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 communication 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. On August 28, 2015, the Company acquired TE Connectivity’s Broadband Network Solutions (BNS) business in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.0 billion. See Note 2 for additional discussion of the BNS acquisition. As of January 1, 2016, the Company reorganized its internal management and reporting structure as part of the integration of the BNS acquisition. The reorganization changed the information regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, the Company is reporting financial performance for 2016 based on its new operating segments: CommScope Connectivity Solutions (CCS) and CommScope Mobility Solutions (CMS). Both CCS and CMS represent non-aggregated reportable operating segments. Prior to this change, the Company operated and reported the following operating segments: Wireless, Enterprise, Broadband and BNS. All prior period amounts in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes. Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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 these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year. The BNS business results of operations that are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are for the fiscal periods June 25, 2016 through September 30, 2016 and December 26, 2015 through September 30, 2016, respectively. The BNS business results for the three months ended September 30, 2016 include fourteen weeks compared to thirteen weeks in each of the first two quarters of 2016. The BNS business results of operations that are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are from August 28, 2015, the date of acquisition, through their fiscal period ended September 25, 2015. 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, 2015 (the 2015 Annual Report). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for 11% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net sales to Anixter accounted for 13% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the CCS segment. Other than Anixter, no other direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015. Accounts receivable from Anixter and Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) each represented approximately 11% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016. Other than Anixter and Verizon, no direct customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group (Carlyle) owned 10.2% 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Product warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 18,356 $ 15,194 $ 17,964 $ 17,054 Accrual assumed in BNS acquisition — 1,900 — 1,900 Provision for warranty claims 3,435 2,054 7,954 5,968 Warranty claims paid (14 ) (3,127 ) (4,141 ) (8,901 ) Product warranty accrual, end of period $ 21,777 $ 16,021 $ 21,777 $ 16,021 Commitments and Contingencies The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in pending legal matters in the normal course of business, including various matters assumed as part of the BNS acquisition. 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 Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit with goodwill may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment due to the change in reportable segments, which also resulted in changes to several reporting units. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing for goodwill under the reporting unit structure immediately before the change and determined that no impairment existed. The Company reallocated goodwill to the new reporting units under the new reporting structure and performed impairment testing for goodwill under the new segment reporting structure immediately after the change and determined that a $15.3 million goodwill impairment existed within one of the CCS reporting units at January 1, 2016. The impairment test was performed using a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation model. Significant assumptions in the DCF model are annual revenue growth rates, annual operating income margins and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the cash flow projections. The discount rate was based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital as of the test date for market participants in our reporting units’ industries. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, included a goodwill impairment charge of $74.4 million in the CMS segment. 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of revisions to the business plan for a particular product line, the Company determined that certain intangible assets in the CCS segment were no longer recoverable and a $7.4 million impairment charge was recorded. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, included a $10.9 million impairment charge in the CCS segment for a note receivable related to a previous divestiture. Other than the impairments described above, there were no other material asset impairments identified during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate of 11.4% and 24.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, was lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a reduction in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions and the release of valuation allowances related to certain foreign deferred tax assets. The effective income tax rate was also favorably affected by the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that the Company does not plan to repatriate. These earnings are generally taxed at rates lower than the United States (U.S.) statutory rate. Offsetting these decreases for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was the effect of the provision for state income taxes as well as the goodwill impairment for which only partial tax benefits were recorded. