. BNC connectors are
used to connect the taps to the trunk and link ControlNet cable segments. Only one unconnected
drop cable (usually for maintenance purposes) is permitted. If you are planning a node but have
not installed the device to which it will be attached, use a bullet connector on the trunk to reserve
its location.
The number of taps on a segment will determine its maximum length. For instance, a segment
with only two nodes can run the full 3280 ft/1000 meters. However, a segment supporting the
maximum number of 48 nodes may only run 820 ft/250 meters. Repeaters count as devices, but
not as nodes. 75W terminators must be attached to the ends of the trunk cable.
Taps, BNC connectors and terminators are available from several quality manufacturers.

5060/5061 SERIES
CONTROLNET CABLE
Twisted Pair
ControlNet™ is a real-time, 10 Mb/sec network that permits both I/O data communications
and upload/download of programming and configuration data over the same link. A ControlNet
network may consist of up to five trunk segments of up to 3280 ft/1000 meters in length. Segments
may be linked with active repeaters to form a total network length of 16400 ft/5000 meters.
ControlNet also supports a fiber optic option for even longer distances.
Depending on network length, a ControlNet system connects up to 99 nodes (with a maximum
of 48 devices per single segment). A node is a connection via a tap and drop cable to any of a
variety of ControlNet-compatible components. ControlNet also supports redundant links so that the
network will continue to operate despite a break in one of the cables.
ControlNet uses a low-loss quad-shielded coaxial cable as a trunkline. CommScope’s
5060/5061 series of coax cables is based on a time-tested design and are engineered to meet or
exceed ControlNet standards. The 5060 series is available in several configurations, including
those intended for armored, aerial, burial, hi-flex, plenum, riser and limited distance and special
application installations.
ControlNet uses a double-braid shielded coaxial cable as a dropline. CommScope’s 5065
coaxial cable is used in ControlNet droplines. Installers can also use CommScope’s 5065 coaxial
cable in shorter (limited) distance droplines that can be supported by this 24 AWG cable. In
addition, the smaller size of CommScope’s 5065 coaxial cable allows for easier installations in
limited space areas such as control cabinets.

• Keep ControlNet cable at least 5 ft/1.5 meters from
any high-voltage enclosures or sources of
RF/microwave radiation
• If you must cross power feed lines, do so at right
angles
• If used, the entire length of the conduit/wireway
must be grounded back to the enclosure.

Twisted Pair
DeviceNet™ is a low-cost communications link that both connects and powers industrial devices
(switches, starters, sensors, drives, displays, etc.). Up to 64 devices can be controlled over a
DeviceNet. Like ControlNet, DeviceNet components are manufactured by a broad range of affiliated
suppliers.
CommScope’s 5070 and 5080 power/data cables meet or exceed specific performance and construction standards established by the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA). DeviceNet traditionally runs over a two-pair shielded cable (one power pair, one data pair) with a “thick” trunk cable
(15 AWG power/18 AWG data) and a “thin,” more flexible drop cable (22 AWG power/24 AWG
data), although the trunk cable may be used as a drop cable as well. Both pairs are individually foilshielded and covered with an overall braid shield.

Network length is dependent upon network speed. Using thick trunk cable:
• 125 kbps networks should not exceed 1,640 ft/500 meters
with a cumulative drop length of 512 ft/156 meters
• 250 kbps should not exceed 820 ft/250 meters
with a cumulative drop length of 256 ft/78 meters
• 500 kbps should not exceed 328 ft/100 meters
with a cumulative drop length of 128 ft/39 meters.
Drop cables are limited to an overall length of 328 ft/100 meters regardless of network speed.
The above cumulative drop length limits apply. Drop cables may not exceed 20 ft/6 meters in length
for either network.
DeviceNet Cable Connection and Termination
A number of manufacturers produce closed-style mini and micro five-pin connectors for DeviceNet
cables - open-style connectors are available as well. Consult the DeviceNet product catalog for vendors. Trunk cable ends should be terminated with the proper terminating resistors.
DeviceNet Cable Installation Tips
The power pair of a DeviceNet cable is rated for 300V - therefore, keep them away from higher
voltage cables unless they can be physically isolated in the conduit or cable tray. A minimum distance
of 3 in/76 mm is recommended.
The network should be grounded at one location only.

DH-485 is a version of the RS-485 token-passing ring network that monitors and communicates with
devices and processes throughout a manufacturing plant. A DH-485 network consists of a trunk cable
that connects link couplers to a control computer. The link couplers carry data to controllers over a drop
cable. Up to 32 devices may be connected over a maximum trunk cable length of 4,000 ft/1660 meters.
DH-485 uses CommScope’s 5090 dual-shield one-and-a-half pair cable. A shielded twisted pair
cable is used for data communications. The single conductor acts as a common reference line between
all the link connectors. All the conductors are covered with a braid shield.

