DEFINING QUALITY
Superior Essex has TL 9000 and ISO 9001:2001 certification
in every communications production facility, assuring a
level of quality and consistency of the company’s products
and service. And, there is much more to this commitment.
Beyond quality assurance of our products is our dedication
to bring value added elements and superior customer
service to our products. At Superior Essex quality is simple
– providing the customer what is expected every time.
CONSISTENCY MATTERS
Any cable manufacturer can design a high-performance
cable, but very few have the ability or inclination to ensure
that every cable produced is high-performance. Superior
Essex does. Superior Essex has firmly established a long-
standing reputation for providing quality products, on-time
delivery and expert technical support. Consistency matters;
get it right the first time with Superior Essex.
PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
When it comes to product performance, we guarantee
that when you install any of our communications cables
that you’ll get more than you ask for – you’ll get what you
want. Superior Essex has engineered some of the highest
performance copper and fiber optic cable products available
anywhere. In independent tests, Superior Essex Category
5e, 6 and 6A cables regularly surpass the performance
of competitors who claim performance to be their sole
distinction. This same attention to engineering excellence
is also extended to our fiber cable products and our voice-
grade cables.
FLEXIBILITY
The Superior Essex cable and wire catalog is extensive,
but we also manufacture custom products with special
requirements. Our Product Management team can quote and
deliver unique designs that are tailored for your application.

Category 5e CMR/CMX Outdoor Sunlight Resistant
Product Description
The Superior Essex Category 5e CMR/CMX Outdoor Sunlight Resistant cable
is specifically designed for extreme sunlight and temperature applications.
The cable’s specially formulated black jacket is designed to resist both
temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F) and up to +60°C (+140°F). The level of
UV blocking compounds is the same as in traditional Outside Plant (OSP)
cable products, with the black color preventing damage from long-term
UV sunlight exposure. Applications include ethernet interconnect cable for
WiMAX or retrofit cable installations that employ exterior runs, having long
term outdoor exposure between two environmentally protected points.
Superior Essex CAT 5e CMR/CMX Outdoor Sunlight Resistant black premises
cable has been tested and listed as UL 444 Sunlight Resistant compliant.
This designation requires the cable to resist 720 hours of harsh UV and heat
and is more than twice the exposure time of the standard 300 hours required
in the CMX Outdoor test. In addition, the CMR listing allows the cable to be
used in riser spaces per UL 1666, eliminating the need to transition to fire
resistant cables.

Product Description
The Microarray Data Center Interconnect Cable from Superior Essex is
designed for high performance in a small package. Having a nominal outer
diameter of only 3.0 mm, the microarray data center cable has twelve 250
micron fibers. The cable can then be fusion spliced, connectorized to a
high density 12-fiber MTP/MPO mechanical array connector or attached
to standard single ferrule mechanical connectors (LC, SC, ST, etc.) via a
furcation kit. The loose fibers are surrounded by aramid yarns and a low
smoke PVC (LSPVC) plenum or riser-rated jacket. Its small size allows for
denser fiber routing than traditional tight buffered cables; its round shape
and loose-tube construction give it superior performance and installation
ease compared to ribbon interconnect cable.
Applications
• Data center plug and play cable installations
• Outside Plant (OSP)-premises transitions
Features Benefits
• Twelve 250 micron fibers
in 3.0 mm package
• Allows for higher fiber density

Product Description
The Microarray Breakout cable from Superior Essex is designed for high
performance in a small package. The design consists of six 12-fiber 3 mm
microarray interconnect cable subunits, each of which contain twelve
250 micron multimode fibers. The 3 mm subunits are stranded around a
central strength element that is both flexible and robust enough to pass
backbone installation requirements. The stranded subunits are held to the
strength element core by polyester yarns ensuring excellent temperature
performance. Finally, a RoHS compliant flexible fluoropolymer jacket
protects the core from the rigors of installation while providing plenum fire
protection. The cable is available in 62.5/125 micron multimode and laser-
optimized 50/125 micron 10G/150 (OM2+), 10G/300 (OM3) and 10G/550 (OM4)

Product Description
Premises Multi-unit Distribution Optical Fiber Cables are constructed using
6 or 12-fiber subunits stranded around a central strength member in a RoHS-
compliant design for fiber counts from 18 through 144. Standard fibers for
these cables include Reduced Water Peak (RWP) single mode, TeraGain®
220/600 62.5 µm multimode and TeraGain 10G/150 – laser optimized 50 µm
multimode fiber. All fibers exceed industry requirements.
The design consists of flexible 900 µm tight buffered industry standard
250 µm fibers (900/250/125 µm) and is suitable for use with standard
connectors, like the SC, ST, and FC, and small-form-factor connectors like
the LC. Subunits are constructed using dielectric aramid yarns for strength
while maintaining flexibility and are jacketed using the color appropriate
to the type of fiber in the cable. The subunits are then reverse oscillating
lay (ROL) stranded around a flexible high-strength glass reinforced rod
which provides exceptional resistance to dimensional changes due to
temperature. A durable, flame resistant outer jacket is applied over the
cable core using appropriate OFNR or OFNP rated materials.
Applications
• Intrabuilding backbones
• Interbuilding backbone (in conduit)
• Conduit pathways
• Service entrance to communication closets
• “Behind-the-shelf” connections
Features Benefits
• Subunits are color coded
according to fiber type
• Easily identify fiber type

Product Description
Interlock Armored Optical Fiber Cables provide for an extremely well
protected cable package ideally suited for harsh environments. The armor
is available in aluminum or steel and comes with either an OFCR (riser) or
OFCP (plenum) rating. This design offers the system designer a product that
can be installed in high traffic areas where added mechanical protection
and security are required. The flexible interlock armored cable design is
also popular for retrofit applications and eliminates the need to install rigid
conduit while still meeting building code guidelines.
Applications
• Intrabuilding backbones
• Conduit pathways
• Service entrance to communication closets
Features Benefits
• Thick, flexible metallic armor • Reduce incidences of circuit
disruption due to rodents or
mechanically abusive applications
• Flame retardant,
UL Listed designs
• Eliminates the need for multiple
cables for installation
• Full line of Superior Essex
cables available
• Customized designs reduces
cable inventory requirements

Loose Tube Double Jacket Single Armor Self Support
Series 1AM
Product Description
Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside
Plant (OSP) applications. Loose tube self support cables are designed for
use in aerial applications as an alternative to lashing. These cables reduce
installation time and costs. Superior Essex offers self support cables for spans
up to 700 feet. The loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance
over a broad temperature range. Optical fibers are placed inside filled buffer
tubes containing PFM™ gel. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer
tubes around a central member using a reverse oscillating lay (ROL). The core
is wrapped with flexible strength members covered with a water blocking
tape then encased with a black polyethylene inner jacket. Water blocking
yarns and a corrugated steel armor are applied and a black outer jacket with
an integrated EHS steel messenger completes the cable construction. Rip
cords are included under the armor and inner jacket for ease of entry.

