Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Background and Basis of Presentation	1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Background CommScope Holding Company, Inc., along with its direct and indirect subsidiaries (CommScope or the Company), is a global provider of essential infrastructure solutions for wireless, business enterprise and residential broadband networks. The Company’s solutions and services for wired and wireless networks enable high-bandwidth data, video and voice applications. CommScope’s global leadership position is built upon innovative technology, broad solution offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions and global manufacturing and distribution scale. In January 2015, the Company announced an agreement to acquire TE Connectivity’s Telecom, Enterprise and Wireless business, also referred to as Broadband Network Solutions (BNS), in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.0 billion. This business provides fiber optic connectivity for wireline and wireless networks and generated annual revenues of approximately $1.9 billion in its fiscal year ended September 26, 2014. In June 2015, the Company borrowed $2.75 billion to be used, along with cash on hand, to fund the BNS acquisition. The proceeds of the financing are being held in escrow until the completion of the BNS acquisition. See Note 5 for additional discussion of the financing transactions. The BNS acquisition is expected to close within the next few months, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded transaction and integration costs in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $9.9 million and $21.3 million, respectively, primarily related to the proposed acquisition. Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the 2014 Annual Report). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2015, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be reported as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance has been applied retrospectively to the prior period presented. The adoption of this accounting guidance reduced the Company’s other noncurrent assets and long-term debt by the amount of unamortized debt issuance costs. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, this amount was $97.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively. Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for approximately 13% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Net sales to Anixter accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the Enterprise segment. Other than Anixter, no direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014. Accounts receivable from Anixter represented approximately 12% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2015. Other than Anixter, no direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group (Carlyle) owned 32.2% of the outstanding shares of CommScope. Product Warranties The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over periods ranging from one to twenty-five years from the date of sale, depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty claims as cost of sales based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales and specifically-identified warranty issues. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and revises its estimates, as appropriate, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that revisions may be necessary. Such revisions may be material. The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in other accrued liabilities: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Product warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 15,366 $ 22,938 $ 17,054 $ 24,838 Provision for warranty claims 2,372 2,662 3,914 4,931 Warranty claims paid (2,544 ) (3,805 ) (5,774 ) (7,974 ) Product warranty accrual, end of period $ 15,194 $ 21,795 $ 15,194 $ 21,795 Commitments and Contingencies The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition. In addition, the Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, discharge, disposal and remediation of hazardous materials. Compliance with current laws and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Asset Impairments Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at estimated fair value. There were no significant asset impairments identified during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, as a result of revisions to the business plan for a particular product line, the Company determined that certain intangible assets in the Broadband segment were no longer recoverable and a $7.2 million impairment charge was recorded. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate of 25.8% and 30.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that the Company does not plan to repatriate. Such earnings are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate. In addition, the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was also affected by a reduction in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions as well as an unfavorable rate impact resulting from the provision for state income taxes and losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable. The effective income tax rate of 46.4% and 40.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, was higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to increases in valuation allowances for foreign tax credit carryforwards, losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable, the provision for state income taxes and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. In addition, no tax benefit was recognized on the $7.2 million asset impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2014. These items were partially offset by gains of $6.6 million and $12.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, that resulted from the reduction in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable, which was not subject to tax. The Company also recognized a reduction in tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to uncertain tax positions for which the statutes of limitations had lapsed. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding equity-based awards (stock options, performance share units and restricted stock units). Certain outstanding equity-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met (1.8 million shares and 1.5 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 2.2 million shares and 1.9 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively).

