high voltage cables to offer the entire cross-section set to automotive customers.

Alpha Wire will be in Munich in November for Electronica 2014, the world’s largest electronic trade fair. The company will be showcasing the tough new Pro-Tekt line of cables, and its growing EcoGen line of wire and cable. Alpha Wire will be featuring the newest addition to the EcoGen family, EcoCable Mini. This 300V cable is AlphaWire’s smallest and lightest cable, said to be up to 32 percent smaller and 44 percent lighter than standard 300V PVC cable. “EcoCable Mini is the smallest solution to our customers’ biggest cable problems. The size and weight savings are great for the newest designs coming out in all markets,” stated Emmanuel Deboval, director of sales EMEA at Alpha Wire. “We are sure the audience at Electronica will be impressed by the size and weight of this cable and will be able to take samples home with them.” EcoCable Mini features recyclable mPPE jacketing and insulation with superior dielectric properties, a -40°C to +80°C temperature range, five shielding options, and is available in over 250 standard multi-conductor and multi-pair constructions from 28 to 20 AWG. Custom and composite configurations are also available.

Habia Cable has launched new remote electrical tilt (RET) cables for mobile station antennas. RET, or variable downtilt, antennas enable mobile phone network operators to optimize a network by adjusting the beam of an antenna to meet changing conditions such as variations in the density of traffic during the day. Typically the movement of the antenna array is controlled using an RS485 signal carried over a multicore cable together with electrical power to drive a motor. The demands on the cable are high, as they need to withstand the typically harsh environmental conditions at the top of a mast.

The entire product group is also available unshielded. first manufacturers to offer the entire cross-section set from 1.5mm 2 up to 150mm 2 . Where thicker cables had previously to be used if the appropriate intermediate cross-sectionwas unavailable, a suitable cross-section is now said to exist for every application, offering important space, weight and cost savings to car makers. Radox cables have an electron beam cross-linked insulation, resistant to weathering, ozone,moistureandchemicals. The cables are designed for high and low temperatures and feature excellent abrasion resistance. Huber+Suhner is among the
