ith over 88 per cent of electrical accidents occurring in the low


voltage range, there is now a hydraulic tool solution to help protect you. Historically the work of cable installers and linemen, whether crimping or cutting, has been accomplished by manual hydraulic tools or more lately battery hydraulic solutions. Whilst these innovations have made improvements to ergonomics and speed of operation, electrical insulation has not changed. The New Video just released from


Klauke explains how the benefits of the VDE ORANGE range of battery hydraulic tools can make every day of your job safer. It explains how the patented Tri-Barrier design lowers the risk, whilst working quickly in a safe manner. Statistic show us that ignorance of the


safety rules is the main reason for accidents so If you are working on power cables, have time constraints, are working in confined areas, and want to add a further layer of voltage protection to your toolbox, then Klauke Orange is for you.


Comprising of cable cutting tools up to


an overall diameter of 50mm, suitable for steel cored (overhead) or steel armoured (underground) cables, and crimping tools suitable for up to 300mm2 cable lugs, the new range has a solution for all electricians and contractors. The World’s first VDE certified battery


powered crimping and cutting tools are a ground-breaking step to maintaining safety in our industries. The patent pending Tri-Insulation barrier technology


provides users with a 1000V protection against electric shock, and every tool is over-tested by a factor of 10 (at 10,000V) to ensure the certified tools stand up to the toughest workplace environments. Powered by 18V Li-Ion battery


technology contractors can work confidently knowing there’s plenty of power in the tank. With a full charging time of just 22mins delivering approx. 300 operations there’s no stopping these tough tools. Li-Ion batteries prefer to be kept fully charged but can receive shorter top- up charges without any detrimental effects on the cells. Klauke ORANGE brings together the best


of both worlds for cable terminating – the 1000V Safety rating to ensure electrical protection, and the speed and efficiency of compact Klauke battery powered hydraulic tools, allowing you to work safely and quickly without excessive hand force. Safety is a choice we make – think safe


– act safe – choose Klauke ORANGE! Klauke


DOWNSIZING AND UPGRADING IN ONE: CABLES FOR ENERGY CHAINS


the outer diameter of the cable by 25%,” explains Justin Leonard, the-chain director, igus. “Although this reduces the data rate from 10MBit/s to 1GBit/s, it is fast enough for many sensor applications.” The new cable is designed to fit


perfectly with the T1 connector interface, which has been developed specially for SPE. As a result, the durable shielding is retained, resulting in high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The combination of cable and connector is extremely robust: igus uses an abrasion-resistant, notch- proof PUR jacket and the connector uses robust metal latches with PCB jack. The reduction in the size of cable and

very day, sensors generate vast amounts of data worldwide and this


continues to rise. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology offers completely new opportunities to transmit these data streams reliably even in the most confined areas of the machine. Developed for use in energy chains, igus introduces the chainflex CFBUS.PUR.042 SPE cable. While a few years ago CAT5 was the

standard and CAT5e was a quantum leap, CAT6a and CAT7 are increasingly in demand today. However, all developments so far have ended at the last ‘intelligent’ component of the machine; this is because the size of the cable and the connector were too big to implement connections to the smallest sensors. “The SPE cable uses only one pair of wires instead of the usual four, reducing


connector creates the oppoortunity to use the smallest e-chain series. The Single Pair Ethernet technology is also an alternative to standard field buses such as Profibus and CC-Link, as well as Ethernet derivatives such as Profinet and CC-Link IE. The oil resistant and flame-retardant SPE cable comes with a guaranteed service life of 10 million double strokes and 36 months.