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	2. ACQUISITIONS Alifabs Group In July 2014, the Company acquired two businesses of United Kingdom-based Alifabs Group (Alifabs) for $48.8 million ($46.7 million, net of cash acquired). Alifabs is a designer and supplier of enclosures, monopoles, smaller streetworks towers and tower solutions for the United Kingdom telecommunications, utility and energy markets. Sales of Alifabs products reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income were $9.2 million and $20.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The allocation of the purchase price, based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is as follows (in millions): Cash and cash equivalents $ 2.1 Other current assets 15.7 Identifiable intangible assets 26.9 Goodwill 15.3 Other noncurrent assets 0.6 Less: Liabilities assumed (11.8 ) Net acquisition cost $ 48.8 The goodwill arising from the purchase price allocation of the Alifabs acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Redwood Systems, Inc. In July 2013, the Company acquired Redwood Systems, Inc. (Redwood), for an initial payment of $9.8 million and contingent consideration payable in 2015 that had an estimated fair value of $12.4 million as of the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the liability for contingent consideration was reduced to zero and no payments have been or are expected to be made. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a $6.6 million and $12.0 million reduction in SG&A expense, respectively, resulting from an adjustment to the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable related to the Redwood acquisition. iTRACS Corporation In March 2013, the Company acquired substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of iTRACS Corporation (iTRACS) for $34.0 million. In March 2014, the Company reached an agreement with the former owners of iTRACS to adjust the purchase price by $4.7 million and that amount was received by the Company in April 2014.

Interest is payable on the 2025 Notes semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2015. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering of the 2025 Notes, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the senior secured term loan facility due December 2022, to finance the acquisition of the BNS business. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes are being held in escrow until the completion of the BNS acquisition. If, prior to April 26, 2016, the BNS acquisition is not consummated, the acquisition agreement is terminated or the Company believes the acquisition will not be consummated, the 2025 Notes will be subject to redemption at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Concurrent with the consummation of the BNS acquisition, CommScope Technologies Finance LLC (an unrestricted subsidiary as defined in the senior secured credit facilities) will merge with and into CommScope Technologies LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), with CommScope Technologies LLC continuing as the surviving entity. Upon completion of this merger, CommScope Technologies LLC will become the issuer of the 2025 Notes, and the 2025 Notes will be guaranteed on a senior basis by CommScope, Inc. and its domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The 2025 Notes and guarantees are effectively junior to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including its senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured debt. In addition, the 2025 Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2025 Notes, including indebtedness incurred by certain of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries under the revolving credit facility. The 2025 Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity under certain circumstances. Upon certain change of control events, the 2025 Notes may be redeemed at the option of the holders at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to June 15, 2020, the 2025 Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus a make-whole premium (as defined in the indenture governing the 2025 Notes), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On or prior to June 15, 2018, under certain circumstances, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes at a redemption price of 106.0%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date using the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In connection with issuing the 2025 Notes, the Company incurred costs of approximately $33.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, which were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt and are being amortized over the term of the notes. 4.375% Senior Secured Notes Due 2020 In June 2015, CommScope, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $500.0 million of 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due June 15, 2020 (the 2020 Notes). Interest is payable on the 2020 Notes semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2015. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering of the 2020 Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay the entire principal amount outstanding under the existing term loan due 2017 and a portion of the principal amount outstanding under the existing term loan due 2018. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CommScope Holding Company, Inc. and its domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and secured by security interests that secure indebtedness under the Company’s term loan facility. The 2020 Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity under certain circumstances. Upon certain change of control events, the 2020 Notes may be redeemed at the option of the holders at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to June 15, 2017, the 2020 Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus a make-whole premium (as defined in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to June 15, 2017, under certain circumstances, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes at a redemption price of 104.375%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date using the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In connection with issuing the 2020 Notes, the Company incurred costs of approximately $6.