CommScope Announces FiberREACH and CableGuide 360 Solutions for SYSTIMAX Portfolio

By: via Business Wire

FiberREACH solution evolves hybrid-fiber cabling, power and chassis solutions, and PoE extenders; CableGuide 360 platform delivers cable management patch solutions for faster, denser deployments

CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity, today announced the unveiling of the FiberREACH™ solution and the launch of CableGuide 360™ platform. Both fall within CommScope’s SYSTIMAX® 2.0 portfolio—the FiberREACH solution is designed to help enterprise network providers quickly and reliably extend power and connectivity to support more devices and applications at the edge. CableGuide 360 platform will help providers to properly organize and protect the cables and patch cords.

Formerly known as CommScope’s Powered Fiber Cable System (PFCS), the FiberREACH portfolio builds on this innovative solution by offering enhanced functionality while satisfying established customer requirements. The FiberREACH portfolio utilizes a range of hybrid cabling solutions to provide gigabit speeds to the network edge. As edge devices have evolved, the need for additional power has become essential; CommScope’s FiberREACH portfolio now delivers up to 90W of power to the edge, supporting both power- and data-hungry devices. With these innovations, the FiberREACH platform meets the full range of Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards.

The new CableGuide 360 platform, a class-leading suite of cable management solutions, is designed to protect copper and fiber cabling infrastructure with simplified installation that accelerates and densifies deployments. As adds and changes become more difficult, this solution is incredibly flexible and provides cable protection and application support in managing and protecting vertical and horizontal patching applications.

“Our customers are looking for trusted, extended-reach solutions and a more reliable cable management platform and we have listened,” said Koen ter Linde, SVP and president, Connectivity & Cable Solutions, CommScope. “CommScope continues to enhance the SYSTIMAX 2.0 portfolio to adapt to the growing demands of global enterprise networks. FiberREACH and the CableGuide 360 platform represents a step forward in the cabling, cabling management and connectivity that our customers need to push more power and data to the edge. These solutions build on our unmatched end-to-end expertise and performance warranty offerings—giving our customers one more reason to choose CommScope to extend their networks.”
