New lines on show
Alpha Wire will be in Munich in November
for Electronica 2014, the world’s largest
electronic trade fair. The company will be
showcasing the tough new Pro-Tekt line
of cables, and its growing EcoGen line of
wire and cable.
Alpha Wire will be featuring the newest
addition to the EcoGen family, EcoCable
Mini. This 300V cable is AlphaWire’s smallest
and lightest cable, said to be up to 32
percent smaller and 44 percent lighter
than standard 300V PVC cable.
“EcoCable Mini is the smallest solution to
our customers’ biggest cable problems.
The size and weight savings are great
for the newest designs coming out in all
markets,” stated Emmanuel Deboval,
director of sales EMEA at Alpha Wire. “We
are sure the audience at Electronica will
be impressed by the size and weight of
this cable and will be able to take samples
home with them.”
EcoCable Mini features recyclable
mPPE jacketing and insulation with
superior dielectric properties, a -40°C to
+80°C temperature range, five shielding
options, and is available in over 250
standard multi-conductor and multi-pair
constructions from 28 to 20 AWG. Custom
and composite configurations are also
available.
Extended cable range
Huber+Suhner has extended its existing
range of shielded Radox® battery and
high voltage cables to offer the entire
cross-section set to automotive customers.
In compliance with ISO 6722, the company
now offers the intermediate cross sections
8, 12, 20, 30, 40 and 60mm2 in addition to
its standard sizes. Radox power cables are
suited to high voltage applications in hybrid
and electric vehicles; the cable shielding
prevents interference with the sensors and
electronics in the vehicle space. The entire
product group is also available unshielded.
Huber+Suhner is among the first
manufacturers to offer the entire
cross-section set from 1.5mm2 up to
150mm2. Where thicker cables had
previously to be used if the appropriate
intermediate cross-sectionwas unavailable,
a suitable cross-section is now said to exist
for every application, offering important
space, weight and cost savings to car
makers.
Radox cables have an electron beam
cross-linked insulation, resistant to
weathering, ozone,moistureandchemicals.
The cables are designed for high and
low temperatures and feature excellent
abrasion resistance.

RET cable
Habia Cable has launched new remote
electrical tilt (RET) cables for mobile station
antennas. RET, or variable downtilt, antennas
enable mobile phone network operators to
optimize a network by adjusting the beam
of an antenna to meet changing conditions
such as variations in the density of traffic
during the day. Typically the movement
of the antenna array is controlled using an
RS485 signal carried over a multicore cable
together with electrical power to drive a
motor. The demands on the cable are high,
as they need to withstand the typically harsh
environmental conditions at the top of a
mast.
Brian Dempster, business development
manager at Habia Cable, described the
new RET cables as tested and approved for
temperatures from -40º to +60ºC as well as in
conditionsofmoisture, UV, dust andvibration,
and electromagnetic interference.