Loose Tube Indoor/Outdoor OFNR
Series 13
Product Description
Loose tube riser cables are ideal for campus environments, private networks
and local area networks. These dual purpose cables save money and
installation time by allowing a direct transition from indoor to outdoor
applications with a single cable. Because these cables are fully water blocked
with dry elements, stripping and termination is faster. These cables comply
with the standards for both Outside Plant (OSP) and indoor riser applications.
The loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad
temperature range. The rugged loose tube design features optical fibers placed
inside PFM™ gel filled buffer tubes. The core is constructed by stranding the
buffer tubes around a central member using a reverse oscillating lay (ROL). It is
wrapped with flexible strength members, covered with a heat resistant, water
blocking tape and then encased with a black, flame and sunlight resistant
jacket. A rip cord is included under the jacket for ease of entry.
Applications
• Underground duct and lashed aerial
• Trunk, distribution and feeder cable
• Local loop, metro, long-haul and broadband network
Features Benefits
• Available with up to 288-fiber • High fiber density
• Multiple fiber types
including hybrids
• Multiple network applications
• UL Listed, sunlight resistant • Longer cable life
• Dielectric outer
strength members
• Eliminates grounding
or bonding problems
• Dry (SAP) core standard • Reduces cable prep

Product Description
Series W7 FTTP is the first indoor/outdoor drop cable that is rugged
enough for outdoor environments and flexible enough for tight bends
within residences. The patent-pending design utilizes a fully functional
2.9 mm OFNR rated simplex tight buffer cable as the core of a GR-20 OSP
rated FTTP small flat cable. The key benefit of this cable is that it can be
installed from the pedestal to the indoor ONT (Optical Network Terminal)
with no intermediate termination. Significant installation savings can be
realized by avoiding splicing or termination on the outside or inside wall
of the residence. Further savings are realized by using an indoor ONT that
does not require an electrician to install. This completely dry, flat drop
cable is available in universal and toneable designs that are suitable for
aerial, direct bury or conduit installation. A water blocking thread is used
to prevent water penetration.
Applications
• Drop cables for aerial, direct bury or conduit installations
• Fiber to the premise for single family residences
Features Benefits
• Universal design • Aerial, direct bury or conduit,
all dielectric
• Toneable design • Copper element allows
for toneable location
• Dielectric rods • Excellent crush resistance
• Indoor/outdoor design • Tight Buffered cable can be
placed in a riser environment
and is UL listed
• Meets GR-20 specifications • Industry accepted standard
for OSP installations
• Cable in a cable • Eliminates splice at premises wall
• TeraFlex® fiber in a flexible tight
buffer cable design
• Inner cable can be wrapped
around corners and stapled
with no attenuation issues

Product Description
The 200A and 800A Series Central Office (CO) Cables are designed for indoor
use in central offices or in premises telephone rooms, and are utilized
between a distribution frame and digital switching/transmission equipment.
This series offers 24 and 26 AWG tinned copper at 100 Ohm characteristic
impedance levels. Used primarily in Canada, the color code and lay-up
scheme has distinctively colored insulation in combination with single
dots and double dots or dashes of colored ink. Each wire within a unit is
readily distinguishable from all other wires within the same unit. Cables may
contain pairs or a combination of pairs and singles. The pairs and singles
are assembled together to form a core. Some cable sizes contain “spare
pairs.” The core is covered by a gray PVC jacket. The 200A and 800A series
meet or exceed all applicable requirements of Telcordia GR-137.
Applications
• T1/DS1
• T1C/DS1C
Features Benefits
• 24 and 26 AWG tinned
copper conductors
• Small diameter and light weight
result in smaller cable bundles
and easier handling; tinned
copper conductors minimize
change in wire-wrap joint
resistance
• Solid PVC insulation • Greater crush resistance
and improved transmission
characteristics
• 100 Ohm nominal impedance • Impedance mismatch with Outside
Plant (OSP) cables is minimized
• Standard pair lays • Improved crosstalk performance
and pair identification
• CMR listed • Suitable for horizontal and riser
installations
• Non-shielded design • Lower cost
• Rip cord • Added ease of jacket removal

Tight Twist Distribution Frame Wire
DFW
Product Description
Tight Twist Distribution Frame Wire is necessary for the deployment of
both xDSL and HI-CAP (T-1/HDSL) circuits within the distribution frames of
central offices. This higher capacity frame wire is manufactured with a tight
twist to minimize the impacts of electromagnetic interferences within this
indoor environment. The Tight Twist Distribution Frame Wire is available in
both 22 and 24 gauge sizes with a heavy duty flame retardant PVC insulation.
Heavy duty in this application means a higher level of abrasion resistance,
higher cut through and a higher temperature rating. The 22 AWG product is
intended for use on main distribution frames (conventional type), while the
24 AWG is intended for use on COSMIC (Modular) distributing frames. The
product is available on spools.
Applications
• xDSL
• HI-CAP
• T-1/HDSL
• High stress use
Features Benefits
• 22 or 24 AWG solid tinned
annealed copper
• Facilitates solid connection
• Heavy duty, high temperature,
high stress insulation
• Added protection
for long wire runs
• Twisting sufficient to meet
xDSL requirements
• Twist pattern sufficient
for xDSL transmission level

Product Description
PASP Cable is a solid insulated, double jacket, armored air core design
intended for use in outside cable plant where a greater risk of physical
damage exists. The inner jacket provides protection to the cable core in the
event of severe damage to the outer protective sheath.
Applications
• Pressurized direct buried installations in harsh environments
Features Benefits
• Tightly controlled individual
conductor dimensions
• Limits resistance unbalance
of paired conductors
• Specially designed
pair twist lays
• Minimizes crosstalk and meets the
capacitance unbalance requirements
• Core wrap • Protects the core and provides
core-to-shield dielectric strength
• Inner polyethylene jacket • Provides additional protection
against mechanical damage and
prevents the ingress of moisture
• Aluminum tape shield • Assures good electrical contact
with non-piercing bonding clamps
• Steel tape armor bonded
to outer jacket
• Protects the core from mechanical
damage and reduces the possibility
of tape buckling during installation,
ingress of water to the aluminum
shield and of water along the cable
between the armor and outer jacket
• Polyethylene jacket • Provides a tough, flexible, protective
covering that withstands exposure to
sunlight, atmospheric temperatures,
ground chemicals and stresses
expected in standard installations

