Aug 3 (Reuters) -

Connecticut-based Amphenol ( APH ) is nearing a deal to buy

communication network infrastructure provider CommScope

Holding's ( COMM ) connectivity and cable unit, in a deal valued

at roughly $10 billion including debt, the Wall Street Journal

reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The transaction could be completed as soon as Monday,

assuming no last-minute snags, the newspaper reported.

In May, Bloomberg News reported that North

Carolina-based CommScope ( COMM ) was

exploring

a sale of its broadband connectivity and cable solutions

division, its largest unit by sales and operating income.

CommScope's ( COMM ) wireless network provides infrastructure for

mobile networks, while its antenna systems unit provides

services for cellular infrastructure inside venues, campuses and

enterprises.

Connecticut-based Amphenol ( APH )

struck

a deal last year to buy CommScope's ( COMM ) outdoor wireless

network and its distributed antenna systems businesses for $2.1

billion in cash.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Amphenol ( APH ) and CommScope Holding ( COMM ) did not immediately respond to

Reuters' request for comment.
