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.

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.
