I frequently see camera and VMS favorites here and a few access control favorite topics here and there. Why not have a structured cabling manufacturer favorite?
For us for a long time it was 3M until they were sold to Corning and then we switched to CommScope.
No complaints from either brands other than I wish their product lines were as complete as Belden's or Panduit. Why don't we use these two? Price, lots of competition, and the CommScope reps are good friends of ours.
UI1 - With regards to copper, we recently performed a shootout of network cable, which includes a dozen models of cable. We rated the cable based on several criteria, and provide video demonstrations and evidence of the results. CommScope was middle of the pack; outperformed by and higher priced than Windy City Wire.
We also have statistics of the most commonly used network cable brand, which is based on integrator feedback. CommScope accounted for 8% of the results, which was similar to other bands mentioned.