Product Description
Reinforced Self-Support Cable is a solid insulated, double jacket, armored,
self-supporting air core design intended for aerial installations where
hazards from squirrel attack, tree limb abrasion or lightning exist. The
undulated, shielded, jacketed core is covered with a flooded steel armor,
laid parallel to a flooded steel support member and jacketed in an integral
extrusion to form a “figure-8” configuration. The steel strand member is
readily available for gripping, pulling and tensioning using standard methods
and hardware.
Applications
• Aerial installations in harsh environments
Features Benefits
• Tightly controlled individual
conductor dimensions
• Limits resistance unbalance of
paired conductors
• Specially designed
pair twist lays
• Minimizes crosstalk and meets
the capacitance unbalance
requirements
• Undulated core assembly • Eliminates strain on the
conductors and provides
sufficient slack during installation
• Core wrap • Protects the core and helps
provide core-to-shield dielectric
strength
• Inner polyethylene jacket • Provides additional protection
against mechanic damage and
prevents the ingress of moisture
• Fully flooded steel
support member
• Provides corrosion protection
• Polyethylene jacket • Provides tough, flexible, protective
covering that withstands
exposure to sunlight, atmospheric
temperatures and stresses
expected in standard installations

Product Description
The Tight Twist (TT) 200-pair ANMW is an Outside Plant (OSP) copper cable
designed with tightly twisted pairs to enhance the performance of xDSL
technologies such as ADSL2+, VDSL2 and IPTV. Deployed on the launch
circuits between the Remote Terminal (RT) cabinet and the (SAC) cross
connect cabinet, this cable significantly improves broadband services at
the customer premises. The xDSL and IPTV equipment within the RT are
organized in bays of 192-pair groupings. One 200-pair cable will facilitate
one bay and will be utilized for the 192 outgoing pairs. Large RT cabinets
can have multiple bays with each requiring a 200-pair cable. The TT 200-Pair
ANMW cable design is modeled after the traditional ANMW series.

IMRDWS
Product Description
IMRDWS is an aerial wire designed for use in extending communications
service (voice, data, and/or video) to a subscriber premises from the
distribution point. This product has additional capabilities over the
standard IMRDW product because it contains a shielding screen. The
conductors are wrapped within a metallic aluminum shield to insulate them
from interference and thus provide high quality digital transmission. In
addition, a drain wire runs longitudinally the length of the wire to drain off
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
Without shielding and a drain wire, noise can be introduced into circuits
from high voltage AC power lines, machinery with motors, x-ray systems,
TV sets and AM radio stations. Shielding also lessens the chance that DSL
or other high frequency transmission protocols will interfere with other
signals on adjacent cables.
Features Benefits
• 3 mil foil shield with drain wire • Provides high quality digital
transmission medium for xDSL
technologies and, when properly
grounded, removes spectrum
interferences
• Black, polyethylene jacket • Provides tough, flexible
protective covering that
withstands exposure to sunlight,
atmospheric temperatures
and stresses encountered
in standard installations
• Rip cord • Facilitates jacket removal

ADP S
Product Description
ADP S is a PVC-jacketed, aerial service wire designed for use in extending
communications service (voice, data and/or video) to a subscriber premises
from the distribution cable terminal. This product has additional capabilities
over the standard ADP NMS product because it contains a shielding
screen. The core is wrapped within a metallic foil to provide shielding from
interference and thus provide high quality digital transmission. In addition, a
drain wire runs longitudinally the length of the wire to drain off Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Without shielding
and a drain wire, noise can be introduced into circuits from high voltage AC
power lines, machinery with motors, x-ray systems, TV sets and AM radio
stations. Shielding also lessens the chance that DSL or other high frequency
transmission protocols will interfere with other signals on adjacent cables.
Each conductor is insulated with solid polyolefin in distinctive colors. The
insulation of the tip conductor is marked with a stripe of the mating ring
insulation color to reduce the possibility of splitting pairs during installation. A
black, weather resistant, polyvinylchloride jacket is extruded over the yarns
and rip cord to protect the core from mechanical damage, degradation by
sunlight and ingress of moisture. The jacket bonds to the fiberglass strength
members to provide the required strength characteristics.
Features Benefits
• 3 mil metallic foil shield
with drain wire
• Provides high quality digital
transmission medium for xDSL
technologies and, when properly
grounded, removes spectrum
interferences
• Non-metallic or fiberglass
strength members
• Provide necessary
longitudinal strength
• Rip cord • Facilitates jacket removal

Integrated Messenger Wire
IM/F, IM/H and IM/G
Product Description
IM/F, IM/H and IM/G aerial service wire in 2, 3, 6 and 12-pair is self
supporting. The conductors are laid parallel to an (F) 0.083 inch,
(H) 0.109 inch, or (G) 0.095 inch solid extra-strength steel support wire. Both
the conductors and support wire are jacketed in an integral “figure-8”
configuration. This product permits fast, economical installation from aerial
distribution cable terminals to building entrance protectors or network
interface units on the subscriber’s premises. The fully color coded core
expedites splicing and terminating procedures. A black, fire retardant,
polyvinylchloride jacket provides a tough flexible protective covering that
withstands exposure to sunlight, atmospheric temperatures and stresses
encountered in standard installations. The steel support wire is jacketed in
an integral extrusion with the core.

