BrightPath cables
Distribution cable options
BrightPath DA/BP cable, an armored cable with a central tube design, is used for
direct burial or in buried conduit. These are robust cables with proven field record.
BrightPath DF/BP is a central tube cable with a flat design supported by twin fiber-
glass-reinforced plastic support members. It can be directly buried, buried in conduit or
installed aerially.
Options for high-density builds are CommScope’s LA stranded and armored loose
tube cable (each subunit can hold up to 12 fibers) and CommScope’s LN all-dielectric
loose tube cable. Both cables can be installed aerially, buried in conduit or directly
buried.
Drop cable options
CommScope’s DF/BP cable is a central tube cable with a flat design supported by
twin fiberglass-reinforced plastic support members. It can be directly buried and is also
self-supporting for aerial installation (please see the DF/BP data sheet for specific infor-
mation on sag and tension).
DA/BP, an armored cable with a central tube design, is available in a single-fiber ver-
sion for drop applications.
These CommScope cables meet or exceed all relevant standards and are RoHS compliant. The RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances) directive was adopted by the European Union in 2006, by some states in the US
and is expected to be adopted by China. RoHS is aimed at reducing the amount of certain environmen-
tally hazardous substances in cabling components.
