Aluminum-based Cable Advantages
Why Aluminum?
Because copper cost has increased significantly and remains unstable and the
cable technology has advanced decreasing the performance advantage of copper.
Copper has increased more than 3

fold since 2004
Copper cost continues to be
extremely volatile
Aluminum cables can hold fixed
pricing for longer periods
New technology allows electrical
performance of aluminum cables
very close to copper
Beginning to be accepted by global
OEMs and operators as the
standard transmission line
Global OEMs and operators have
accepted AL as the standard
transmission line

CommScope 13
Why Should I use FXL Cables?
Feature Benefit Differentiation?

Low cost with same Capex Savings Yes lowest attenuation
performance
Aluminum cost stability Ability to hold price / Easier to Only when compared to copper
budget, less site theft cables
Lighter than Copper Less tower loading, lower cost Only when compared to copper
freight, easier to install cables
Lowest Attenuation Cost savings by using more 7/8 Yes

in a system. Better coverage.
Cost savings by not having to Yes only supplier of 7/8, 1-

Full Line of cables jump from 7/8 to 1-5/8 1/4, and 1-5/8 in both Copper
and Aluminum
One Connector and one set of Inventory cost control Mandatory for customer but not
accessories a differentiation
FXL strongest cable for crush Aluminum cable weaker than

and tensile copper great benefit if Yes
customer perceives need

Objective: Install effective power & fiber system for 3 to 4 RRUs with:
- Minimize cable count for installation cost savings
- One DC power pair for each RRU
- Two fiber pairs (4 fibers) to each RRU
- Easily adaptable to changes in RRU interface
- Scalable for expansion of RRU count
- Simple, low cost reconfiguration or repair near the RRU mounting area
