Super-size cables for Iraq
CMS (Cable Management Supplies) Ltd went that extra mile,
literally, when it recently supplied the Ministry of Defence with
fibre optic cables for use in Iraq.
Whereas CMS customers typically order fibre in lengths of 250m
to 500m, the MoD required lengths of from two kilometres up to
eight and ten kilometres.The fibre will be used to extend Army
communications and reconstruct civilian networks in Iraq.
CMS is able to
handle fibre orders
of any size from
small custom-made
lengths and as-
semblies to large
bulk requirements.
Most cables can
be delivered the
next working day,
before 1pm, at no
extra charge on
orders of more
than £100.

New allround device for
resistance measurement
Resistance measurement and Resistomat ® are terms
that belong together. Burster presents, with its brand
new and value for money Resistomat® 2316, a tough,
universal and compact resistance measurement
device that suits applications in both rough industry
surroundings and laboratory conditions.
More than 40 years of knowledge and experience in
the field of resistance measurement went into the
development of this measurement device that
combines precision, as well as easy handling and
system integration.
The instrument measures resistances in the range of
2,0000 mΩ up to 200,00 kΩ with an accuracy of
0.03% rdg, while resolution in the smallest range
reaches 0.1 μΩ. An especially developed measure-
ment input protection allows the measurement of
inductive samples such as electric motors and
transformers, as well as coils with iron core.
Autorange, temperature compensation of the test
sample, cable fraction detection and thermo-voltage
compensation are self-evident. For the integration to
fully automatic test stations the instrument features
a PLC and RS232/USB interface.