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflected the impact of impairment charges for which minimal tax benefits were recorded. The effective income tax rate was favorably affected by the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, benefits recognized from adjustments related to prior years’ tax returns and a reduction in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions. These benefits were partially offset by losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable. 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 effect of potentially dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive 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 (1.4 million shares and 1.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and 5.3 million shares and 1.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively). Antidilutive securities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 included 4.4 million shares of equity-based awards which would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position. The following table presents the basis for the earnings per share computations: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Numerator: Net income (loss) for basic and diluted earnings per share $ 93,831 $ (80,796 ) $ 168,372 $ 4,272 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 192,719 190,269 192,275 189,483 Dilutive effect of equity-based awards 3,879 — 3,866 4,447 Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 196,598 190,269 196,141 193,930 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic $ 0.49 $ (0.42 ) $ 0.88 $ 0.02 Diluted $ 0.48 $ (0.42 ) $ 0.86 $ 0.02 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, Cash Flow Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases supersedes the current leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	2. ACQUISITIONS Broadband Network Solutions On August 28, 2015, the Company acquired TE Connectivity’s BNS business in an all-cash transaction. The Company has made net payments of $3,017.4 million ($2,953.7 million net of cash acquired). As of September 30, 2016, the Company had a net payable of $1.0 million due to TE Connectivity for remaining purchase price adjustments. Net sales of $523.7 million and $1,367.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $141.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the acquired business are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are primarily reported in the CCS segment. The purchase price for BNS was assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and the excess was allocated to goodwill. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition and the subsequent measurement period adjustments to arrive at the final allocation of the purchase price at the acquisition date (in millions): Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date Measurement Period Adjustments Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (as adjusted) Cash and cash equivalents $ 63.7 $ — $ 63.7 Accounts receivable 252.9 (1.9 ) 251.0 Inventories 266.4 (12.3 ) 254.1 Other current assets 40.0 1.6 41.6 Property, plant and equipment 247.6 (1.6 ) 246.0 Goodwill 1,242.8 182.9 1,425.7 Identifiable intangible assets 1,150.0 (63.5 ) 1,086.5 Other noncurrent assets 22.3 3.0 25.3 Current liabilities (224.2 ) (4.8 ) (229.0 ) Noncurrent pension liabilities (30.5 ) 18.9 (11.6 ) Other noncurrent liabilities (27.1 ) (107.8 ) (134.9 ) Net acquisition cost $ 3,003.9 $ 14.5 $ 3,018.4 The Company has recorded measurement period adjustments since the acquisition date primarily related to the finalization of the valuation of inventory, intangible assets, plant and equipment, pension liabilities and deferred taxes. The impact of these measurement period adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) were not material to any current year period. If these adjustments had been applied at the original acquisition date, the impact to current year and prior year periods also would have been immaterial. The goodwill arising from the purchase price allocation of the BNS acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce. A significant portion of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Various valuation techniques were used to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Using these valuation approaches requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. There were certain foreign assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the BNS acquisition for which title did not transfer at the acquisition date although the consideration was paid as part of the overall purchase price discussed above. As of September 30, 2016, these transfers have been completed. The BNS amounts included in the following pro forma information are based on their historical results prepared on a carve-out basis of accounting and, therefore, may not be indicative of the actual results when operated as part of CommScope. The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates based on information available at the time the pro forma information was prepared and may differ from the adjustments that may actually have been required. