KGPs Solutions Group (Booth 1534) now offers factory-terminated copper/fiber composite drop cables.

The composite drop cables offer up to two fibers and five copper pairs terminated with one or two SC fiberoptic connectors.

The Solutions Group pre-terminated drop cables incorporate the Superior-Essex BroadGain-CF cables that combine the attributes of fiber-optic and copper technologies in a single cable. Designed for OSP applications, these cables improve network flexibility by addressing the need to transmit electrical power while providing virtually unlimited bandwidth to the subscriber, according to the company.

The pre-terminated copper/fiber composite drop cables are placed in the OSP between the distribution network and the subscriber premises, providing a complete solution to deliver defined services to the customers premises.

In addition to these product enhancements, the new service and support offerings from the Solutions Group feature factory-terminated drop cables that are stocked in the BellSouth Corp. region; shorter delivery intervals to the work site via the Ryder Logistics Network; and availability through the BellSouth ordering process.

The Solutions Group new service and support offerings result in ease of ordering, shorter delivery interval and on-time delivery to the end user.
