Tim Overfield, managing director of C-Kore commented: “With our C-Kore subsea testing tools we offer our customers a new option when it comes to testing their equipment subsea. They no longer have to work with down-lines, which are cumbersome to deploy and often give inaccurate readings. “We always hear from customers how pleased they are with our C-Kore units because they are so easy to use, saving them a lot of money in the end.” Material improvement Borealis and Borouge have launched the first azodicarbonamide-free(ADCA-free) material for use as a blowing agent in foamed communication cables.

With many installers expressing a wish to minimize on-site waste that comes from cardboard boxes, the system’s CableM8 bags offer an effective alternative. The shrink-wrap packaging can be packed into an empty bag for recycling, leaving up to 30 times less waste post-installation. Testing subsea spares C-Kore Systems has delivered two C-Kore units to Statoil. The C-Kore subsea testing tools are used on both fault-finding and construction campaigns to confirm the insulation resistance and continuity of spare electrical cables located on the seabed, and provide quick and accurate readings.

The ADCA-free grade HE4883 was developed in partnership with Brand-Rex Ltd, a developer of cabling solutions for network infrastructure and industrial applications, and is expected to be in demand for higher category communication cables.
