Excess Fiber Length (EFL) measure-
ment system. The latest EFL
measurement system enables manu-
facturers to efficiently, accurately and
reliably produce loose tube fibre and
fibre ribbon cable. It does this by
effectively controlling the excess fibre
length to make sure the fibre-to-
jacket ratio of product meets exact
production specifications. This elimi-
nates time-consuming and costly
techniques such as cutting cable, and
exposing and cleaning cable fibres to
measure product and calculate the
excess fibre length-to-jacket ratio. The
EFL measurement system integrates
Beta LaserMike’s LaserSpeed® length
and speed gauges and EFLTrak™
software. DCM bench-top LAN/data
cable testing systems. In addition,
Beta LaserMike will introduce its new
DCM SCS-700 and ES-2G automated
testing systems for four-pair LAN/data
cables. These systems enable cable
makers to test more cable, faster, with
higher quality results. The DCM
SCS-700 tests Cat 5e/6/6a cables to
700 MHz and offers a low-frequency
option to test cables down to 100 Hz.
Dual-frequency testing can be per-
formed with a single connection to
significantly reduce set-up and testing
time.
The DCM ES-2G tests Cat
5/6/6a/7/7a/8 cables to 2.2 GHz. A
new technology eliminates the effect
of jacket removal on reflection
measurements, such as input
impedance and return loss. Both the
DCM SCS-700 and ES-2G systems
are engineered with an automated
four-pair switching platform, enabling
a cable test in less than three minutes.
Both systems include easy-to-use
testing software with complete test
management and reporting capabilities.
Application specialists will also be
available to discuss the following
measurement and control solutions for
wire and cable: LayScan lay length
measurement system; LaserSpeed
length and speed gauge; high-
frequency spark tester and pre-heater
systems; LN Series lump and
neckdown detectors; BenchMike
table-top cut sample measurement
system; DataPro process controller
and data management system; SRL
Pro on-line structural return loss (SRL)
prediction and analysis system; and
DCM cable testing systems,
bench-top and fully integrated, for
LAN/data, telecom, coaxial and
aerospace/defence cables.