Product Description
Superior Essex ALPETH Cables are designed primarily for aerial use. In this
application, the cable must be attached to a support strand (messenger).
If the cable is to be placed in a duct, the cable must be pressurized.
Features Benefits
• Twisted pairs with varying lays • Minimizes crosstalk
and meets capacitance
unbalance limitations
• Non-hygroscopic core wrap
applied over assembled core
• Furnishes mechanical
as well as high dielectric
protection between shielding
and individual conductors
• Black, medium-density
polyethylene jacket
• Provides a tough, flexible
protective covering that
withstands exposure to sunlight,
atmospheric temperatures,
ground chemicals and stresses
expected in standard installations

Product Description
Double jacketed air core cable, commonly called “SEALPAP,” is a solid-
insulated design intended for use in Outside Plant (OSP) where a greater risk
of physical damage exists. The inner jacket provides protection to the cable
core in the event of severe damage to the outer protective sheath.
Features Benefits
• Twisted pairs with varying lays • Minimizes crosstalk
and meets capacitance
unbalance limitations
• Core wrap • Protects core and helps provide
core-to-shield dielectric strength
• Inner jacket • Provides protection against
mechanical damage and helps
prevent the ingress of moisture
• Outer jacket bonded to shield • Provides a tough, flexible
protective covering that
withstands exposure to sunlight,
atmospheric temperatures,
and stresses expected in
standard installations
• Bonding provides additional
moisture resistance

Multimode Optical Fiber
Multimode fiber (MMF) is identified by the physical size of the core as
measured in microns (µm) and the applications for which it is typically used.
MMF, the most common types having 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm core/cladding
dimensions, are used for data communications links with the local area
network (LAN). The term “multimode” refers to the way the light travels down
the optical fiber. For each pulse of light launched into the optical fiber by light
source (transceiver), the light signal energy travels within the optical fiber
core along multiple paths, or modes. These modes travel at different speeds,
resulting in the pulse of light spreading out. This effect limits the bandwidth
and distances that can be supported by MMF. For this reason, MMF is used
in short distance LAN applications usually less than 2 km (6,560 ft) between
connections. Typical network applications include building-to-building and
communications closet-to-closet backbones, intelligent highway systems and
fiber-to-the-desk. MMF is the choice for these short distance applications
cables because of the large core size, which allows for inexpensive
connectivity, greater durability and the use of low-cost light sources.
Typically, a light emitting diode (LED), operating at a nominal wavelength of
850 nm, is used as the light source for MMF cable applications. The use of LED-
based transceivers, MMF cables and inexpensive MMF connector systems
have provided network designers with a relatively low-cost, high-bandwidth
technology for campus-like networks. Recent technology breakthroughs
in optical fiber transceiver technology have led to a new light source that
extends the distance and increases the signal carrying capacity of MMF. This
next-generation light source uses a vertical cavity surface emitting laser, or
VCSEL (pronounced “vicsel”).
The use of VCSEL transceivers, when compared to traditional LED-based
transmission systems, allows for greater distances for traditional applications
such as 100 Mbps and for higher bandwidth applications such as 1 GB and
10 GB Ethernet. The VCSEL source transmits light through the center region
of the optical fiber core. This has created the requirement for laser-optimized
MMF. One of the most popular emerging applications for VCSEL-based LAN
application is 10 GB Ethernet. By using laser-optimized optical fibers, network
engineers can improve transmission performance over greater distances.
TeraGain® optical fibers are available in 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm fiber
types. These optical fibers have been designed to provide greater data rate
and distance support compared to other manufacturers’ optical fiber cables.
In particular, the bandwidths of TeraGain optical fibers are greater than the
standard MMF offered by other manufacturers and exceed the requirements
specified in TIA 568. TeraGain optical fibers can be used with either LED or
laser (VCSEL) transmission equipment. Refer to the table on page J-5 for specific
performance information.
TeraGain 10G 50/125 multimode fibers are specifically optimized for 850 nm
lasers (or VCSELs) that are the heart of the new 10 GB Ethernet systems
specified in TIA 568. These optical fibers exceed industry specifications for
both bandwidth and for differential modal dispersion. TeraGain 10G optical
fibers support 10 GB Ethernet applications in three ranges: 150, 300 and 550
meters. These ranges allow engineers to cost effectively design the right
optical fiber for their application requirements. Superior Essex offers TeraGain
10G/150 as its standard 50 µm MMF in all its premises optical fiber cables.
Refer to the table on page J-5 for specific performance information.
Like the TeraGain 10G 50/125 multimode fibers, TeraFlex 10G multimode fibers
are specifically optimized for 850 nm lasers (or VCSELs) but with the added
benefit of Macrobend Resistance. These optical fibers exceed industry
specifications for not only bandwidth and differential modal dispersion, but for
minimum bend radii allowing use where tight bend radii are encountered. This
is especially important for applications, like 40 GB and 100 GB Ethernet, where
channel margins are tight. TeraFlex 10G optical fibers support 10 GB Ethernet
applications in three ranges: 150 (OM2+), 300 (OM3) and 550 (OM4) meters.
Refer to the table on page J-5 for specific performance information.
Single Mode Optical Fiber
Single mode fiber (SMF) is used primarily for intermediate and long distance
Outside Plant (OSP) applications that have distances between connections of
up to 80 km (50 mi). It is the exceptional information carrying capacity and low-
loss properties of this fiber that make it ideal for these demanding applications.
The core, or light-carrying region of the fiber, is approximately 8.3 µm in
diameter. This narrows the transmission pathway allowing for only a single
path, or mode, for each pulse of light traveling down the core of the fiber. The
light transmission technology is laser-based for all single mode communications
applications. By combining the extremely high bandwidth properties of SMF
with high precision laser-based transceivers, equipment and network systems
designers can create networks capable of sending simultaneous voice and data
transmission well beyond 10 Gbps over many miles.
Superior Essex offers many types of single mode optical fibers for
communications applications. Based on the application, Superior Essex can
recommend the following SMF types.
Standard SMF offered by Superior Essex is an excellent choice for patch
cords, local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN) and metropolitan
area networks (MAN). This fiber has operating wavelengths centered at
1310 nm and 1550 nm. Refer to the table on page J-4 for performance information.
Reduced Water Peak (RWP) SMF, which has been designed to have low
attenuation at 1383 nm, is becoming the most commonly recommended optical
fiber for all types of network applications. Standard optical fiber displays
an attenuation increase at or about 1383 nm. This wavelength is known as
the water peak region and is where light is strongly absorbed by naturally
occurring water-like end groups in the glass, causing high attenuation or
signal loss. Specifically, hydroxyl end groups, which make up half of a water
molecule, are always present at some level within the glass core and cause
increased attenuation over this wavelength region. Superior Essex RWP SMF
reduces this effect and allows all the wavelengths between 1300 nm and
1550 nm to be usable. This optical fiber is therefore, not only an excellent
choice for traditional applications, but also for more advanced systems such
as coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) technologies. RWP SMF is the standard single
mode optical fiber for all Superior Essex premises cables. Refer to the table
on page J-4 for performance information.
Zero Water Peak SMF offers further reductions to the attenuation at 1383 nm.
Attenuation improvement at 1383 nm is usually 0.03 to 0.04 dB per km. Refer to
the table on page J-4 for performance information.
Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted (NZDS) fiber is used for very high data rates over
very long distances (> 30 km). Because of core/cladding modifications, this
fiber is more expensive than standard SMF. The advantage of NZDS is that
it allows for longer distances between repeaters and therefore lowers the
overall system cost for long distance networks. Refer to the table on page J-4
for performance information.
TeraFlex® bend resistant optical fiber is a SMF that complies with ITU-T
G.652.D and G.657.A. The bend sensitivity of this optical fiber has been
improved so that it can be coiled into a 20 mm diameter loop with ≤ 0.5 dB
incurred loss at 1625 nm and ≤ 0.2 dB incurred loss at 1550 nm – five times
better bending performance than leading RWP optical fibers. TeraFlex offers
excellent Polarized Mode Dispersion (PMD) of ≤ 0.1 ps/√km per individual
fiber. TeraFlex is an ideal choice for FTTP applications where small enclosures
are normal and space is at a premium.

