while loading up to four eco-friendly bags
and two reels or boxes.
With many installers expressing a wish to
minimize on-site waste that comes from
cardboard boxes, the system’s CableM8
bags offer an effective alternative.
The shrink-wrap packaging can be packed
into an empty bag for recycling, leaving up
to 30 times less waste post-installation.
Testing subsea spares
C-Kore Systems has delivered two C-Kore
units to Statoil.
The C-Kore subsea testing tools are used
on both fault-finding and construction
campaigns to confirm the insulation
resistance and continuity of spare electrical
cables located on the seabed, and provide
quick and accurate readings.
Tim Overfield, managing director of C-Kore
commented: “With our C-Kore subsea
testing tools we offer our customers a
new option when it comes to testing
their equipment subsea. They no longer
have to work with down-lines, which are
cumbersome to deploy and often give
inaccurate readings.
“We always hear from customers how
pleased they are with our C-Kore units
because they are so easy to use, saving
them a lot of money in the end.”
Material improvement
Borealis and Borouge have launched the
first
azodicarbonamide-free(ADCA-free)
material for use as a blowing agent in
foamed communication cables.
The ADCA-free grade HE4883 was
developed in partnership with Brand-Rex Ltd,
a developer of cabling solutions for network
infrastructure and industrial applications,
and is expected to be in demand for higher
category communication cables.
