Vision for the future—trusted expertise to get there
CommScope maintains deep and long-lasting relationships with customers and helps them build, design and deploy customized
solutions that are aligned with their technology road maps. We always ask, “How can we better serve our customers and add
value to their businesses?” Solving these challenges is what drives us every day.

We listened carefully to our customers with the development and innovation of the Prodigy connectors, creating
breakthrough technology that revolutionizes cable assemblies. And we did it in two weeks—from concept to 3D prototypes
for approval— accomplishing what no other company could. The new fiber drop cable assemblies with the Prodigy
connector system take the simplicity of connectivity to the next level.

New fiber drop cable assembly with Prodigy

CommScope’s fiber drop cable assembly solutions bring speed and flexibility to outside plant fiber cabling networks. Each factory-
connectorized cable is designed to eliminate time-consuming field splices. These plug-and-play solutions perform under extreme
conditions, including sun, heat, cold, moisture and heavy RF interference. Durable and reliable, they integrate seamlessly into
existing fiber-optic networks.

The Prodigy converter comes with a break-free feature. If an installer places the wrong converter on the cable assembly while in the field, the
dust cap can be removed and used to break open the converter. By pressing down on a latch, the installer can release the converter body from the
connector core, which can be reused.

Interoperable. Universal. Smart.

对于美国市场，有一种解决方案（Commscope 的 Prodigy）发展非常迅速，并且是进入该市场的绝佳机会，可以推出与该解决方案竞争的产品。

主要想法是拥有一个具有可互换盖的连接器，以便可以将其插入不同类型的硬化耦合器中。

连接器必须与 Commscope 的 DLX 连接器、AFL 的 Trident 连接器、康宁的 Optitap、卡口连接器和标准 SC 外壳连接器兼容。

连接器最初应安装在 4.5X10mm 扁平引入电缆上。

寻找已经开发的解决方案。

最初的预测是 10,000 件，但如果价格和产品不错并且符合 Telcordia GR-3120，那么需求量将很大，因为所有购买 DLX 的美国客户，Trident 连接器都会寻找这种解决方案，因为制造商明年将停产这些连接器。