Groups of Pairs Binder Identification Colors
For cables through 600-pair, 25-pair groups are identified by their binder colors
in the same sequence as the pair identification is accomplished. Group 1 has
White-Blue binders, Group 2 has White-Orange binders, etc. In this manner,
each pair is uniquely identified. In cables having 25-pair or less, binders are
normally not used. However, if specified, the binders will be Group 1, White-

Copper Wire and Cable
NEC Fire Resistance Ratings
Article 800 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), also known as NFPA 70, covers requirements for low-voltage communications cables. The NEC requires that
cables used in premises, both commercial and residential, be “listed for the purpose” by a Nationally Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL, pronounced “nurtle”).
Other countries have similar requirements. UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) is the most recognized listing agency in the US. UL 444 is the overall specification
used to identify the requirements for listed communications cables.
Many of the fire resistance test procedures called out in UL 444 are written by UL. However, other laboratories, such as ITS (Intertek Testing Services) and CSA
(Canadian Standards Association), can also provide listing compliance to the NEC.
Five levels of fire resistance are specified. These are outlined below, from most stringent to least. The ratings are hierarchical, i.e., from a fire resistance
standpoint, a higher rating can be substituted for any lower rating, but not vice versa.
NEC
Designation
CSA
Equivalent Common Term Test Comments
CMP FT6 Communications
Plenum NFPA 262
• Cable must have resistance to flame spread and reduced smoke generating properties
• Cable is approved for placement in air handling ducts and chambers (plenums) without
the use of fireproof conduit
• Purpose of the rating is to lessen the transmission of fire and visible smoke to unaffected parts
of the building
• Toxic or corrosive elements of the smoke are not measured
• Equivalent to Canadian FT6 rating
CMR N/A Communications
Riser UL 1666 • Cable must not transmit flame from one floor to another when placed vertically in a building shaft (riser)
• Equivalent to Canadian FT4 rating
CMG FT4 Communications
General Use
CSA C22.2
No. 0.3-M
(Vertical Tray)
• Cable may not transmit flame for more than 4 feet, 11 inches
• Cable shall not penetrate floors or ceilings (i.e. cable may only be used within a single floor)
• Designation was added as a part of the harmonization efforts between U.S. and Canadian standards
CM N/A Communications
General Purpose
UL 1581
(Vertical Tray)
• Cable may not transmit flame for more than 4 feet, 11 inches
• Cable shall not penetrate floors or ceilings (i.e. cable may only be used within a single floor)
CMX FT1 Communications
Limited Purpose
UL 1581 VW-1
(Vertical Wire)
• Cable meets the least stringent flame spread requirements of all ratings
• For residential use, but can only be installed in one and two-family (duplex) housing units
• Often rated with optional UL requirements for outdoor use*
* These “outdoor” requirements are limited to some cold temperature properties and UV resistance. They do not qualify a cable to be substituted for an Outside Plant (OSP) cable. For example, they have
no protection against the intrusion of water, which can destroy a cable’s transmission properties and physically degrade a cable as well. The purpose of the “outdoor” rating is to ensure the cable can
withstand outdoor exposure in the short run between the Network Interface Unit and the point of entry into the interior of the home.
Balanced Twisted Pair Transmission Categories
In response to growing demand for data applications, premises cable performance has evolved such that several categories of transmission performance
for balanced twisted pair cables have been developed. These categories are detailed below. The categories are hierarchical, i.e., a higher category can be
substituted for any lower category, but not vice versa.
Category
Maximum
Bandwidth Common Applications Specifications Comments
CAT 6A 500 MHz 10GBASE-T
(IEEE 802.3an)
ANSI/TIA-568-C.2
ANSI/ICEA S-90-661
• Designed for reduced alien crosstalk
CAT 6 250 MHz 1000BASE-T • Doubles the bandwidth of CAT 5e and vastly improves signal-to-noise margins
CAT 5e 100 MHz 1000BASE-T • Characterized by tightly twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk loss
• Proposed FCC minimum category requirement effective 2020
CAT 5 100 MHz
100BASE-T
100 Mbps TPDDI
622 Mbps ATM
• No longer recognized as an appropriate medium for commercial networking
installations (replaced by CAT 5e or higher)
CAT 3 16 MHz
10BASE-T
Analog Voice
Telecom Closet Wiring
• Minimum allowed by the FCC for horizontal cable in commercial
and residential voice and data applications
• Market trend is to abandon CAT 3 in favor of installing CAT 5e or higher
for both data and voice

Descriptions
Steel Reel
Long lengths of cable are placed
onto Steel Reels. An advantage
of this reel is that it is
environmentally-friendly and
recycled for years of service.
BrakeBox®
Dual Brake System
This package is dual purpose.
In this design the cable is placed
onto a plastic spool, which is placed
into a box. The brake allows for
back-tension and over-spin control.
The spool may be taken from the
box for installation or may be left
in the box where the cable pays
out through a slotted opening.
Wood/Plywood Reel
Reels may be made of plywood
or wood. Superior Essex wooden
reels can be recycled an average
of five times before retirement
(see Web site for further details).
POP™ Box
In this package, the cable is coiled
into a box. The product pays out
through a tube opening in the box.
This design does not allow for the
cable to be removed as a unit from
the box.
Spool
Wire is wound onto a spool.
The spool is placed inside a box
for protection during shipment.
Spools are smaller than wood
or steel reels.
Reel-in-a-Box
This package is dual purpose. In
this design the cable is placed onto
a plastic spool, which is placed into
a box. The spool may be taken from
the box for installation or may be
left in the box where the cable pays
out through a slotted opening.
Parallel Cone
This package is designed to fit
into the General Machine Products
(GMP) cast aluminum wire
dispensing system (GMP units
80470 or 80471). When placed onto
the GMP dispenser, the jumper
or distribution frame wire pays out
smoothly. GMP dispensers are most
common in central offices.
Knock-out Box
Cable is coiled and fastened within
a box. Knock out boxes can be
identified by a perforated “knock-
out” that is removed, allowing
access to the cable.
Coils
Coils refer to lengths of cable
wrapped into a shape (usually a
circle) and fastened with multiple ties.
Multiple coils may be placed inside
a box for shipping or shipped on a
pallet, and then secured by stretch-
wrap. Coils are always fastened with
ties. Coils can be custom configured
to fit a customer’s unique cable and
wire feeding systems.