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the results that would have been realized had the acquisition occurred as of the date indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The following table presents unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations for CommScope for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as though the BNS acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2014 (in millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2015 Net sales $ 1,247.3 $ 3,835.8 Net income (loss) (48.1 ) 57.2 Net income (loss) per diluted share (0.25 ) 0.29 These pro forma results reflect adjustments for net interest expense for the debt related to the acquisition; depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment that has been adjusted to its estimated fair value; amortization for intangible assets with finite lives identified separate from goodwill; equity-based compensation for equity awards issued to BNS employees; and the related income tax impacts of these adjustments. These pro forma results for the three and nine months ended September 2015, exclude $59.8 million and $80.1 million, respectively, of integration and transaction costs related to the BNS acquisition and $30.5 million of additional cost of goods sold related to the inventory mark up included in the purchase price allocation as these costs are nonrecurring to the Company. Airvana On October 1, 2015, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Airvana LP (Airvana), a provider of small cell solutions for wireless networks. The Company paid $45.1 million ($44.5 million net of cash acquired), including $1.0 million that was paid during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Airvana provides 4G LTE and 3G small cell solutions that enable communication and access to information and entertainment in challenging and high-value environments, such as office buildings and public venues. Net sales of Airvana products reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) were $4.1 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and are reported in the CMS segment. The allocation of the purchase price, based on estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is as follows (in millions): Estimated Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 0.6 Accounts receivable 4.2 Other assets 3.8 Property, plant and equipment 2.5 Goodwill 20.4 Identifiable intangible assets 19.1 Less: Liabilities assumed (5.5 ) Net acquisition cost $ 45.1 The goodwill arising from the purchase price allocation of the Airvana acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Senior PIK Toggle Notes In June 2016, the Company voluntarily redeemed $300.0 million of the senior PIK toggle notes. In August 2016, the Company voluntarily redeemed the remaining $236.6 million of the senior PIK toggle notes. The redemptions resulted in charges of $7.8 million and $17.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, which were reflected in other expense, net. In connection with the redemptions, $2.6 million and $6.1 million of debt issuance costs were written off and included in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Senior Secured Credit Facilities During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repaid $3.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively, of its senior secured term loans. No portion of the senior secured term loans was reflected as a current portion of long-term debt as of September 30, 2016 related to the potentially required excess cash flow payment because the amount that may be payable in 2017, if any, cannot currently be reliably estimated. There was no excess cash flow payment required in 2016 related to 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company did not borrow under its revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had availability of approximately $430.9 million under the asset-based revolving credit facility, after giving effect to borrowing base limitations and outstanding letters of credit. Other Matters The Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $2,369 million, or 32%, of total assets and approximately $603 million, or 10%, of total liabilities as of September 30, 2016 and accounted for approximately $526 million, or 41%, and $1,586 million, or 42%, of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $2,848 million, or 38%, of total assets and approximately $468 million, or 8%, of total liabilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $420 million, or 43%, and $1,173 million, or 44%, of net sales, respectively. All amounts presented exclude intercompany balances. CommScope, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a guarantor of the 2025 Notes and the issuer of each of the 2024 Notes, the 2021 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, other 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 the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, interest expense related to the senior PIK toggle notes was $5.2 million ($3.3 million net of tax) and $9.5 million ($6.1 million net of tax), respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, available-for-sale securities, debt instruments and foreign currency contracts. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were considered representative of their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities was based on quoted market prices. The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments and foreign currency contracts were based on indicative quotes. Fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, measurements using significant other observable inputs fall within Level 2, and measurements using significant unobservable inputs fall within Level 3. The carrying amounts, estimated fair values and valuation input levels of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, foreign currency contracts and debt instruments as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, are as follows: September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Valuation Inputs Assets: Available-for-sale securities $ 7,771 $ 7,771 $ 11,683 $ 11,683 Level 1 Foreign currency contracts 673 673 1,051 1,051 Level 2 Liabilities: 6.00% senior notes due 2025 1,500,000 1,599,450 1,500,000 1,430,700 Level 2 5.50% senior notes due 2024 650,000 680,875 650,000 617,500 Level 2 5.00% senior notes due 2021 650,000 672,750 650,000 619,125 Level 2 Senior PIK toggle notes due 2020 - - 536,630 544,679 Level 2 4.375% senior secured notes due 2020 500,000 516,250 500,000 500,000 Level 2 Senior secured term loan due 2022, at par 1,237,500 1,252,969 1,246,875 1,243,727 Level 2 Senior secured term loan due 2018, at par 261,875 263,021 261,875 260,068 Level 2 Foreign currency contracts 1,398 1,398 5,945 5,945 Level 2 Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a pretax intangible impairment charge of $7.4 million as described in Note 1. The valuation supporting the impairment charge is based on Level 3 valuation inputs. In the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a pretax goodwill impairment charge of $15.3 million due to the change in reportable segments as described in Note 1. The valuation supporting the goodwill impairment charge is based on Level 3 valuation inputs. These fair value estimates are based on pertinent information available to management as of the date made. