CommScope unveils FiberREACH & CableGuide 360 for smarter edge
CommScope has introduced the FiberREACH solution and the CableGuide 360 platform for its SYSTIMAX portfolio, aimed at advancing network connectivity and cable management capabilities for enterprise clients. The FiberREACH solution, previously known as the Powered Fiber Cable System, is designed to enable rapid and reliable extension of power and connectivity to increased numbers of edge devices and applications. The new CableGuide 360 platform addresses the growing complexity of cable management, offering improved organisation and protection of cables and patch cords for dense, faster deployments. FiberREACH evolves the company's hybrid-fiber cabling, power and chassis solutions, as well as Power over Ethernet (PoE) extenders. It delivers gigabit speeds to the network edge utilising a mix of hybrid cabling technologies. In response to the growing power needs of edge devices, the portfolio now supports up to 90W of power to the edge, keeping pace with demands of both data- and power-intensive deployments. This enables compliance with the latest PoE standards and supports a range of enterprise devices. According to CommScope, the FiberREACH range builds on the existing GigaREACH XL line, incorporating a mix of fibre types and copper gauges to meet diverse customer requirements. The system is designed to support both legacy and future network architectures, with a single power supply panel capable of feeding up to 32 devices at the same time. The platform is engineered for high-density deployments and supports passive and active optical network architectures. Reliability features include full PoE compliance, compatibility with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for redundant fibre connections and extended reach, providing up to 90W of power as far as 350 metres away. Customers are also offered a 25-year extended product and application warranty. The CableGuide 360 platform is described by CommScope as a class-leading suite of cable management solutions, aimed at maintaining the integrity of copper and fibre cabling infrastructure. This platform is engineered for ease of installation, enabling faster and denser deployments that address the difficulties associated with ongoing network modifications. It is suited for both vertical and horizontal patching applications and offers flexible options to accommodate a variety of deployment scenarios. Key attributes of CableGuide 360 include enhanced cable protection suited for higher density cabling solutions, with support for faster, simpler installation processes that reduce the need for intensive product training or technical expertise. Its zero-U capacity and space-efficient design are optimised for use with vertical cable managers, and the platform can host multiple 19-inch panels vertically, as well as half-width panels horizontally. CableGuide 360 is available in white, silver and black, with customisable widths and heights to suit individual requirements. "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." The CableGuide 360 platform is scheduled for global availability in late summer, and the enhanced FiberREACH 90W PoE solution is now accessible worldwide, providing enterprise network operators with expanded options to address evolving connectivity and edge power requirements.