Installations
ICAT5e Industrial Ethernet (LAN-twisted pair) Cables are projected for widespread use on the factory
floor due to sophisticated end-user applications. The cables must meet the same minimum Cat 5e
specifications that are required of LAN cables. However, while located on the factory floor, they will be
subjected to more harsh conditions than typical LAN cable.
The ICAT5e Cables are subjected to harsh conditions on the factory floor, such as varying levels of
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), UV exposure, fluids (oils, chemicals, etc.), extreme temperatures,
physical movement, vibration, and physical damage due to the movement of other items in the area
(forklifts, traffic, etc.). The Industrial Ethernet Cables are constructed of materials that reduce the effects of
exposure to UV, fluids, and extreme temperatures. Interlocking armor or protective conduit decreases the
potential for physical damage.
The ICAT5e Industrial Ethernet Cables are designed based on two levels of two environments (Noise
& Flexure). CommScope offers four versions of the Industrial Ethernet Cables (2001-2004) which provide
solutions to many combinations of noise (moderate, high) and flex (moderate, high) environments.

Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR) is the ratio between the wall thickness and the outside diameter of a specific conduit.
Schedule 40 dimensions are outlined under ASTM D 2447. These products are not registered to maintaining a specific wall to OD ration, but rather a specific wall thickness to
each conduit diameter.
Other wall thicknesses are available upon request.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

What's Most Important In Broadband Real Estate?
LOCATION...LOCATION...LOCATION!
Central Office
Buried cable assets need to be found by broadband network owners and not by
backhoe operators. CommScope rises to the challenge with ConQuest Toneable
Conduit–a select grade high density polyethylene conduit with an integrated
18 gauge copper clad steel (CCS) tone wire.
Coaxial
This unique, patent-pending conduit, offers a large gauge fluoropolymer-coated
tone wire fully embedded within a reinforced conduit wall. This design provides
easy access to the tone wire at termination points by means of simply "ripping
out" the wire with common hand tools.

Technical Report
The tone is produced at a very low frequency with a
transmitter tuned to a particular frequency. The
frequency range available on the transmitter varies
between manufacturers but often ranges from 400Hz to
about 80KHz. Transmission power is often variable and
is usually controlled in a range of 0.033 watts up to
5.0 watts. A ‘radio’ receiver tuned to the transmit frequency is then used to precisely locate the energized
wire.
Residential
CommScope’s Toneable Conduit is a unique product that
combines a polyethylene conduit with an integrated toning
wire. Buried toneable conduit is easily located using tone
detection locating equipment. The toning wire has a novel
feature that enables it to be ‘ripped’ or pulled out of the
conduit wall with simple hand tools, enabling easy access
for toning and/or splicing to subsequent lengths.
Toning is a method of using a generated signal, or
‘tone’, that is transmitted over a conductor so that the
portion of the conductor buried below the earth’s surface can be located without digging.
Fiber Optic
Now the solution is simple, reliable and most of all,
affordable. CommScope’s revolutionary Toneable Conduit
can provide you with confidence in knowing
the location can easily be found.
The Function of Toning
Twisted Pair
Introduction
Traditional approaches to making underground facilities
locatable required extra material and labor costs. Many
system operators have even cited that sometimes the wire
or tape was “forgotten” or they were “out of the material”
during construction, making an expensive solution even
more costly. Additionally these methods are not always
reliable, subject to damage and degradation.
The set-up requires that a transmitter be attached to the
conductive material that will act as an ‘antenna’ and
that a ground plane be established at the end of the
antenna to close the circuit.

Product Discussion

Installation Notes
Typical installations will consist of direct burial in an
open trench, directional bores, static plowing or
vibratory plowing. The design of this revolutionary conduit with the tone wire embedded within the conduit wall
lends itself to all applications. The sturdy 18 AWG copper clad steel wire is protected by both the HDPE wall
and the fluoropolymer insulation around the wire.
Packaging
During a normal installation, the conduit may have
several splice points either in the trench, pull box or in
above ground enclosures. The tone wire can be

Other composite materials, such as polyurethane/nylon,

subject to attack by strong mineral acids and has a high

Fluoropolymer, the polymer group that includes Teflon , was
ultimately selected because it offers higher resistance to
chemicals, water, and abrasion relative to plastics.
®
Industrial
The fluoropolymer-coated wire is designed to be ‘ripped’
out of the conduit wall using simple hand tools. The fluoropolymer allows the wire to move independently of the
conduit eliminating stresses on the wire and conduit, and
eases the separation of the wire from the wall of the conduit. The fluoropolymer coating also provides critical insulative and corrosion protection to the ‘exposed’ wire.
Coaxial
CommScope toneable conduit is made from high quality
high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The conduit meets indus1
1
try standard wall thickness in 1, 1 /4, 1 /2, and 2 inch diameters. The polyethylene is blended with a premium UV stabilization and protection package. Color concentrate chips
can be added to produce the conduit in an array of colors.
Our unique toning wire is 18-gauge copper clad steel
(CCS) coated with a fluoropolymer jacket. The wire is
embedded in the wall of the conduit. An 18-gauge wire
was selected to maintain wall thickness and provide optimal
tone carrying characteristics. CCS provides the necessary
amount of copper to carry a tone over long distances and a
steel core that is more durable than a solid copper wire.
CCS is easily ripped out of the wall without the wire breaking. The wire meets the specifications listed on page 13 of
this catalog.