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect these fair value estimates, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments and Geographic Information	8. SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION As of January 1, 2016, the Company reorganized its internal management and reporting structure as part of the integration of the BNS acquisition. The reorganization changed the information regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, the Company is reporting financial performance for the 2016 fiscal year based on its new operating segments: CommScope Connectivity Solutions (CCS) and CommScope Mobility Solutions (CMS). Both CCS and CMS represent non-aggregated reportable operating segments. All prior period amounts below have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes. The CCS segment provides connectivity and network intelligence for indoor and outdoor network applications. Indoor network solutions are found in commercial buildings and in the network core, which includes data centers, central offices and cable television headends. These solutions include optical fiber and twisted pair structured cabling applications, intelligent infrastructure software, network rack and cabinet enclosures, patch cords and panels, network design services, central office connectivity and equipment and headend solutions for the network core. Outdoor network solutions are found in access networks and include coaxial cabling and fiber-optic connectivity solutions, which include a robust portfolio of fiber optic connectors and fiber management systems. The CMS segment provides radio frequency (RF) wireless network connectivity solutions and DAS and small cell solutions to enable carriers’ 2G, 3G and 4G networks. These solutions enable wireless operators to deploy macro cell site, metro cell site, DAS and small cell solutions to meet coverage and capacity requirements. The CMS segment focuses on all aspects of the radio access network (RAN) from the macro through the metro, to the indoor layer. Macro cell solutions can be found at wireless tower sites and on rooftops and include base station antennas, microwave antennas, hybrid fiber-feeder and power cables, coaxial cables, connectors and filters. Metro cell solutions can be found on street poles and on other urban, outdoor structures and include RF delivery and connectivity solutions, equipment housing and concealment. These fully integrated outdoor systems consist of specialized antennas, filters/combiners, backhaul solutions, intra-system cabling and power distribution, all minimized to fit an urban environment. The DAS and small cell solutions allow wireless operators to increase spectral efficiency and thereby extend and enhance cellular coverage and capacity in challenging network conditions such as commercial buildings, urban areas, stadiums and transportation systems.

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Costs	9. RESTRUCTURING COSTS Prior to the acquisition of the BNS business, the Company initiated restructuring actions to realign and lower its cost structure primarily through workforce reductions and other cost reduction initiatives, including the cessation of manufacturing operations at various facilities. Production capacity from these facilities has been shifted to other existing facilities or unaffiliated suppliers. These actions are referred to as cost alignment restructuring actions. Following the acquisition of BNS in 2015, the Company initiated a series of restructuring actions to integrate the BNS operations (BNS integration restructuring actions) to achieve cost synergies. All charges related to these restructuring actions are reported in restructuring costs, net. The Company’s net pretax restructuring charges, by segment, were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 CCS $ 8,362 $ 4,108 $ 16,062 $ 5,185 CMS 2,464 2,760 8,441 5,448 Total $ 10,826 $ 6,868 $ 24,503 $ 10,633 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 fixed asset disposals 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. The activity within the liability established for the cost alignment restructuring actions was as follows: Employee- Related Costs Lease Termination Costs Fixed Asset Related Costs Total Balance as of June 30, 2016 $ 452 $ 6,496 $ — $ 6,948 Additional charge recorded 126 48 — 174 Cash paid (129 ) (433 ) — (562 ) Foreign exchange and other non-cash items 2 — — 2 Balance as of September 30, 2016 $ 451 $ 6,111 $ — $ 6,562 Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 1,005 $ 7,370 $ — $ 8,375 Additional charge recorded 100 223 (203 ) 120 Cash paid (681 ) (1,482 ) — (2,163 ) Consideration received — — 3,656 3,656 Foreign exchange and other non-cash items 27 — (3,453 ) (3,426 ) Balance as of September 30, 2016 $ 451 $ 6,111 $ — $ 6,562 The Company has recognized restructuring charges of $89.0 million since January 2011 for cost alignment restructuring actions. Additional pretax costs of $0.5 million to $1.0 million are expected to be incurred to complete these previously announced initiatives. Cash payments of $0.5 million to $1.0 million