by the fiber optic cable and connectors
used. The product housings are molded
from impact-resistant, chemical-resistant
UV stabilized polycarbonate and are
UL94-HB flame retardant.
The MR398-JB series complements
Micronor’s range of harsh environment
fiber optic encoders and industrial grade
PUR-jacketed optical cabling. Standard
models include LC duplex to LC-duplex,
and ODVA LC to ODVA LC; special
configurations can be engineered for
interfacing other connector and cabling
types.
Smaller, more durable reeling cable
TPC Wire & Cable Corp has introduced
a new addition to its Trex-Onics
®
series of
cables. The new Trex-Onics extra-heavy
duty reeling cable was designed with a
smaller diameter and lighter weight to
reduce wear and tear on reels, connectors
and the cable itself.
In addition to providing excellent
abrasion resistance, the heavy duty TPE
dual-layer jacket contains a reinforcing
aramid braid between the layers. This
braid provides greater than 1,800lb of
tensile load capability, which practically
eliminates cork-screwing under tension
and the premature cable failure common
to standard multi-conductor cables. The
cable offers UV resistance and flexibility to
-50°C.
The Trex-Onics reduced diameter,
extra-heavy duty reeling cable can be
used in any application where a cable
is pulled in tension, either hanging or
retracting from a reel, such as cranes
and hoists, power tracks or cable carriers,
industrial elevators and festoon systems.
“This new reeling cable was designed to
provide exceptional performance while
dramatically reducing the overall cable
weight,” said Todd Hadbavny, product
manager at TPC.
