Cimteq is a supplier of cable design software
to the wire and cable industry. The company’s
flagship product, CableBuilder, allows cable
manufacturers to take a new approach to
cable design that results in a more efficient
design process.
Since 1998, Cimteq has focused on the
development and delivery of knowledge-
based design software to provide cable
producing companies with a solution to
speed up their design process, reduce
quotation lead time and improve customer
service.
Over the years, Cimteq’s customer base has
expanded to include Europe, North and South
America, the Middle East and Africa.
It is not a surprise that CableBuilder was
received so well internationally. The
application was developed with the aid of
cable design and sales departments from
different countries with different cultures and
working practices.
Today’s CableBuilder is a feature rich
application with the flexibility to model
any cable construction in any working
environment.
Looking forwards to the next 10 years, Cimteq
plans to continue to deliver CableBuilder as its
flagship product and all the required services
to implement and support it.

Clinton Instrument Company will be
displaying the new AC30AR/BD-A418 mains
frequency spark test unit for the first time
in Europe. This 30KV unit was designed
for larger cables that require elevated test
voltages. Fully CE approved and Profibus-
ready, the AC-30AR offers ease of string-up
and reduced shipping costs due to a smaller
cubic requirement.
The new electrode design allows the operator
to move the cable horizontally into a split
electrode that places half of the beads on
each side of the cable.
The electrode is supported off the rear of the
unit, assuring no path to ground should water
enter the high voltage section.
All electronics and high voltage generation
are located in the rear of the machine for
protection from stray water damage.
Operator controls are housed in a small
enclosure that can easily be remotely rack-
mounted and connected via a RS-485 cable,
allowing flexible and convenient placement
of the electrode in the wire line. Optional
Profibus, Ethernet and Analogue modules
allow for easy connection to line control
systems; contact connection points for simple
rewind line configurations are accessible as
well. ➣➢➣