are expected during the remainder of 2016 with additional payments of $6.5 million to $7.0 million between 2017 and 2022. The activity within the liability established for the BNS integration restructuring actions was as follows: Employee- Related Costs Lease Termination Costs Fixed Asset Related Costs Total Balance as of June 30, 2016 $ 21,257 $ — $ — $ 21,257 Additional charge recorded 10,900 249 (497 ) 10,652 Cash paid (8,517 ) — (856 ) (9,373 ) Foreign exchange and other non-cash items (21 ) — 1,353 1,332 Balance as of September 30, 2016 $ 23,619 $ 249 $ — $ 23,868 Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 28,714 $ — $ — $ 28,714 Additional charge recorded 19,923 249 4,211 24,383 Cash paid (24,852 ) — (2,600 ) (27,452 ) Foreign exchange and other non-cash items (166 ) — (1,611 ) (1,777 ) Balance as of September 30, 2016 $ 23,619 $ 249 $ — $ 23,868 The BNS integration actions include the announced closure or reduction in activities at various U.S. and international facilities as well as headcount reductions in sales, marketing and administrative functions. The Company has recognized restructuring charges of $48.2 million since the acquisition date for BNS integration actions. Additional pretax costs of $0.1 million to $0.5 million are expected to be incurred to complete the previously announced BNS integration initiatives. Cash payments of $9.0 million to $10.0 million are expected during the remainder of 2016 with additional payments of $14.0 million to $15.0 million between 2017 and 2019. Additional restructuring charges related to BNS restructuring actions are expected and the resulting amounts may be material. Restructuring reserves related to all actions were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Other accrued liabilities $ 20,887 $ 24,480 Other noncurrent liabilities 9,543 12,609 Total liability $ 30,430 $ 37,089 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.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Equity-Based Compensation Plans As of September 30, 2016, $63.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options, restricted stock unit awards (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.5 years. There were no significant capitalized equity-based compensation costs at September 30, 2016. In March 2016, the Company modified certain equity-based compensation awards to extend the exercise period in the case of retirement, death or disability. This modification resulted in a change in the fair value of certain stock option awards. The incremental compensation cost that resulted from the modification was $1.6 million which was fully recognized at the time of the modification. The following table shows a summary of the equity-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Selling, general and administrative $ 6,409 $ 4,324 $ 20,306 $ 16,038 Cost of sales 1,104 761 3,551 2,821 Research and development 862 592 2,764 2,196 Total equity-based compensation expense $ 8,375 $ 5,677 $ 26,621 $ 21,055 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 Option Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value Options outstanding as of June 30, 2016 6,625 $ 10.10 Granted 11 $ 29.59 Exercised (234 ) $ 7.03 Forfeited (34 ) $ 21.07 Options outstanding as of September 30, 2016 6,368 $ 10.19 5.0 $ 127,299 Options outstanding as of December 31, 2015 7,458 $ 8.81 Granted 385 $ 25.08 Exercised (1,246 ) $ 6.93 Forfeited (229 ) $ 8.02 Options outstanding as of September 30, 2016 6,368 $ 10.19 5.0 $ 127,299 Options exercisable at September 30, 2016 5,497 $ 7.49 4.4 $ 124,378 Options expected to vest at September 30, 2016 868 $ 27.28 8.6 $ 2,910 The exercise prices of outstanding options at September 30, 2016 were in the following ranges: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Shares (in thousands) Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Shares (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share $2.96 to $5.35 380 2.5 $ 2.96 380 $ 2.96 $5.36 to $5.67 342 5.3 $ 5.57 327 $ 5.57 $5.68 to $8.54 3,312 4.3 $ 5.74 3,312 $ 5.74 $8.55 to $8.90 1,032 3.8 $ 8.61 1,032 $ 8.61 $8.91 to $23.00 462 7.3 $ 22.55 426 $ 22.91 $23.01 to $33.12 840 8.7 $ 28.07 20 $ 28.90 $2.96 to $33.12 6,368 5.0 $ 10.19 5,497 $ 7.49 The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant. 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Expected option term (in years) 6.0 5.0 6.0 5.6 Risk-free interest rate 1.2 % 1.5 % 1.4 % 1.6 % Expected volatility 50.0 % 43.0 % 50.0 % 43.0 % Weighted average exercise price $ 29.59 $ 27.69 $ 25.08 $ 29.38 Weighted average fair value at grant date $ 14.17 $ 14.34 $ 12.09 $ 13.74 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 over three years and the number of shares issued can vary from 0% to 150% of the number of PSUs granted depending on performance. 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 Share Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Non-vested share units at June 30, 2016 444 $ 27.24 Granted 5 $ 29.59 Forfeited (9 ) $ 30.76 Non-vested share units at September 30, 2016 440 $ 27.20 Non-vested share units at December 31, 2015 175 $ 30.76 Granted 274 $ 25.05 Forfeited (9 ) $ 30.76 Non-vested share units at September 30, 2016 440 $ 27.20 Restricted Stock Units RSUs entitle the holder to shares of common stock after a vesting period that generally ranges from one to three years.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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 these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year. The BNS business results of operations that are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are for the fiscal periods June 25, 2016 through September 30, 2016 and December 26, 2015 through September 30, 2016, respectively. The BNS business results for the three months ended September 30, 2016 include fourteen weeks compared to thirteen weeks in each of the first two quarters of 2016. The BNS business results of operations that are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are from August 28, 2015, the date of acquisition, through their fiscal period ended September 25, 2015. 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, 2015 (the 2015 Annual Report). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
