INDEX Digital . Networking . Monthly . wiredIn USA March 2012 issue - No 9 www.wiredinUSA.com READ WATCH SHARE IT wiredIn Up and running in California USA p9 p9 INDEX #09 EDITOR There’s always a great ‘community’ feeling to the wire and cable industry. Whether if it’s at an exhibition, on the golf course, at the hotel bar or, in this case, just a friendly company going a little extra for those less fortunate. I’m referring to Allied Wire and Cable on p11 of this issue. Each year this company chooses one week in December to be ‘charity week’ during which a percentage of all sales are donated to charity. That doesn’t have to be done. It’s a choice that Allied make each year. They include all staff who nominate their own charities and the customers even have a say, voting online to decide which organization is to receive the largest donation. The sixth annual week from 19th-23rd December last year raised a superb $15,818.78, with CureSearch for Children’s Cancer group getting the largest donation. Autism Speaks, nominated by Wisconsin employee Rebecca Mertens, also had a share of the spoils with Allied donating $1,000 towards Mertens taking part in the Walk Now for Autism Speaks event in Milwaukee on 28th April. It’s refreshing that we take just a little time now and then and do something good for others. Allied can be justifiably proud.

Mitsubishi’s aggregate equity commitment will total €240 million. EUROPE 20 NEWS wiredInUSA - March 2012 The two grid connections connect a number of offshore wind farms to the onshore electricity grid and have a combined total capacity of 1,200MW. The equity contribution of Mitsubishi represents 20 percent of the expected combined capital expenditures of approximately €1.2 billion for these two projects. TenneT will retain majority ownership and will continue to operate the connections. The underlying regulatory structure has been developed by TenneT in cooperation with the German regulator, Bundesnetzagentur. The transaction is EUROPE NEWS still subject to certain conditions, which are expected to be met before the Summer, and has been approved by TenneT’s sole shareholder, the Dutch State. Mel Kroon, TenneT CEO, regards the agreement as an essential step for the successful integration of renewable energy: “TenneT is making exceptional efforts in the connection of offshore wind energy in Germany. Currently we are working on nine projects to connect wind farms in the German North Sea. “These projects total to 5,000 megawatt of renewable electricity, enough energy to supply 5 million households. This long-term partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation is both a logical and important step in our considerable contribution to the transition to a sustainable energy supply.” wiredInUSA - March 2012 21 INDEX Prysmian’s record cable deal Morgan Sindall wins cabling contract Siemens to modernize bar mills in Colombia EASA orders rivet switch The Prysmian Group’s contract for the development of Western HVDC Link, a new submarine high voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnector between Scotland and England, is believed to be the highest value ever awarded in the cable business at approximately €800 million. The project represents a milestone not only for its value but also in terms of technological features, setting new industry records. The interconnection, designed as a low loss high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system, will operate at the record voltage level of 600kV, the highest ever reached by an insulated cable (to date the record is 500kV) with a rating of 2200MW - both currently unmatched for long-haul systems. Morgan Sindall has won a £14m project to design, supply, install and commission 13 kilometers of 132kV double circuit cable through Nottingham, UK. Siemens VAI Metals Technologies has received an order from Diaco, the Colombian branch of the Brazilian Gerdau Company, to modernize two bar mills at its Tuta and Tocancipá locations. The modernized rolling mills are scheduled to be in operation by the end of 2012, and will produce rebars in a range of diameters. European safety regulators have ordered the replacement of rivets in the nose of Airbus A380s after an engineering review found non-compliant components. The aluminum rivets are located at the junction of frame zero and fuselage stringer 21. The main purpose of the cable link is to connect renewable generation sources in Scotland to the consumption centers in England, although it also allows bi-directional flow of power. The choice of a submarine cable link versus a land interconnection offers benefits in terms of project approval and execution time. 22 The project is being undertaken for Western Power Distribution and will help to reinforce the supply to