Product Description
Superior Essex offers premises fiber cable products packaged in a BrakeBox design, which includes the innovative QuickCount footage marking and a variable resistance system that virtually eliminates reel over-spin and tangling. The BrakeBox packaging is a true advantage for installers who are pulling fiber cable in multiple locations. It not only stacks and travels better, it also protects the fiber cable better than an open reel. The box features two resistance mechanisms on both sides of the reel, each of which has three resistance settings. The variable brakes control backtension preventing over-spin and tangling. The QuickCount feature provides footage marking on the cable jacket counting down from 1,000 feet.

The design consists of flexible 900 m tight buffered industry standard 250 m fibers (900/250/125 m) 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.

Series 1GD
Product Description
Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) environments. The rugged loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical fibers are placed inside gel-free buffer tubes. 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 inner jacket. Water-blocking yarns and a black outer jacket are applied. Rip cords are included under each jacket for ease of entry.

Product Description
Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) environments. The rugged loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical fibers are placed inside gel-free buffer tubes. 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 in a black inner jacket. Flexible strength members are applied with a corrugated steel armor and an intermediate black jacket. Another layer of flexible strength members with a corrugated steel armor and a black outer jacket completes the cable construction. Rip cords are included under the inner jacket and each armor for ease of entry.

Series W7
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.

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.

BW GDJ
Product Description
BW gDJ, available in 2, 3, 5 and 6-pair sizes, is intended for direct burial applications and is well suited to withstand installation stresses. It is filled with an ETPR compound, which is chemically and electrically compatible with all other materials in the wire. The compound completely coats each insulated conductor and fills the air space between conductors. BW gDJ effectively combats attacks by rodents. It can be used for distribution circuits and service entrance wires. Each conductor is insulated with solid polyolefin 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, polyvinylchloride jacket is extruded over the armor to protect the core from minor mechanical damage, degradation by sunlight and the ingress of moisture.

*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 cables 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.

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 knockout 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 stretchwrap. Coils are always fastened with ties. Coils can be custom configured to fit a customers unique cable and wire feeding systems.

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).

To the extent an Event delays Sellers 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
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 Sellers demand. Buyers solvency is a condition of Sellers 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 Buyers 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 Buyers 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 Sellers attorney fees and costs of enforcement, against any of Buyers accounts regardless of basis for such debits and credits and without advance notice. In this section, Seller includes Sellers parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and Buyer includes Buyers parent, subsidiaries and affiliates. 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 Buyers order number, Sellers 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 Sellers 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. The Metal Reels Seller uses to ship Products to Buyer shall always remain the property of Seller and are not a component of Buyers purchase. Seller will arrange with Buyer for pick-up of the Metal Reels from the original ship to location at Sellers 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. Seller continually develops and uses new processes, materials and product designs in an effort to improve its Products, while maintaining conformity to specifications. If Buyers 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. 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 SELLERS 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. 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. 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.
