by the fiber optic cable and connectors used. The product housings are molded from impact-resistant, chemical-resistant UV stabilized polycarbonate and are UL94-HB flame retardant. The MR398-JB series complements Micronor’s range of harsh environment fiber optic encoders and industrial grade PUR-jacketed optical cabling. Standard models include LC duplex to LC-duplex, and ODVA LC to ODVA LC; special configurations can be engineered for interfacing other connector and cabling types. Smaller, more durable reeling cable TPC Wire & Cable Corp has introduced a new addition to its Trex-Onics ® series of cables. The new Trex-Onics extra-heavy duty reeling cable was designed with a smaller diameter and lighter weight to reduce wear and tear on reels, connectors and the cable itself. In addition to providing excellent abrasion resistance, the heavy duty TPE dual-layer jacket contains a reinforcing aramid braid between the layers. This braid provides greater than 1,800lb of tensile load capability, which practically eliminates cork-screwing under tension and the premature cable failure common to standard multi-conductor cables. The cable offers UV resistance and flexibility to -50°C. The Trex-Onics reduced diameter, extra-heavy duty reeling cable can be used in any application where a cable is pulled in tension, either hanging or retracting from a reel, such as cranes

and hoists, power tracks or cable carriers, industrial elevators and festoon systems. “This new reeling cable was designed to provide exceptional performance while dramatically reducing the overall cable weight,” said Todd Hadbavny, product manager at TPC.
