CommScope Launches CableGuide 360 and Enhanced FiberREACH Solutions

23 Jun 2025 CW Team

Previously known as the Powered Fiber Cable System (PFCS), FiberREACH builds on its legacy by integrating advanced hybrid-fibre cabling, increased power delivery, and chassis solutions. The upgraded system now supports up to 90W of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and delivers gigabit speeds up to 350 metres—enabling support for power- and data-intensive edge devices. The solution is fully compliant with all PoE standards and supports redundant connections via Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), ensuring enhanced network reliability.

The newly launched CableGuide 360 platform provides a class-leading cable management system, designed to optimise installation and protect copper and fibre infrastructure in both vertical and horizontal patching environments. With support for higher cable densities, simplified installation, and zero-U vertical mounting, the platform is available in white, silver, and black, and in a range of widths and heights.

“Our customers are looking for trusted, extended-reach solutions and a more reliable cable management platform and we have listened,” said Koen ter Linde, SVP and President, Connectivity & Cable Solutions, CommScope. “CommScope continues to enhance the SYSTIMAX 2.0 portfolio to adapt to the growing demands of global enterprise networks. FiberREACH and the CableGuide 360 platform represent a step forward in the cabling, cabling management and connectivity that our customers need to push more power and data to the edge. These solutions build on our unmatched end-to-end expertise and performance warranty offerings—giving our customers one more reason to choose CommScope to extend their networks.”
