If the maximum distance is not required, then copper-clad over steel-center
conductor cable may
be used to reduce cable costs.
Table 101 show CommScope cable choices of plenum, non-plenum, solid coppe
r conductor, and
copper-clad over-steel conductor cable
with their part numbers and maximum distances.

* Exceeding the distance of copper-clad cable will result in the
attached
RAU becoming non-functional.
If the distance of a cable run is at its maximum and is of concern, TE recommends the use of solid
copper cable to ensure successful operation.