COPPER Glossary of Terms
ACR (Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio):
The ratio between attenuation and near end
crosstalk, measured in decibels (dB), at a
given frequency. Important characteristic in
networking transmission to assure that signal
sent down a twisted pair is stronger at the
receiving end of the cable than any interfering
signals imposed on that same pair by
crosstalk from adjacent pairs. While it is not
included in TIA 568, it is a good figure of merit
in that it describes the signal to noise ratio.
ACRF: See “ELFEXT”
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line):
Modems attached to twisted pair copper
wiring that transmit from 1.5 Mbps to 9 Mbps
downstream (to the subscriber) and from
16 KBps to 800 KBps upstream, depending
on line distance.
aerial cable: Cable suspended in the air usually
on utility poles. Except for self supporting
cables an external messenger strand is used
to support the cable.
amplifier: Any device that intensifies a signal
without distorting the shape of the wave.
analog: A signal that varies continuously (i.e.
sound waves). Analog signals have a frequency
and bandwidth measured in hertz (Hz).
ANSI (American National Standards Institute):
A standards-setting, non-government
organization which develops and publishes
standards for transmission codes, protocols
and high-level languages for “voluntary”use
in the United States.
armor: Additional protective covering beneath
the outer jacket to provide physical protection
against severe outdoor environments. Usually
made of plastic-coated steel, it may be
corrugated for flexibility.
armored cable: A cable having an outer
protection usually in the form of a steel
corrugated tape.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM):
A high-speed, packet-switching technology
used to transmit video, data, voice, etc. via
fixed-length cells of 53 bytes.
ATM: See “Asynchronous Transfer Mode”
attenuation: Also known as Insertion Loss.
Loss of signal power between two points.
Attenuation is a ratio of input power versus
output power, measured in decibels per
unit length, usually decibels per 100 meters
(dB/100 m). The received signal is lower in
signal power than the transmitted signal.
backbone: The facility, such as cables
and connectors, that connects equipment
rooms, telecommunications closets and
entrance facilities. Can be inter-building
or intrabuilding.
bandwidth: A measure of capacity of
communications media. Greater bandwidth
allows communication of more information
in a given period of time. Bandwidth is
generally described either in terms of analog
signals in units of Hertz (Hz), which describes
the maximum number of cycles per second,
or in terms of digital signals in units of bits
per second.
BER (bit error rate): The ratio of incorrectly
transmitted bits to correctly transmitted bits.
binder: A spirally applied colored thread or ribbon
used to separate and identify units and groups
of cable pairs by means of color coding.
B-ISDN (Broadband Integrated Services Digital
Network): A digital network with ATM
switching operating at data rates in excess of
1.544 or 2.048 Mbps. ATM enables transport
and switching of voice, data, image and video
over the same infrastructure.
broadband: An adjective used to describe large-