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, which were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt and are being amortized over the term of the notes. Senior Secured Credit Facilities In May 2015, the Company amended its asset-based revolving credit facility to, among other things, expand the facility from $400.0 million to $550.0 million and extend the maturity date to May 2020, subject to acceleration under certain circumstances. The ability to access the additional $150.0 million of revolving commitments is conditioned on the consummation of the BNS acquisition and other customary conditions. In connection with this amendment, the Company incurred costs of approximately $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, which were recorded in other noncurrent assets and are being amortized over the term of the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the Company did not borrow under its revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had availability of approximately $318.9 million under its revolving credit facility, after giving effect to borrowing base limitations and outstanding letters of credit. In June 2015, the Company used the proceeds from the 2020 Notes issuance to repay $500.0 million of its existing term loans. In addition, CommScope Finance LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and an unrestricted subsidiary as defined in the senior secured credit facilities) borrowed an additional $1.25 billion, less $3.1 million of original issue discount, in a term loan due December 2022 (the 2022 Term Loan). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the 2022 Term Loan, together with cash on hand and proceeds from the 2025 Notes, to finance the acquisition of the BNS business. The net proceeds from the 2022 Term Loan are being held in escrow until the completion of the BNS acquisition. Concurrent with the consummation of the BNS acquisition, the 2022 Term Loan will be assumed by CommScope, Inc. as a term loan under its senior secured credit facilities. If, prior to April 26, 2016, the BNS acquisition is not consummated, the acquisition agreement is terminated or the Company believes the acquisition will not be consummated, the 2022 Term Loan will be subject to mandatory prepayment, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the prepayment date. The 2022 Term Loan has scheduled maturities of $12.5 million per year due in equal quarterly installments with the balance due at maturity (commencing after assumption of the 2022 term loan under the senior secured credit facilities of CommScope, Inc.). The current portion of long-term debt reflects $12.5 million of repayments under the 2022 Term Loan. The interest rate margin applicable to the 2022 Term Loan is, prior to the consummation of the BNS acquisition, one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR or, if available from all lenders, twelve-month LIBOR (selected at the Company’s option) plus a margin of 3.00%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75% (the LIBOR Option) and, after consummation of the BNS acquisition, at the Company’s option, either (1) the base rate plus a margin of 2.00% or (2) the LIBOR Option. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repaid $500.0 million and $502.2 million, respectively, of its existing senior secured term loans. In connection with the repayment of existing term loans, $6.7 million of original issue discount and debt issuance costs were written off and included in interest expense. The Company incurred costs of approximately $26.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 related to the additional borrowings under the term loan facility. These costs were recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt and are being amortized over the term of the 2022 Term Loan. No portion of the senior secured term loans was reflected as a current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2015 related to the potentially required excess cash flow payment because the amount that may be payable in 2016, if any, cannot currently be reliably estimated. There was no excess cash flow payment required in 2015 related to 2014. Other Matters The following table summarizes scheduled maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2015 (in millions): Remainder 2016 2017 2018 2019 Thereafter Scheduled maturities of long-term debt $ 6.3 $ 12.5 $ 12.5 $ 374.4 $ 12.5 $ 5,043.7 The Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $1,093 million, or 14%, of total assets and approximately $271 million, or 4%, of total liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and accounted for approximately $378 million, or 44%, and $753 million, or 45%, of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $1,089 million, or 22%, of total assets and approximately $282 million, or 8%, of total liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $382 million, or 36%, and $702 million, or 35%, of net sales, respectively. All amounts presented exclude intercompany balances. CommScope, Inc. is a guarantor of the 2025 Notes and the issuer of the 2021 Notes, 2024 Notes and the 2020 Notes. The balance sheet and income statement amounts for CommScope, Inc. are substantially identical to those of the Company other than interest expense and total debt. Interest expense for CommScope, Inc. does not reflect the interest expense incurred in connection with the senior PIK toggle notes. For both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, interest expense related to the PIK toggle notes was $9.5 million ($6.1 million net of tax). For both the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, interest expense related to the PIK toggle notes was $19.0 million ($12.2 million net of tax). Total debt for CommScope, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2015 was $4,816.8 million, which does not include the senior PIK toggle notes. The weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, was 5.44% at June 30, 2015 and 5.38% at December 31, 2014.