Delegates from major LAN cable
producers within the United States
attended a three-day demonstration at
Gauder’s Greensboro facility.
The Quali2Twist assembling line is the
latest cabling machine for production
of LAN cable (UTP/FTP/SSTP) Cat 5,
5E, 6, 6e, 7 and 10 Gig. During the
demonstration several different types
of cable were assembled, ranging from
a standard solid PE Cat 5e UTP to a
FEP Cat 7 FTP with Mylar/Al tape.
Quali2Twist is said to operate at twice
the capacity of a conventional single
twist laying-up line, achieving speeds
of up to 1,600 twists per minute during
the demonstration.
The line is designed to give the same
quality and consistency of cable as
common single twist machines, but
with speeds closer to a double twist.
However, unlike a standard double
twist process, there is no cable
geometry modification after the
assembling point. Impedance is very
stable and NEXT level is extremely low
at 250 Mhz.
The entire line was sold during the
event and will soon be producing up to
Cat 6e UTP/FTP cables.