shall be deemed accepted by Seller unless and until either confirmed in writing by Seller or by delivery of the
Product specified in the order. Seller may modify Buyer’s order where necessary as follows: (a) substituting the
latest or correct part number or part description for the part number or part description set forth on the order; (b)
substituting Seller’s prices in effect as applicable to the order; (c) substituting an estimated delivery schedule
which is reasonable (considering Seller’s stock availability and lead time); and (d) correcting any stenographical
or typographical error. The price of any Product sold to Buyer shall be Seller’s price in effect at time of order
entry. Overdue payments shall bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate of 1.5% (.015) per month or the
maximum legal rate, whichever is less. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, all shipping charges and costs
shall be paid by Buyer. Seller’s weights shall govern provisional and final settlement.
Credit is extended at the sole discretion of Seller. If credit has been extended, the amount of credit may be changed
or credit withdrawn by Seller at any time, in its sole discretion. If a cash discount is stipulated, it is subject to
Buyer’s entire account being current. Seller will charge and Buyer shall pay a convenience fee of 2.5% of the total
invoice amount on all invoices paid by Buyer using a credit card. Any discounts given to Buyer by Seller in relation
to the price of the Products are conditional upon payment for the Products being made strictly in accordance with
the Sales Agreement and these Terms and to Buyer’s entire account for all products purchased from Seller being
current. Fees for and relating to the Products are subject to adjustment in the event there are cost increases
created by circumstances such as, but not limited to, changes in government energy policies, fuel and energy
increases, metal premium or metal processing charges, chemical or material price increases, material and supply
shortages, transportation and shipping costs. Any accepted order requiring special manufacturing processes,
inspection, specified weight, packaging, test results, certification, etc., is subject to additional charges.
3. DELIVERY, TITLE, RISK OF LOSS, AND SHIPPING OF PRODUCTS
Title to and risk of loss of the Products shall pass to Buyer upon tender of such Products to Buyer at Seller’s factory
or a common carrier. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both parties, Buyer shall pay for shipping costs and
charges for the Products. All shipments will be at the Seller’s option. Wherever transportation rates and carrier’s
liability for damage depend upon the value of the shipment as declared by shipper, Seller will declare such value
as will entitle Buyer to have the Products shipped at the lowest permissible rates unless otherwise instructed in
writing by Buyer.
Buyer will furnish destination instructions for all Products as promptly as possible. Any shipping date provided by
Seller is the Seller’s best estimate and will not operate to bind Seller to ship or make deliveries on such date. In
the absence of destination instructions, Seller will not be required to ship Buyer any Products. Seller shall not be
liable for loss or damage attributed to negligence either in selection of the carrier or in agreeing with a carrier to
contract terms on Buyer’s behalf.
4. LIMITED WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS
Seller warrants to Buyer that at the time of delivery the Products will be free from material defects in workmanship
and materials under normal use and will conform substantially to Seller’s applicable specification. As Buyer’s sole
and exclusive remedy and Seller’s entire liability for any breach of the foregoing warranty, Seller will, at its sole
option and expense, either refund the purchase price paid, repair or replace the Product which fails to meet this
warranty upon return of the nonconforming Product; provided, Buyer notifies Seller of noncompliance in writing
within one (1) year of delivery of such Product. Transportation charges to and from Seller’s location for the return
of nonconforming Products to Seller and their re-shipment to Buyer and the risk of loss thereof will be borne by
Seller. Buyer shall use Seller’s designated carrier for all re-shipments. These warranties do not apply to any Product
that was not properly stored or handled by the Buyer, that was repaired or altered or was otherwise subject to
abuse, neglect or improper use by Buyer, or that has any stage of processing performed on it which causes the
defect. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 4 OF THESE TERMS,
SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PRODUCTS
OR PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Without limitation, under no circumstances shall
Seller be liable for any costs associated with reworking, re-manufacturing or scrapping goods in which defective
Product supplied by Seller was incorporated, for any costs associated with production stoppages, machinery
breakdown or recall campaigns, or for any trouble shooting, administrative or engineering charges.
5. CLAIMS OF PATENT INFRINGEMENT
Seller shall conduct, at its own expense, the entire defense of any claim, suit, action or other proceedings (“Claim”)
brought against Buyer by a third party alleging that any Product infringes upon any United States patent of any third
party; provided, however: (i) Seller receives prompt written notice of the Claim; (ii) Seller has full control of the
defense and all related settlement negotiations; (iii) the Products are made according to a specification or design
furnished by Seller, or if a process patent is involved, the process performed by the Products are recommended in
writing by Seller; and (iv) Buyer provides Seller with all necessary assistance, information and authority to perform
the defense and negotiate settlement thereof. Provided all four of the foregoing conditions are met, Seller shall,
at its own expense, either settle said Claim or shall pay all damages (excluding consequential damages) and costs
awarded by the court therein. If the use or resale of such Products is finally enjoined, Seller shall, at Seller’s option,
procure for defendant the right to use or resell the Products, replace them with equivalent non-infringing Products,
modify them so they become non-infringing but equivalent, or remove them and refund the purchase price (less a
reasonable allowance for use, damage or obsolescence). Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all
Claims based upon (i) the use of a Product customized for Buyer based on Buyer’s ideas, specifications or designs,
(ii) the performance of a process performed by the Products not recommended in writing by Seller, or (iii) the use
or sale of the Products delivered hereunder in combination with other products not delivered to Buyer by Seller.
6. EXCUSABLE PERFORMANCE
Seller is excused from performing any of its obligations under these Terms, any order or Sales Agreement if
its performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by delays of suppliers, acts of God, nature, governments or
their agencies, terrorism, war or sabotage, compliance in good faith with any applicable foreign or domestic
governmental regulation or order (whether or not it proves to be invalid), fires, riots, inability to supply or obtain
labor, products, materials, raw materials, supplies, fuel or utilities, labor disputes, work stoppages, lockouts, delays
in transportation, earthquakes, floods, storms or other severe weather conditions, power shortages or power
failures or any other events or circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control (an “Event”). To the extent an
Event delays Seller’s performance, such performance shall be extended for as many days beyond the due date as
is required to obtain removal of such delay; provided, however, if Seller is unable to perform any of its obligations
under any order due to an Event for more than thirty (30) days, it may in its sole option terminate, without liability
or penalty, any Sales Agreement, order or obligation in whole or in part. It is expressly understood that the Seller
has available a limited source for the materials used by Seller in the manufacture of the Products. If there is an
interference, limitation or cessation of any material from Seller’s source of supply for any reason, Buyer agrees
to relieve the Seller temporarily, proportionately, or permanently of liability under these Terms or any Sales
Agreement or order, depending upon whether the interruption of the source of supply is a temporary interruption, a
reduced delivery of materials, or a permanent cessation of supply. In the event there is a Product shortage pursuant
to this section, Seller may ration and distribute such Products as it deems appropriate.
7. TAXES AND EXPORTS
Any and all taxes (not including any U.S. income or excess profit taxes attributable to Seller) which may be imposed
by any taxing authority, arising from the sale, delivery or use of the Products and for which Seller may be held
responsible for collection or payment, either on its own behalf or that of Buyer, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller
upon Seller’s demand.
8. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF BUYER
Buyer’s solvency is a condition of Seller’s performance and Seller may, at any time, in its sole discretion for
credit reasons (including a good faith belief that a current or future payment is or may be impaired) or because
of Buyer’s breach of this or any other agreement with Seller, suspend or change credit terms, fix a limit on credit,
require progress payments, demand payment in full of any outstanding balance, withhold shipments, demand COD
or request other assurances of payment, cancel or terminate any order or agreement, or repossess all Products
previously delivered, which Products shall become the absolute property of Seller subject to credit therefore. Seller
retains a security interest in Products delivered hereunder until paid in full. Notwithstanding any other provision of
these Terms, Seller reserves the right in its absolute discretion from time to time to require payment in full of the
price of the Products before delivery of all or any of the Products
Seller may terminate any order or Sales Agreement by written notice to Buyer if (i) a receiver or trustee is appointed
for any of Buyer’s property; (ii) Buyer is adjudicated or voluntarily becomes bankrupt under any bankruptcy,
dissolution or reorganization laws or similar legislation; (iii) Buyer becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors; (iv) an execution is issued pursuant to a judgment rendered against Buyer; or (v) Buyer
is unable or refuses to make payment to Seller. If any order or Sales Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant
to this section, Seller shall be relieved of any further obligation to Buyer and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for its
termination costs and expenses and a reasonable allowance for profit.
Each order shall be treated as a separate transaction, but if Buyer shall fail to fulfill the payment terms of any
order, Seller may without prejudice to any other lawful remedy defer further shipments and/or cancel any order.
Buyer shall be liable to Seller for all costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, which Seller may reasonably incur
in any actions by Seller taken to collect on any overdue account of Buyer. In addition to any right of set off or
recoupment provided by law, Buyer agrees that all its accounts with Seller will be administered on a net settlement
basis and that Seller may set off debits and credits, including Seller’s attorney fees and costs of enforcement,
against any of Buyer’s accounts regardless of basis for such debits and credits and without advance notice. In
this section, “Seller” includes Seller’s parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and “Buyer” includes Buyer’s parent,
subsidiaries and affiliates.
9. CANCELLATIONS AND RETURNS
Due to raw material and manufacturing plant scheduling, all orders accepted by Seller are non-cancelable unless (i)
such order is cancelled in writing thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled ship date and (ii) the Products ordered were
not manufactured as special or customized items. If paid for, cancelled Products may be returned for credit only.
Return of any Product must be authorized by Seller. Seller will issue a formal RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION
(RMA) to support all authorized returns. For any credit, this document must provide the Buyer’s order number,
Seller’s invoice number, part number, description, and quantity of item to be returned, and reason for request.
Standard stock items are returnable at invoice price less a 20% restocking charge, freight prepaid by Buyer to
the plant of manufacturer or Seller’s designated location. Non-stock items and/or special items are not subject to
return. All material must be returned to Seller undamaged and in the original packaging.
10. PACKAGING MATERIAL
The Metal Reels Seller uses to ship Products to Buyer shall always remain the property of Seller and are not a
component of Buyer’s purchase. Seller will arrange with Buyer for pick-up of the Metal Reels from the original ship
to location at Seller’s expense. Seller reserves the right to charge for Metal Reels not returned within 1 year or
which are damaged as the result of improper handling or storage.
11. CHANGES — PROCESS, MATERIAL AND PRODUCT DESIGN
Seller continually develops and uses new processes, materials and product designs in an effort to improve its
Products, while maintaining conformity to specifications. If Buyer’s applications of the Products rely upon any
performance, dimensional or constant criteria other than as required by the applicable specifications, Buyer must
conduct regular testing or evaluation of those specific Products. Seller makes no warranty or representation of
any nature that any material shipped conforms to any material of like product description as may have previously
been delivered to Buyer.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, DELAY,
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DIRECT OR INDIRECT PROFITS,
REVENUE, OR USE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF BUYER OR ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER’S AGGREGATE
LIABILITY TO BUYER EXCEED ALL AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER. These limitations shall apply
notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of the limited remedy set forth in Section 4.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY
Buyer will not disclose to third persons any proprietary or confidential information of Seller concerning its business
and operations, including without limitation, pricing information, for a period of five (5) years from the date such
confidential information was learned or for confidential information meeting the definition of “trade secret” under
applicable law, until such information is no longer a “trade secret.” Confidential Information does not include any
data or information that is publicly known or in the public domain through means that do not involve a breach by
Buyer of its obligations set forth herein.
14. ADDITIONAL TERMS
The provisions of these Terms and the Sales Agreement, if any, constitute the entire agreement between Buyer
and Seller with respect to the matter contained herein and supersedes any prior oral or written communications,
understanding, representations, proposals or agreements. Seller may revise these Terms from time to time. These
Terms may not be amended or modified by Buyer except upon the execution of a written agreement signed by
both parties indicating an intent to modify these Terms. Neither Buyer nor Seller may assign any of its rights or
obligations hereunder or under any order; provided, however, that Seller shall be permitted to assign any of its
rights or obligations under these Terms, Sales Agreement or any order in connection with the sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of its assets or capital stock, whether by merger, reorganization, consolidation or other similar
transaction. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, unenforceable or in conflict with any law by a court of
competent jurisdiction or arbitration tribunal, such provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms and the
validity of the remainder of these Terms shall not be affected thereby. The provisions of these Terms that by their
nature are reasonably intended by the parties to survive the expiration or termination of the Terms or any accepted
order, including without limitation sections 4, 5, 11, 12, 13 and this section 14, shall survive the expiration or
termination of the Terms or any accepted order.