two existing major substations, Nottingham East and Nottingham North, as well as providing a new supply from the 132kV substation at Stoke Bardolph. Morgan Sindall’s design business, Morgan Sindall Professional Services, has been appointed to carry out the electrical and civils design on the project. Jeff Lang, managing director of Utility Services at Morgan Sindall, said: “We are looking forward to commencing this project which is a key part of Western Power Distribution’s capital renewal program. Our specialist extra high voltage teams and equipment ensures that we are best placed to undertake the complex nature of this work.” Work will start on site this March and is due for completion in December 2013. The project is part of a three-year fluid-filled cable replacement program framework to which Morgan Sindall was appointed in October 2010. wiredInUSA - March 2012 Siemens will supply mechanical equipment and the fluid system for Diaco’s bar mill in Tuta, Boyacá Province. The roughing mill will be equipped with a new billet feeder and a new pinch roll. The remainder of the rolling line will be completely renovated, and equipped with eleven Red-Ring rolling stands. Three new stand motors will also be supplied. In the Tocancipá works in Cundinamarca Province, the rolling mill will be equipped with new main drive for the rougher and mechanical equipment such as gears, drive spindles, loop formers and shears. In the cooling section, Siemens will install a new cooling bed and shears for the hot and cold cutting, including the associated electrical equipment and basic automation, and mechatronics packages for shearing and optimized cutting. EUROPE NEWS Fatigue analysis showed that while structure limit load capability “is still ensured”, the junction “may not support ultimate load”. In a proposed airworthiness directive the European Aviation Safety Agency said that the rivets are “not in compliance with the certification requirements”. Rapid decompression could lead to in-flight loss of the radome and “adversely affect the structural integrity” of the aircraft, it added. EASA is intending to order that the aluminum rivets be replaced by titanium fasteners within eight months, on all aircraft which have not already undergone modification in production. The directive remains open to consultation until mid-March. wiredInUSA - March 2012 23 INDEX Y R E N I H C A M - S E I R T S T S C U U D D O R N P 24 & I wiredInUSA - March 2012 Drying water-cooled cables ACI’s new ‘Line-Dry’ system is designed to remove residual moisture film from water-cooled insulated cable during production, whilst achieving significant savings in energy costs compared to traditional compressed air systems.

Ultra high-density fiber-optic cables Optical Cable Corp (OCC) took the opportunity of the BICSI 2012 Winter Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, Florida, to unveil its HC series of ultra high-density fiber-optic cables. The new cables feature tight-buffered 12-fiber units, creating rugged cables with an outer diameter that OCC claims is much smaller than conventional cables using loosetube construction. By combining the ruggedness of OCC’s tight-buffer technology with high-fiber density, the HC series cables are said to offer up to 20 percent reduction in diameter and weight, relative to conventional loose-tube cables. Suitable for direct pulling with wire mesh grips, the cables can help reduce costs by eliminating the need to splice outdoor cable to indoor cable at the building entrance. The HC series cables are currently available in fiber counts of 24 fibers to 288 fibers. “The HC-Series cable couples the density of a ribbon style fiber-optic cable with the ruggedness typically associated with OCC’s fiber optic cables,” said Ted Leonard, vice president of technology and engineering for OCC. Cutting copper and steel The CCS-6 cable cutter from Platinum Tools “is designed to cut copper cable with steel content without nicking, degrading or deforming the cutting blades,” explained Platinum’s John Phillips. “Fully tested to 10,000 cuts on RG6 CCS, copper-clad steel center conductor with no degradation to the cutting blades, this compact cutter also easily cuts through copper and aluminum cable.” The tool works on solid copper wire, twistedpair and coaxial cables, the company says, adding that its blade geometry ensures the cable remains round during the cut. It is made from SCM 440 steel, weighs less than 8 ounces and is 6.3″ in length. Vinyl compounds with bio-based plasticizers New BioVinyl™ flexible vinyl compounds from Teknor Apex incorporate phthalatefree Dow Ecolibrium™ bio-based plasticizers, manufactured using plant by-products by Dow Electrical and Telecommunications (Dow E&T), a unit of The Dow Chemical Company.

