video and data applications in marine and offshore environments.

Quick change jaws reduce set-up time and can perform numerous manufacturing functionswhileimprovingtheproductquality and increasing productivity. Hand-held and bench models are available to splice wire rope and cable, crimp electrical parts, swage mechanical fasteners or clamp and hold assemblies.

With the required low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) construction, the Gepco brand ABS cables are available in a wide variety of cable types to cover applications such as data or power control, microphone or line level balanced audio, general purpose audio, speaker, communications, digital audio, high definition and standard definition serial digital video, high resolution analog video, broadband and baseband analog video, networking, wireless systems, VSAT, CCTV, security cameras and general distribution. Joe Zajac, sales and applications engineer for Gepco brand products, commented: “While designed for marine environments, Gepco brand ABS shipboard cables are manufactured with the same precision and offer the same performance and features as traditional Gepco brand cables such as TactiCel™ strong cell technology for coax cables and easy-strip foil shields for audio cables.”

Glass-sealed, fiber optic feed thru

Ametek SCP, a specialist in underwater cable and connector solutions for military and commercial applications, has developed the technology to produce a glass-sealed fiber optic feed thru (FOFT) for extreme high pressure, high temperature applications.

Pneumatic crimping

Fabco-Air's newly released 300 series power crimping tools are said to offer high force crimping with reliable precision, powered by force-multiplying air cylinders.

Ametek developed the FOFT to meet the harsh environments encountered during