Campus Warranty
Highlights
A Total Approach to Campus-Wide Cabling
Today’s communications networks encompass more than the inside building data
cabling system. In a campus setting, the network extends outside – between the
buildings and through the telco rooms. Often the voice network is separate from the
data, yet it is designed and installed simultaneously with all other network cabling.
Under the Superior Essex Campus Warranty Program, virtually all of the
telecommunications cabling needs of a campus project can be met with
the comprehensive coverage of a single warranty solution.
What You Get
The Superior Essex Campus Warranty assures that products within the cabling
system will be free from defects in material or workmanship, and will meet all
published performance specifications for the applicable term.
How it Works
The Campus Warranty provides true assurance from a single source. It covers
all the Superior Essex fiber and copper cables used throughout a campus, plus
connectivity hardware.
Obtaining a Campus Warranty that covers the inside building structured cabling,
premises voice, telco room cabling and/or Outside Plant (OSP) cable from
Superior Essex is simple:
1. Install your structured cabling system using copper and/or fiber data cable
from Superior Essex for 100% of the installation in combination with a
connectivity manufacturer that is included in either the PerformaLink®*
or NextLAN®* warranties.
2a. When using Superior Essex premises cable and Leviton connectivity, certify
your structured cabling installation in accordance with the NextLAN Warranty
requirements and your NextLAN Warranty will be provided. Then, submit the
completed Campus Warranty registration form with supporting documentation
to Superior Essex and your extended Campus Warranty on voice-grade
premises and OSP cable products will be provided.
2b. When using Superior Essex cable in combination with an approved
connectivity manufacturer listed in the PerformaLink Warranty (other than
Leviton), you can obtain your structured cabling warranty from Superior Essex
or the connectivity manufacturer. Once the structured cabling warranty is
obtained, submit both the complete Campus Warranty registration form and
required documentation to Superior Essex. Your Campus Warranty on voice
grade premises and OSP cable products will then be provided.

Premises Voice and OSP Cabling
For projects that use Superior Essex cables for 100% of the copper and fiber
structured cabling portion of the network project (i.e. horizontal and inside
building backbone), Superior Essex will provide a 20-year warranty for voice-grade
premises cables and OSP cables in the network. Specific terms and conditions
regarding the Campus Warranty are available at www.SuperiorEssex.com
or upon request.
Premises Voice Cabling
20-Year extended warranty on all copper voice-grade premises cables used
within the campus project

20-Year extended warranty on all OSP copper and fiber cables used within
the campus project
Structured Cabling System
PerformaLink and NextLAN warranties assure that products within the system
will support current and future applications designed to operate over the structured
cabling system as defined by TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC at the time of manufacture.
25-Year Warranty on Cable and Connectivity
Installed as a PerformaLink® System*
PerformaLink structured cabling systems are warranted for 25 years. Superior
Essex will warrant PerformaLink copper or fiber installations to meet or exceed
the applicable TIA/EIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards when installed
by a certified contractor in accordance with industry standard practices.
Lifetime Warranty on Cable and Connectivity
Installed as a NextLAN® System*
NextLAN cabling systems are warranted for the lifetime of the building.
The NextLAN warranty covers the permanent link, channel and inside building
backbone as described in TIA/EIA-568 (including connectivity). The NextLAN
Lifetime Warranty guarantees the copper or fiber system will meet or exceed
the applicable TIA/EIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards when installed
by a certified contractor in accordance with industry standard practices.
