The wire and cable exhibition season is full steam ahead
with wire 2014 in Düsseldorf, Gemany, and then Wire
Expo in Indianapolis, USA, from 5th to 7th May.
Both sections feature heavily in the largest-ever issue of
wiredInUSA – the Düsseldorf section starts on page 66
and Wire Expo on page 46.
If you’re attending either show, please feel free to stop
by and collect your free CD copy of wiredInUSA and
copies of sister publications EuroWire and Wire & Cable
ASIA.
In Germany we can be found on stand 11D28 and at
booth 108 at Wire Expo.
America’s first offshore wind farm is also taking shape,
with Prysmian and Caldwell Marine International being
awarded contracts for the provision and installation of
intra-array, export power and underwater cables for the
site. See page 9 for the full story.
Repair work has also been undertaken on suspension
cables at the William E Gordon radio telescope in
Puerto Rico following damage during an earthquake
measuring 6.4 magnitude in January. Read all about it
on page 10.
