CommScope Drop Cable - Manual (Page 17)

UTP and Fiber Optic Cables
Two factors control the selection for UTP and fiber optic cables; the speed of the network they will support and the
NEC rating required by the installation.
For UTP cables within the home, CommScope’s Category 5e UTP (product code UH58760) offers more
than enough bandwidth for most applications. These cables meet the NEC CMR (riser) designation.
If you are installing UTP in a commercial application (or require higher performance in a residential
application), see the chart below:
For fiber optic cables within the home, we recommend a two-fiber interconnect with a riser rating using
multimode fibers (construction code R-002-IC-6F-FSDOR). A plenum version is available.
