The products include Apex (R) vinyl riser compounds and vinyl-based Fireguard (R) low-flame, low-smoke plenum compounds. Also included among the new plenum jacketing compounds are two series for cables that have fluoropolymer (FEP) insulation, one formulated for 4-pair Category 6 applications and the other for 4-pair 10-gigabyte LAN cables and coaxial cables. The company’s outdoor riser compounds have the enhanced low-temperature properties and sunlight resistance required for Category 6 outdoor riser jacketing, while a new series of 10-gigabyte riser compounds provides the electrical and flame retardant properties needed in high-performance communications cable.

Tecna, manufacturer of resistance welding equipment and test instrumentation, will display its product line in co-operation with Lors Machinery Inc, Tecna’s exclusive representative in the USA. The Tecna stand will feature its successful range of linear action 3-phase middle frequency inverter and linear action 3-phase DC rectified resistance welders for cross-wire welding applications, together with a wide range of single phase AC press-type and rocker-arm spot welders.
