New Universal Faceplate
CommScope announces a new APAC British style universal opening faceplate as well as universal opening surface mount boxes.

Fewer material IDs means easier management of stock and lead times.
Design features include:
• Material is UL 94 V-0 compliant
• ECO packaging – reduced plastics in packaging
• White and black color option
• 1, 2 and 4 port options

FiberGuide® 4x12 inch black straight sections in 12-foot lengths
CommScope now offers FiberGuide standard and divided straight sections in 12-foot lengths complementing the existing 6-foot offering. These extended lengths give our customers more customizable options and reduces the number of junctions needed to install a layout allowing for longer pieces to run together in a single span when connecting multiple straight sections. CommScope offers the free FiberGuide Design Pro tool that will aid in a FiberGuide design. Check it out!
During the last week in February work was done on the ISO/IEC 11801 cabling standards series. Single Pair Cabling specifications continues to progress. Fiber Optic testing is being updated as well. This report is being edited and will be posted on the CommScope Standard Advisor page.
