CommScope cables now in compliance with future environmental regulations

December 21, 2005—CommScope, Inc., a leader in cable and connectivity solutions, recently announced that all enterprise cables now manufactured by the company are in compliance with industry environmental regulations that are scheduled to become effective in mid-2006.

CommScope has virtually eliminated lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury and polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) from its enterprise cables to meet the requirements of the “Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances” (RoHS) directive, the company says.

All twisted pair, fiber optic and coaxial cables produced under the CommScope SYSTIMAX and Uniprise brands in the company’s plants in Claremont, NC; Bray, Ireland; Brisbane, Australia; Jaguariuna, Brazil and its wholly owned subsidiary in Omaha, NE, now comply with these requirements, says CommScope.
