Models in the DSP Series include the DSP1 and DSP2. These pots can hold one pound of the Dip Strip chemical. The DSP1 has a standardvariable temperaturecontrol, while the DSP2 features an advanced feedback temperature control. The DSP1 stripping pot is designed for use with very fine wire from 40 to 48 gauge and uses the Ultrafine Stripper chemical. This chemical starts as a liquid and has a lower surface tension than Dip Strip. Corning Incorporated has introduced a new optical cabling development for data centers and storage area networks. Edge8 is believed to be the industry’s first modular, tip-to-tip optical cabling system to feature an eight fiber (base-8) cabling design that maximizes per-rack-unit density and offers cost-effective migration to transmission speeds up to 400 gigabits per second. “Corning’s Edge8 solutions help data center operators deliver an optimal end-user experience, while mitigating the uncertainty associated with ever-increasing transmissionspeedsandcontinuallyevolving standards,” said Stuart Hoiness, senior vice president of enterprise networks, Corning Optical Communications. “Installing a base-8 cabling system like Edge8 today provides the simplest, most flexible path to 40, 100, and 400 gigabits per second in the future.” Edge8 solutions, with eight-fiber MTP ® connectors, make it easy to match the fiber count in the backbone of data Cables save space, heat and money

includes numerous high density signal configurations and tailored versions for power (up to 15A) and data transfer (USB 3.0 with 5A power). The shells are keyed and color-coded for reliable and simple handling. Other product features include watertight protection class IP 68; 5,000 mating cycles durability; a break-away function for maximum safety; rugged, non-reflective surfaces; and an operating temperature range of -51°C to +125°C ( -60°F to +257°F).

Safer stripping

The Eraser Company’s DSP series chemical wire strippers are designed to remove insulation from magnet and enamel wire, including litz wire, without damaging the wire itself.

DSP pots are designed specifically for use with Dip Strip. Dip Strip starts as a solid crystal form and melts to a liquid when heated. Wires are immersed in the chemical, which will bubble slightly as the insulation is removed. The stripped wires are then rinsed in water and Dip Clean 2 metal cleaner to remove oxides and residue, and then again in water. Dip Strip does not corrode conductors, and the chemicals do not fume.
