Another CommScope Innovation...Setting a New Standard in Cable Technology!
Traditional coaxial trunk and distribution cables require considerable attention to the preparation of the cable end
for proper connectorization. Critical to that end preparation is the proper removal of dielectric and bonding com-
pound from the conductors.
The normal process for this requires the craftsman to first core the cable and then clean the center conductor in a
second step. CommScope’s new P3 ® with ACT ® and QR ® with ACT ® cables virtually eliminate the center
conductor cleaning step by enabling a clean coring process in which the center conductor is cleaned of dielectric
and bonding compound during the coring process.
These cables meet and exceed all ANSI/SCTE, EN50117, IEC and Cenelec testing methods for trunk, feeder, and
distribution cables.
Below is an example of a
