The US Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Telecommunications Program has accepted CommScope’s Flat Drop cable designs, enabling service providers seeking funding from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) to propose the use of the Flat Drop products in business plans and applications they submit for RUS grants and loans.

The Flat Drop products include an all-dielectric cable designed for aerial self-supporting or burial applications and a toneable design that contains a wire used to locate the underground portion of the fiber run. Both cable types are small, lightweight constructions designed for ease of handling and installation, and are compatible with industry-standard hardware.
