corrosion-resistant materials, the cable gripper weighs approximately 500kg and has a lifting capacity of 20 tons. It is available with hydraulic hotstab or torque bucket interface options. “Working in consultation with DNVGL, we’ve designed the CRT200 gripper to provide offshore contractors with a highly effective way of recovering umbilical and cable from any water depth. “By gripping the end of the cable it is easier to handle once on board the vessel,” explained Keith Elliot, engineering director at Allspeeds Ltd. Economy range TE Connectivity (TE) has added new cable assemblies to its Micro-MaTch product range. The new assemblies provide a cost- effective solution for general purpose applications where resistance to high temperatures, high levels of vibration, or to extended durability cycles are not required. The assemblies are suitable for use in environments where temperatures stay within the –30ºC to +80ºC range. TE’s Micro-MaTch value-line cable assemblies are available, from stock, with between 4 and 20 positions and in standard lengths of 7.5cm, 15cm and 20cm (2.95″, 5.91″, and 7.87″). The assemblies incorporate a keyed interface to prevent mismatching and ensure a long operating life. A range of receptacles in various configurations offers enhanced versatility, while the easy-connect system saves on

assembly times. The new assemblies feature connectors with a PBT housing and nickel- tin plated contacts. The cable has tinned copper conductors insulated with PVC.