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Costs	9. RESTRUCTURING COSTS The Company has initiated restructuring actions to realign and lower its cost structure primarily through workforce reductions and other cost reduction initiatives at various facilities, including the cessation of manufacturing operations at the Joliet, Illinois; Statesville, North Carolina; and Guangzhou, China facilities. Much of the production capacity from these facilities has been shifted to other existing facilities or unaffiliated suppliers. The Company’s net pretax restructuring charges, by segment, were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Wireless $ 927 $ 1,616 $ 2,688 $ 2,854 Enterprise (80 ) (82 ) (43 ) 132 Broadband 1,047 775 1,120 1,303 Total $ 1,894 $ 2,309 $ 3,765 $ 4,289 The activity within the liability established for these restructuring actions was as follows: Employee- Lease Fixed Asset Total Balance as of March 31, 2015 $ 3,324 $ 7,812 $ — $ 11,136 Additional charge recorded 712 96 1,086 1,894 Cash paid (2,343 ) (313 ) (86 ) (2,742 ) Foreign exchange and other non-cash items 14 — (1,000 ) (986 ) Balance as of June 30, 2015 $ 1,707 $ 7,595 $ — $ 9,302 Balance as of December 31, 2014 $ 3,822 $ 8,243 $ — $ 12,065 Additional charge recorded 2,256 261 1,248 3,765 Cash paid (4,282 ) (909 ) (248 ) (5,439 ) Foreign exchange and other non-cash items (89 ) — (1,000 ) (1,089 ) Balance as of June 30, 2015 $ 1,707 $ 7,595 $ — $ 9,302 Balance sheet classification as of June 30, 2015 Other accrued liabilities $ 1,707 $ 2,040 $ — $ 3,747 Other noncurrent liabilities — 5,555 — 5,555 Total liability $ 1,707 $ 7,595 $ — $ 9,302 Employee-related costs include the expected severance costs and related benefits as well as one-time severance benefits that are accrued over the remaining period employees are required to work in order to receive such benefits. Lease termination costs relate to the discounted cost of unused leased facilities, net of anticipated sub-rental income. Fixed asset related costs include non-cash impairments or disposals of fixed assets associated with restructuring actions in addition to the cash costs to uninstall, pack, ship and reinstall manufacturing equipment and the costs to prepare the receiving facility to accommodate relocated equipment. These costs are expensed as incurred. Cash paid is net of proceeds received from the sale of related assets. As a result of restructuring and consolidation actions, the Company owns unutilized real estate at various facilities in the U.S. and internationally. The Company is attempting to sell or lease this unutilized space. Additional impairment charges may be incurred related to these or other excess assets. Additional pretax costs of approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million are expected to complete these initiatives. Cash payments of approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million are expected to be paid by the end of 2015 with additional payments of $8.0 million to $9.0 million to be paid between 2016 and 2022. As a result of the BNS integration additional restructuring actions are expected to be taken and the resulting charges and cash requirements could be material.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Equity-Based Compensation Plans As of June 30, 2015, $36.6 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock unit awards (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.9 years. There were no significant capitalized equity-based compensation costs at June 30, 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, Carlyle sold a portion of its investment in the Company which triggered an acceleration of vesting of certain stock awards. The Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $5.3 million as a result of the acceleration of vesting. Stock Options Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the Company’s stock price at the date of grant. These awards generally vest over one to five years following the grant date and have a contractual term of ten years. The following table summarizes the stock option activity (in thousands, except per share amounts): Shares Weighted Average Weighted Average Aggregate Outstanding as of March 31, 2015 9,113 $ 7.99 Exercised (544 ) $ 9.05 $ 11,640 Outstanding as of June 30, 2015 8,569 $ 7.92 $ 193,632 Exercisable at June 30, 2015 7,740 $ 7.19 $ 180,470 Expected to vest 826 $ 14.67 $ 13,154 Outstanding as of December 31, 2014 10,411 $ 7.32 Granted 292 $ 30.76 $ 13.25 Exercised (2,119 ) $ 8.00 $ 46,264 Forfeited (15 ) $ 23.00 Outstanding as of June 30, 2015 8,569 $ 7.92 $ 193,632 The exercise prices of outstanding options at June 30, 2015 were in the following ranges: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Shares Weighted Average Weighted Shares Weighted $2.96 to $5.35 745 2.7 $ 3.68 745 $ 3.68 $5.36 to $5.67 769 6.6 $ 5.57 695 $ 5.57 $5.68 to $8.54 4,867 5.6 $ 5.74 4,412 $ 5.74 $8.55 to $8.90 1,371 4.7 $ 8.64 1,371 $ 8.64 $8.91 to $23.00 517 8.7 $ 23.00 517 $ 23.00 $23.01 to $30.76 300 9.6 $ 30.55 — $ — $2.96 to $30.76 8,569 5.6 $ 7.92 7,740 $ 7.19 The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. Key inputs and assumptions used in the model include the grant date fair value of common stock, exercise price of the award, the expected option term, stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the Company’s projected dividend yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in estimating the fair values of its stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards. Subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock option awards granted. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Expected option term (in years) * 5.0 6.0 5.0 Risk-free interest rate * 1.7 % 1.6 % 1.5 % Expected volatility * 45.0 % 43.0 % 45.0 % Expected dividend yield * — % — % — % Weighted average exercise price * $ 25.36 $ 30.76 $ 23.02 Weighted average fair value at grant date * $ 10.45 $ 13.25 $ 9.41 * No stock options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015. Performance Share Units PSUs are stock awards in which the number of shares ultimately received by the employee depends on Company performance against specified targets. Such awards vest and shares are issued over three years if the performance targets are met. The fair value of each PSU is determined on the date of grant, based on the Company’s stock price. Over the performance period, the number of shares that are expected to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probable achievement of performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized will be based on the final performance