GREETINGS FROM THE IWCS DIRECTOR — Welcome to Atlanta!We are pleased to welcome you to the IWCS 2015 Cable • Connectivity Symposium! The 2015 conference builds on the highly successful program from 2014, with even greater support from the industry in the form of rich technical content, participation in the Suppliers’ Exhibition, attendance and sponsorship.This is the 64th annual IWCS conference, which is a testament to the value that we continue to bring to you and your international cable and connectivity industry colleagues. Your IWCS 2015™ has a number of exciting enhancements this year that will provide you an excellent learning and networking experience! After 10 years of rotating between Providence, RI and Charlotte, NC, we had feedback from our attendees to try different locations every so often. We selected Atlanta for its convenient international and domestic logistics and trust you had a smooth travel experience. We certainly hope that you enjoy the “southern hospitality” that Atlanta has to offer. The Hyatt Regency Hotel is both the IWCS 2015 venue and our host hotel. 2015 is also the first year the Conference is being held in October, a month earlier than the usual mid-November. We hope this change is beneficial for attendees and allows for fewer conflicts with the hectic end-of-year work demands and holiday schedules.Our 2015 program starts with the IWCS Professional Development Courses. These courses have always been cited as the outstanding training ground for both professionals new to the industry, and for brushing up on new technologies for those veterans keeping up with change. The Courses are led by industry professionals who provide a complete view of the subject matter, including exhaustive course materials. The courses run on Monday, October 5th so that participants will not miss any of the Conference program beginning on Tuesday. The Executive Session and Technical Symposium contains over 130 papers/presentations in 18 compelling Sessions, from Tuesday, October 6 through Thursday afternoon, October 8. The Suppliers Exhi-bition continues its two-day program on Tuesday and Wednesday, with plenty of opportunity/incentive for attendees to visit the exhibits. The Plenary Luncheon will feature the keynote address, Optical Solutions to Meet the Future Demands of ‘The Internet of Things’, by Michael A. Bell, PE, Sr. VP & GM, Optical Connectivity Solutions, Corning Optical Communications. Mr. Bell will address his unique perspectives and vision on the topic, which promises to be a highlight of the conference. The Plenary will also feature recognition for best papers and presenters of 2014. It is open to all Technical Symposium registered attendees, but please keep in mind that seating is limited.We recognize that networking is a critical element of any industry gathering, and we plan for plenty of opportunities at IWCS 2015. On Tuesday, IWCS will host a hospitality hour in the exhibit hall with your Suppliers and Customers. After the exhibits close, the Wire & Cable Industry Suppliers Association® (WCISA®) will join us to host a reception to honor our industry’s young professionals, new visitors to IWCS and students who are showing interest to join our industry upon graduation. Plan to join us for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres prior to your evening dinner plans.Once again, welcome to Atlanta. The fine restaurants and lounges of this historic city are looking forward to your visit as well. Our most important goal is to meet all of your expectations for a valuable learning and networking experience. We look forward to meeting you and hearing of any suggestions you have to further improve your IWCS Conference in the years to come! I wish you a productive and enjoyable visit to IWCS 2015! — David B. Kiddoo

The Clinton Instrument Company, the inven-tor of the 3 kHz High Frequency Sine Wave Spark Tester, is proud to announce the newest and most advanced 3 kHz AC spark tester, Model HF-15B. This new model se-ries replaces the highly successful HF-15A, first shown at Interwire in 2001. Since then, well over 10,000 HF-15A units have been shipped worldwide. In addition to the well-known reliability of Clinton spark testers, the HF-15B offers customers the ability to utilize many new technologies, providing easier integration, more information, and flexible solutions in response to difficult applications. The HF-15B features a large adjustable alphanumeric display, with multiple viewing options, that can be mounted directly to the test station or located remotely up to 200 feet away. Operating personnel can view a wide variety of relevant information directly on the front panel, toggling easily between “percent-load” and four different types of fault conditions. These are: Pinhole, Multiple Pinhole, Direct Metal Contact, and Gross Bare Wire. These fault types are analyzed and differentiated through the use of the HF-15B’s revolutionary DSP-Based Fault Typing (patent pending). When testing smaller wires with the HF-15B spark tester, the design of the new BD-12S Split-electrode (patent pending) provides maximum coverage on cable during testing and makes string-up both quick and easy. The HF-15B can be used as a stand-alone spark tester or it can be easily integrated into production lines. Four sets of relay outputs are provided, each with selectable functions allowing users to fully customize signals to include standard “high voltage on” indication, gen-eral fault alarm, bare wire alarm, plus many more options. A “voltage-watchdog” signal is now offered, which will signal when the spark tester is adjusted outside of an allow-able preset voltage range. PLC Integration is simple when connecting with Modbus RTU via RS-485 full duplex. Optional Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Profibus, Modbus TCP, and Analog Communications are offered as integrated upgrades to the new series when desired. The HF-15B Series supports fully auto-

matic calibration of voltage and sensitivity to EN50356, IEC/CEI 62230 and NEMA standards when using the Clinton Instrument Company’s STCAL system. The HF-15B Spark Tester and the STCAL Calibration System will be shown during the IWCS show in October in booth 312.

