A planned system of organized cables, connectors and network hardware that delivers voice, data and other communications across a building or campus—think of it as a building’s tidy nervous system that routes information through labeled pathways, panels and outlets. Investors care because good structured cabling reduces downtime, lowers ongoing maintenance and upgrade costs, and makes it easier and cheaper to expand or modernize operations, affecting operating efficiency and asset value.
multimodetechnical
Multimode describes a product, technology or treatment that can operate in more than one way or deliver multiple mechanisms of effect. For investors, multimode offerings can reach broader markets or solve several problems at once—like a Swiss Army knife compared with a single-use tool—potentially increasing revenue opportunities and reducing reliance on a single use case, but they may also require more development, testing and regulatory review.
singlemodetechnical
Singlemode describes an optical fiber or light path designed to carry just one beam or 'mode' of light, which minimizes signal blur over long distances and supports very high data rates. For investors, singlemode technology matters because it underpins long-haul and high-capacity communications networks, affects equipment and deployment costs, and influences demand for fiber, optics and network upgrades—similar to choosing a highway that supports the fastest, heaviest traffic for future growth.
low-voltagetechnical
Low-voltage describes electrical systems and devices designed to operate at relatively low electric potential compared with standard mains power, typically used for lighting, communications, control circuits, and some appliances. Think of it like a nightlight versus a stove: lower power and generally safer, with different wiring, safety rules and costs. Investors care because low-voltage products and installations face distinct regulatory standards, lower installation and operating costs, and targeted market demand that affect revenue, liability and capital expenditures.
hybrid cabletechnical
A hybrid cable is a single physical cable that carries both electrical power and high‑speed data (usually fiber optic) together, combining what would otherwise be separate power and communication lines. For investors, hybrid cables can lower installation and maintenance costs, simplify infrastructure for things like telecom networks, offshore energy or industrial sites, and enable new service offerings — think of it as a combined power cord and internet cable that reduces complexity and speeds deployment.
MPOtechnical
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an enzyme made by certain white blood cells that helps kill microbes but also produces chemicals that can damage tissues; when measured in blood it serves as a marker of inflammation and oxidative stress. Investors watch MPO because changes in its levels in clinical tests can indicate whether a drug is reducing harmful inflammation or lowering disease risk, so trial results or regulatory updates mentioning MPO can affect a therapy’s prospects and a company’s valuation — think of MPO as a smoke detector for inflammatory activity.
Propel XFrame™ and FiberREACH™ Solutions Recognized for Outstanding Excellence
RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity, has earned a Platinum Award for its Propel XFrame™ solution and a Gold Award for its SYSTIMAX® FiberREACH™ portfolio in the 2025 Cabling Innovators Awards from Cabling Installation & Maintenance magazine. The annual Innovators Awards recognize cabling and communications technology, products, programs and applications within the structured cabling industry. A panel of third-party judges determine the winners based on such criteria as innovation, value, sustainability, collaboration and impact. For the fourth year in a row, the judges recognized CommScope® solutions as industry standouts.
CommScope’s Propel XFrame solution delivers the flexibility and density data centers need to keep pace with AI’s growing fiber demands. Network managers need higher capacity fiber frames, but most are proprietary, lack interoperability and require skilled technicians to install and manage. The Propel XFrame solution enables faster, more flexible deployment and management of high-density fiber connections while optimizing space and internal resources. The modular frame accepts multiple connector types along with duplex and MPO fiber connections. It’s also simple enough so even non-skilled techs can add, reroute, and reconfigure fiber connections/assemblies and panel components.
SYSTIMAX FiberREACH solutions combine multimode or singlemode fiber and low-voltage copper conductors in one hybrid cable, enabling connection of large number of powered remote devices without the need for new conduit, bulky extra cable runs, or certified electricians. The distance between the device and the closest telecom room (often 100+ meters) is growing, as is the demand for more power and bandwidth. SYSTIMAX FiberREACH solutions can extend the network reach more than 4km from the nearest power source with a single run of cable, extending reliable power and data to support the growing number of diverse devices on the edge.
“We are quite honored to receive this industry recognition, and to have our innovations recognized by Cabling Innovators Awards for the fourth year in a row,” said Koen ter Linde, SVP and president, Connectivity and Cable Solutions, CommScope. “With many decades of experience, our data center and building & campus solutions engineering teams are always anticipating the next challenges and create solutions that address them.”
