Propel XFrame and Prodigy connector boost scalable, high-speed fiber management in modern data centers.
CommScope Holding Company, Inc. ((COMM - Free Report) ) has established a strong reputation in fiber-optic technology and is continuously enhancing its standards through ongoing innovation in the field. Its fiber-optic strategy includes high-performance single-mode and multimode products, such as TeraSPEED, LightScope, and LazrSPEED, delivering high bandwidth and reliable performance for modern 40G/100G networks in data centers and backbone networks.
CommScope’s SYSTIMAX 2.0 portfolio includes FiberREACH, which delivers fiber connectivity and power to edge devices, and CableGuide 360, which simplifies fiber and copper cable management in dense enterprise networks. The company is increasingly focusing on hybrid fiber-power solutions and efficient deployment tools to meet rising enterprise and edge network demand powered by IoT, AI, and distributed computing.
Its Propel XFrame product is a high-density floor-mounted fiber frame that helps modern data centers efficiently manage scalable duplex and MPO fiber connections. The company partnered with Emtelle to introduce the Prodigy hardened connector with REVOLink3 blowable fiber in North America, making Fiber To The Home (FTTH) installations faster and easier through pre-terminated drop cables.
Per a report from Grand View Research, the global fiber optics market is expected to reach about $17.95 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 6.6%, due to growing demand for high-speed Internet, 5G, data centers, and modern digital infrastructure. The company’s innovation in fiber solutions for edge networks and data centers highlights its effort to address higher-margin opportunities.