metrics compared to the targets specified in the grants. The following table summarizes the PSU activity (in thousands, except per share data): Performance Weighted Outstanding and non-vested as of December 31, 2014 — $ — Granted 184 $ 30.76 Outstanding and non-vested as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 184 $ 30.76 There was no PSU activity in the three months ended June 30, 2015. Restricted Stock Units RSUs entitle the holder to shares of common stock after a one to three-year vesting period. The fair value of the awards is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price. The following table summarizes the RSU activity (in thousands, except per share data): Restricted Weighted Average Outstanding and non-vested as of March 31, 2015 1,335 $ 28.68 Granted 6 $ 29.83 Forfeited (13 ) $ 27.75 Outstanding and non-vested as of June 30, 2015 1,328 $ 28.70 Outstanding and non-vested as of December 31, 2014 372 $ 22.99 Granted 986 $ 30.76 Vested and shares issued (3 ) $ 18.25 Forfeited (27 ) $ 26.59 Outstanding and non-vested as of June 30, 2015 1,328 $ 28.70 Other Although share unit awards may, at the Company’s discretion, be settled in stock, they have historically been settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards. Share unit award expense of $3.7 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included in equity-based compensation as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash generated by (used in) operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the 2014 Annual Report). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2015, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be reported as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance has been applied retrospectively to the prior period presented. The adoption of this accounting guidance reduced the Company’s other noncurrent assets and long-term debt by the amount of unamortized debt issuance costs. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, this amount was $97.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively.
Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions	Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for approximately 13% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Net sales to Anixter accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the Enterprise segment. Other than Anixter, no direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014. Accounts receivable from Anixter represented approximately 12% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2015. Other than Anixter, no direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group (Carlyle) owned 32.2% of the outstanding shares of CommScope.
Product Warranties	Product Warranties The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over periods ranging from one to twenty-five years from the date of sale, depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty claims as cost of sales based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales and specifically-identified warranty issues. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and revises its estimates, as appropriate, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that revisions may be necessary. Such revisions may be material. The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in other accrued liabilities: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Product warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 15,366 $ 22,938 $ 17,054 $ 24,838 Provision for warranty claims 2,372 2,662 3,914 4,931 Warranty claims paid (2,544 ) (3,805 ) (5,774 ) (7,974 ) Product warranty accrual, end of period $ 15,194 $ 21,795 $ 15,194 $ 21,795
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition. In addition, the Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, discharge, disposal and remediation of hazardous materials. Compliance with current laws and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Asset Impairments	Asset Impairments Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at estimated fair value. There were no significant asset impairments identified during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, as a result of revisions to the business plan for a particular product line, the Company determined that certain intangible assets in the Broadband segment were no longer recoverable and a $7.2 million impairment charge was recorded.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate of 25.8% and 30.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that the Company does not plan to repatriate. Such earnings are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate. In addition, the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was also affected by a reduction in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions as well as an unfavorable rate impact resulting from the provision for state income taxes and losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable. The effective income tax rate of 46.4% and 40.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, was higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to increases in valuation allowances for foreign tax credit carryforwards, losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable, the provision for state income taxes and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. In addition, no tax benefit was recognized on the $7.2 million asset impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2014. These items were partially offset by gains of $6.6 million and $12.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, that resulted from the reduction in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable, which was not subject to tax. The Company also recognized a reduction in tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to uncertain tax positions for which the statutes of limitations had lapsed.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding equity-based awards (stock options, performance share units and restricted stock units). Certain outstanding equity-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met (1.8 million shares and 1.5 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and 2.2 million shares and 1.9 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively).
