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.

Both cable types are small, lightweight constructions designed for ease of handling and installation, and are compatible with industry-standard hardware.