NDC will present the latest LayScan lay length measurement system and most recent DCM ES-2G four-pair LAN/Data cable testing system. The latest version LayScan accurately and con-sistently measures the lay length of twisted pairs in data communication cables, such as Cat 5e/6/6a/7a products. It solves scrap, costly rework and productivity loss prob-lems due to manual, time-consuming lay length measurement methods and crosstalk performance issues from lay variations. LayScan can be used to measure the four pairs at the cabler or to measure an individ-ual pair at a twinner to confirm the accuracy of twisted-pair cable construction during production. A data acquisition and control system effectively collects and processes each lay length and enables you to use off-line analysis tools such as trend charts, sta-tistical analysis or FFT analysis to readily observe, measure and report systematic lay variations. LayScan measures lay lengths up to 25.4 mm at throughput speeds up to 152.4 mpm with a measurement accuracy to within 1 mil on the same twisted pair. The most recent DCM ES-2G testing platform extends the high-frequency measurement range to test Cat 5e/6/6a/7/7a cables now up to 2.2 GHz. This bench-top system is also optimized to test next-generation 40 Gb/s Cat 8 cables. The base unit in-cludes automatic four-pair switching and the baluns needed to interface the cable

under test to an external vector network analyzer for fast cable testing. Testing can be performed in less than 3 minutes. The DCM ES-2G cable testing system is also equipped with innovative technology that eliminates the effect of jacket removal on reflection measurements, such as input impedance and return loss. The heart of the system is the Windows®-based software engine that includes a simple-to-use test program with automatic comparison to the test specification, full test reporting and data management.

In particular, unshielded and shielded twisted-pair, quad, ribbon, subsea umbilical and specialty cables are modeled, as well as flex circuits from DC to 10 GHz in telecommunication and data transmis-sion applications. OptEM Cable Designer uses hierarchical-design techniques where

existing design elements are building blocks (instances) in constructing higher level designs. Built-in libraries of materials (frequency and non-frequency depend-ent) and object definitions are used in construction and can be easily customized. Objects in the cross section are tagged with properties like core material (conductor or dielectric), color and plating. Each design instance has its own unique position, rota-tion and lay length properties which provide realistic twisting parameters for individual pairs, bundles, shields and cables. The software uses an EM field solver to analyze high frequency skin and proximity effects in wires, eddy currents in shields, and dielec-tric losses in insulation. Frequency depend-ent data is also incorporated by identifying variations in material properties at different frequencies. On output the software provides ASCII reports for LRCG param-eters, and plots S-parameter data for RL, IL, NEXT, FEXT, ELFEXT, and PS-NEXT and PS-FEXT. Enhanced features of the software include importing cable geometry from an Excel spreadsheet that supports custom libraries of wires and strands, and Design Advisor modules Pair Advisor (it-eratively calculates conductor and insulate diameters which fulfill a selected standard) and Lay Length Advisor (calculates the lay lengths of a four-pair cable based on as-signed design properties).Exhibit Personnel: Juliusz Poltz, Joan Beckett

The new grades are: Fireguard 910A-72-NL for jacketing “hybrid” insulation in Category 5e and Category 6 unshielded plenum cables; Fireguard 910A-76-NL for jacketing “hybrid” insulation in Category 5e and Category 6 shielded plenum cables; Fireguard 910A-79-NL for jacketing of RG6 coaxial cable; and Fireguard 910A-80 UVF-NL for jacket-ing of indoor/outdoor fiber optic distribution cables. “In NFPA 262 flame tests, these new compounds generate lower levels of smoke and flame spread than any generi-cally similar compound in the marketplace,” said Mike Patel, Director of Marketing and Business Development for the Vinyl Division of Teknor Apex. “They require no special equipment to process and can be extruded at the same high rates as standard Fire-guard compounds.” Teknor Apex Company, a privately held firm founded in 1924, is one of the world’s leading custom compounders of plastics. Teknor Apex produces flexible and rigid vinyl, thermoplastic elastomers, nylons, color masterbatches, specialty chemicals and hoses. The company is headquartered in Pawtucket, RI, U.S.A. and operates thirteen facilities worldwide in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, China and Singapore. The Vinyl Division of Teknor Apex Company is a lead-ing manufacturer of compounds based on PVC, including Apex® flexible and rigid vinyl,

T & T lab technicians also perform research and development work to meet specific customer needs. In addition to having a presence on the exhibit floor, T & T will also be taking part in a technical presentation. At this year’s conference, T & T’s Technical Director, Paul Lorigan, will be presenting a paper titled “Quantification of the Flexibility of Flame Retardant Insulation and Jacket Materials When Designing Wire & Cable Products.” When selecting wire and cable insulation and jacket materials for flexible constructions, design engineers typically seek softer materials. The softness or hard-ness is most often quantified by Durometer Testing in the Shore A scale. Although there is good correlation between hardness and flexibility with unfilled non-flame retard-ant materials, there is less correlation as flame retardant fillers are added to flexible polymers. Certain jacket materials can be

Page 45: 2015 IWCS Suppliers Exhibition Directory

indistinguishable in hardness but drastically different in their actual flexibility. Lorigan’s paper reviews the ASTM procedure for hardness testing and proposes the use of various flexural moduli as a better method to quantify flexibility. T & T invites attendees to stop by the company booth to meet with representatives and learn more about T & T and the products it supplies.
