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.

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 ❍ The new LN3040 3-Axis lump and neck detector
