PPC Ships 100 Millionth SignalTight Connector

A leading designer and manufacturer of advanced connector technologies for the cable and telecommunications industries, PPC, has just announced it has shipped the 100 millionth product in its SignalTight connector line, which ensures continual and uninterrupted signal flow despite loose connections.
The SignalTight line of universal compression connectors, which started shipping in January 2010, is now used by more than 75 different operators worldwide in 42 countries.
Since the product's launch, demand has grown steadily, and the product line now includes more than 15 different variations for Series 59, 6, 7, and 11 cables, including plenum and headend, and right angle and AquaTight integrated weather seal versions. SignalTight is now the company's most in-demand F-connector domestically and has become the connector of choice for the majority of the company's customers.
PPC developed the SignalTight line in response to market demand for a technology that mitigates the concerns raised by the growing number of subscriber-installed connections. Incorporating many patented and patent-pending technologies, SignalTight connectors achieve signal transmission performance approaching that of a fully tightened connector, even when the nut is loose, thanks to a conductive element that maintains connectivity.
The connectors uniquely ensure continuity and alleviate major problems like pixilation/tiling of video, reduced data speed, and poor VoIP quality, which often lead to costly service calls. PPC was the first company to market a connector that offered these benefits.
"As a manufacturer in a competitive marketplace, we are proud that a technology we've developed has enjoyed such overwhelming market acceptance so quickly," said David Jackson, PPC's Vice-President of product development. "Our original EX connector - which led the market in terms of performance and acceptance - has now been surpassed by the SignalTight product."
This exclusive product line helps operators overcome connectivity issues that are inherent in subscriber installs. Not only can improved connectivity help increase subscriber satisfaction, but a reduction in poor connections also helps increase overall network efficiency and quality - a prerequisite to deploying next-generation video and data architectures.
PPC will showcase its SignalTight line, as well as a host of additional products, at the upcoming SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2011, from Nov. 15-17 in Atlanta in booth 1162.