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 11% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net sales to Anixter accounted for 13% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the CCS segment. Other than Anixter, no other direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015. Accounts receivable from Anixter and Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) each represented approximately 11% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016. Other than Anixter and Verizon, no direct customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group (Carlyle) owned 10.2% 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Product warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 18,356 $ 15,194 $ 17,964 $ 17,054 Accrual assumed in BNS acquisition — 1,900 — 1,900 Provision for warranty claims 3,435 2,054 7,954 5,968 Warranty claims paid (14 ) (3,127 ) (4,141 ) (8,901 ) Product warranty accrual, end of period $ 21,777 $ 16,021 $ 21,777 $ 16,021
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, including various matters assumed as part of the BNS acquisition. 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 Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit with goodwill may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment due to the change in reportable segments, which also resulted in changes to several reporting units. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing for goodwill under the reporting unit structure immediately before the change and determined that no impairment existed. The Company reallocated goodwill to the new reporting units under the new reporting structure and performed impairment testing for goodwill under the new segment reporting structure immediately after the change and determined that a $15.3 million goodwill impairment existed within one of the CCS reporting units at January 1, 2016. The impairment test was performed using a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation model. Significant assumptions in the DCF model are annual revenue growth rates, annual operating income margins and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the cash flow projections. The discount rate was based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital as of the test date for market participants in our reporting units’ industries. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, included a goodwill impairment charge of $74.4 million in the CMS segment. 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of revisions to the business plan for a particular product line, the Company determined that certain intangible assets in the CCS segment were no longer recoverable and a $7.4 million impairment charge was recorded. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, included a $10.9 million impairment charge in the CCS segment for a note receivable related to a previous divestiture. Other than the impairments described above, there were no other material asset impairments identified during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate of 11.4% and 24.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, was lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a reduction in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions and the release of valuation allowances related to certain foreign deferred tax assets. The effective income tax rate was also favorably affected by the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that the Company does not plan to repatriate. These earnings are generally taxed at rates lower than the United States (U.S.) statutory rate. Offsetting these decreases for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was the effect of the provision for state income taxes as well as the goodwill impairment for which only partial tax benefits were recorded. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflected the impact of impairment charges for which minimal tax benefits were recorded. The effective income tax rate was favorably affected by the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, benefits recognized from adjustments related to prior years’ tax returns and a reduction in tax expense related to uncertain tax positions. These benefits were partially offset by losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable.
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 effect of potentially dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive 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 (1.4 million shares and 1.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and 5.3 million shares and 1.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively). Antidilutive securities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 included 4.4 million shares of equity-based awards which would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position. The following table presents the basis for the earnings per share computations: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Numerator: Net income (loss) for basic and diluted earnings per share $ 93,831 $ (80,796 ) $ 168,372 $ 4,272 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 192,719 190,269 192,275 189,483 Dilutive effect of equity-based awards 3,879 — 3,866 4,447 Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 196,598 190,269 196,141 193,930 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic $ 0.49 $ (0.42 ) $ 0.88 $ 0.02 Diluted $ 0.48 $ (0.42 ) $ 0.86 $ 0.02
