CommScope Drop Cable - Manual (Page 6)

CommScope Drop Cable
During the last years of the 20th century, new words were added to the vocabulary of both installers and subscrib-
ers of cable and telecommunications providers; terms like digital, broadband, multimedia and smart homes entered
our everyday language. Coaxial cable, formerly a one-way conduit for TV, is now a two-way conduit for specialty
programming, HDTV, stereo radio, internet access, telephony and more. And within the home and office, coaxial
and UTP cables - even fiber optics - carry these services with a speed and clarity that were once thought impos-
sible.
Here in the 21st century, as providers of broadband services upgrade their plants to de-
liver the features demanded by millions of customers, we must keep in mind that the last
mile, in fact the last few hundred feet of cable, is the essential component in the network.
All of the digital high-speed gigahertz power promised by your company is nothing more
than a dark screen if the cable that runs from the tap to the wall is poorly installed and
connected.
Coax, UTP, fiber optic - CommScope makes all of the cables that make the broadband
revolution possible. That’s why we offer:
