Sumitomo Electric Industries of Yokohama, Japan, has selected Reelex

fibre optic cables.
Tom Copp, president of Reelex, said: “We are pleased that Sumitomo
has chosen Reelex as the preferred package for their line of fibre
optic cables.
“We have long believed the fibre optic cable industry would benefit from
Reelex in the same way the LAN and Coaxial cable segments have.
“This is the culmination of a long development effort undertaken with
Sumitomo. They are the first fibre optic manufacturer to purchase
Reelex equipment to be used exclusively for fibre optic cables.”