Fiber Optic
Splicing the wire together can be accomplished in a variety of
ways. As with any insulated wire some of the fluoropolymer
jacket must be removed before crimping on the connector. A
minimal amount of fluoropolymer jacket should be removed
to make the connection, leaving the remainder of the jacket
intact to protect the wire from corrosion.
Residential
• Simple wire splices for 18 AWG copper clad steel wire
can be used and environmentally protected with a self®
healing waterproof tape such as Magic Wrap .
• All splices below grade must be environmentally sealed
against the elements.
Central Office
• Splices above grade such as inside an enclosure should
have the ends sealed with tape.
• At each end of the conduit, the wire should be ripped
from the conduit to a length long enough for splicing or
grounding.
Coaxial
• Using pliers and tubing cutter, ripping the wire from the
conduit is simple and easy.
• Do not ground the 18 AWG copper clad steel wire
within the system. Grounding of the tone wire should
only be done for toning.

For toning, CommScope recommends equipment such as the DitchWitch
950R/T (shown above).
In the first test, a DitchWitch 950R/T was set at its lowest
power settings (1 KHz at 0.033 watts) with only the transmitter end grounded. The 2,200 feet of conduit was easily
located and the depth measured was accurate within three
inches.

approximately 2,000
feet of tone wire was
attached to one end of
the conduit above
ground. Again, the

located and toned the
4,200 feet length.
The same results were®
achieved with the 3M
Dynatel unit.
ConQuest Toneable Conduit undergoes
rigorous field testing to ensure the same
quality as our other products.
There are ten power settings on each frequency on the
DitchWitch 950R/T, 1 being the lowest at 0.033 watts and
10 being the highest at 3.0 watts. It is possible that a tone
would be obtainable over 5 miles using higher levels.

Utilizing sand for “padding”, the conduit provides
protection during future excavation near your
facilities. The apparent change in soil condition
provides warning that there is a utility buried there.
This should not replace the practice of placing
warning tape, but rather should serve as a supplement.

The effects of stress caused from pulling conduit
through existing duct will cause the conduit to
elongate (or stretch) in proportion to the amount of
stress but less than 2% of the total length placed.
Due to this effect, it is important to pull past the duct
slightly.

Unlike coaxial CIC, fiber optic ConQuest conduit
is the same length as the cable it contains.
Therefore, the cable WILL NOT withdraw into the
conduit during unspooling and does not require
the restraint to be cut prior to installation.
Fiber Optic
ConQuest conduit is slightly longer than the
coaxial cable it contains. Allow an average of
1.5% of cable withdrawal back toward the reel
during unspooling (example: 2000’ of duct will
yield 1970’ of cable). Cable withdrawal will be
greater as you approach the end of the reel. To
prevent the coaxial cable from being damaged by
the withdrawal ALWAYS cut the restraint securing
the cable to the conduit before beginning the
installation. This will allow the cable to freely
withdraw back into the conduit during installation.

Fiber optic cable is packaged for shipment on wooden or composite reels. Each package contains only
one continuous length of cable. The packaging is
designed to prevent damage to the cable during
shipping and handling. Fiber cable reels are protected with a “reel wrap”, the highest technology available today. This wrap is stronger, lighter and more
environmentally friendly than other methods of lagging. In addition, reel wrap is simple to remove from
the reel and readily disposable. All reel sizes between
35 and 78 inches will be blocked and palletized to
help ensure safe arrival to the customer. Reels larger
than 78 inches are placed on the rolling edge and
securely fastened to the trailer during shipment.

Each reel is plainly marked to indicate the direction in
which it should be rolled to prevent loosening of the
cable on the reel.
Method of Shipment
CommScope’s customary method of shipment of
fiber optic cable from Claremont, North Carolina to
the purchaser’s site will vary depending on factors
such as the size and number of cable reels, and the
destination location. Shipper options include Federal
Express, UPS, BAX, LTL motor freight carriers and
CommScope’s own fleet of trucks, “Cable Transport”.
Some trucks within CommScope’s fleet are equipped
with “Cargo Master” equipment for ease in unloading cable reels on location where no loading dock is
available. CommScope has red arm Cargo Masters,
which can lift anything 2,500 pounds or less.
CommScope also has white arm Cargo Masters
which will lift anything up to 8,000 pounds that is on
an 84” reel or smaller. These specially equipped
trucks are available by request.
Products shipped outside the continental United
States are protected with reel wrap, lagged with
wood, and blocked and palletized (for reel sizes
between 35 and 78 inches) or placed on the rolling
edge and securely fastened to international shipping
containers.

by IEEE 802.3. Ethernet is a shared bandwidth technology
based on bus topology and CSMA/CD. Ethernet has evolved
from its beginning as a 10 Mb/s coax network (10Base5) to
include a 10 Mb/s twisted pair standard (10BaseT), a 100
Mb/s 4 pair/twisted pair standard (100BaseVG), 100 Mb/s
over 2 pair/twisted pair standard (100Base - x) and a draft
standard for gigabit transmission over twisted pair.
