signal when long lengths of bare wire are detected. Clintonwill alsoexhibit anddemonstrate the STCAL automatic spark tester calibration system. The STCAL systemwill calibrate high frequency AC, mains frequency AC, and DC spark testers to all major specifications. Calibration is automatically performed and documented on all of Clinton’s new B-Series spark testers and selected A-Series models. Manual or assisted calibration can be performed on older Clinton units as well as equipment manufactured by others. When paired with Clinton’s model SM sensitivity tester, a complete calibration solution to IEC and NEMA standards is provided. Maillefer staff will be on hand to discuss high performance and cost-effective manufacturing solutions for fiber optic cables. “IWCS is an important venue for the cable and connectivity industry and we are proud to join the suppliers’ exhibition,” said Dr Mikko Lahti, R&D director. At the conference Dr Lahti will present his paper entitled ‘Exploring the Limits of Buffering Process for Both Standard and Micro Tubes’. He will be available during the whole conference and suppliers’ exhibition to discuss the results of his work and the manufacturing solutions currently available. Maillefer Booth 207

The company’s high performance solutions offer a wide variety of innovations. For example, the compression technology with tension feedback serves to keep precise control of excess fiber length (EFL) on the fiber optic secondary coating line OEL 40. And with OEL 40///Explore Maillefer has reached the ultra-high production speed of 1,000m/min. The company provides manufacturing solutions for every stage of the fiber optic cable process. The portfolio includes tight buffering, secondary coating, SZ stranding and jacketing lines available for production ranging from long haul cables to FTTx with low fiber counts and short lengths. Medek & Schörner Booth 305 Medek & Schörner produces a range of • High quality gravure printers (LAN cables, control cables, etc) for speeds up to 1,200m/min • Water misting unit for the application of fine water dust for pre-cooling of the hot wire immediately after the extruder • Embossing meter markers/hot foil sequential meter markers for high accuracy of length measurement (power cables, telecommunication cables, optical fibre cables, etc) • High performance ring markers for marking telephone wires, switchboard cable marking machines: Cable marking machines:
