Quali2Twist for UTP data cable

Delegates at Gauder m m ’ s recent Quali2Twist demo

The line is designed to give the same quality and consistency of cable as common single twist machines, but with speeds closer to a double twist. However, unlike a standard double twist process, there is no cable geometry modification after the assembling point. Impedance is very stable and NEXT level is extremely low at 250 Mhz. The entire line was sold during the event and will soon be producing up to Cat 6e UTP/FTP cables. REMSAC expands its coverage RichardsApex, Inc has announced the expansion of duties for its current representative, REMSAC, to include Brazil and Argentina. REMSAC currently covers Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia for RichardsApex from its home office and warehouse in Lima Peru. REMSAC has full representation of the whole RichardsApex product line and has been in partnership with RichardsApex for 11 years. With this move, RichardsApex will strengthen its current positioning within the South American market.