The bell-type annealing furnace from Rad-Con wiredInUSA - March 2012 major wire and cable manufacturers around the globe and is quickly being adopted as the package of choice for products such as fiber optics, building wire, plastic tubing and more. The company has very specific expertise in the area of spheroidise annealing and cold heading quality wire production for the fastener and bearing industries. Rad-Con’s 100% Hydrogen Super-High Convection™ (H2SHC™) bell-type annealing furnaces (BAF) offer the highest convection flow to reduce temperature variations in a minimum amount of cycle times. Rad-Con’s AC/APEx™ system minimizes cycle time and reduces utility costs while producing decarb/soot-free wire. Stand 9F0601 Paramount Die has been able to reduce die costs by standardizing on cost effective carbide inserts and by increasing quality and capacity through automation. The company is working to take the human factor out of the manufacturing process. Many of the highly automated machines now run on “Lights Out Operation” meaning that they will continue to produce products as long as there is raw material being fed into the system. This not only improves production output, but also improves the quality (eliminating the human aspect). Headquartered in the USA since its founding 44 years ago, Rad-Con operates on a global basis, helping industries increase BAF capacities of high quality annealed wire and wire rod. Known as the preferred packaging method for LAN and coaxial cables for more than 30 years, Reelex packaging is a patented method of winding flexible products into a figure-eight coil featuring tangle and twist-free payout. This packaging method has become the standard for One of the of the newest, most economical and environmentally friendly packaging options available to cable manufacturers, ProFlex packages will cost under $0.50 per package for most products while replacing bulky spool, reel and box packaging waste with a simple recyclable PE-LD bag. With ProFlex, instead of trying to awkwardly carry spools, end-users can now carry multiple packages in one hand - leaving the other hand to open doors, carry tools, or dispense the product. wiredInUSA - March 2012 55 INDEX And because the Reelex coil does not rotate, no additional equipment is necessary for payout – meaning installers can simply place ProFlex on the ground, hang on a hook or hold by hand and dispense the product without twists or tangles. With this new package, Reelex opens the door to a much wider range of products, from low-cost THHN and hook-up wire, to preterminated fiber optic cables. Combining the best aspects of both Reelex “I” (small tube) and Reelex II® (big tube) packaging, EcoCore will debut as a more environmentally friendly and economical packaging option, as it reduces the amount of plastic in the Reelex package by up to 80 per cent while reducing costs. EcoCore also offers large-diameter tube payout performance suitable for highperformance twisted-pair cable and fiber optics without an increase in package size or cost from Reelex “I” packages. EcoCore is intended to consolidate both small and large-tube pull-box packages into a single one-tube-for-all-products packaging system. This new package combines enhanced payout performance, an improved environmental profile, great versatility and unique package features at a lower cost than existing pull-box packaging.

On one day in mid-February, as much as 1,397MW was lost to forced outages and this was responsible for a 30 percent load shedding at the peak hours. Of the 1,397MW of capacity under repair, 458MW are under the private sector, including the 330MW, gas-based PPN power project, which has been closed a month due to a leak in the heat recovery steam generator system. Another 44MW was lost due to a problem in the Kaiga atomic power plant in Karnataka, due to “a problem in the turbine-generator system”. ASIA / AFRICA NEWS Of the plants run by the state utility, one of the units of the North Chennai Thermal Power Station, of 210MW capacity, is not likely to be put back in operation before 10th March. The problem has been stated as ‘stator coil failure’. Similarly, another 210MW unit, of the Tuticorin Thermal Power Station, is out of operation and will take a month to be up and running. Three units of the problematic Ennore Thermal Power Station, of a total capacity of 110MW each, are in a state of disrepair – one of them for over 230 days. Poor maintenance of the plants is responsible for their frequent outage, said an official of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. wiredInUSA - March 2012 63 INDEX Transfer station for Kirkuk Ducab HV in collaboration Air-blown composite cable Floating wind farm off Fukushima The spokesman of the Ministry of Electricity, Musab Al-Mudaras, has confirmed the completion of a 132kV electricity transfer station east of Kirkuk, indicating that the total cost of implementation of the project amounted to 22 billion dinars. AMEinfo reports that in a move to accelerate the introduction of high voltage technology to the UAE, Ducab HV has signed a collaboration agreement with J-Power Systems Corporation (JPS), an equally-owned joint venture of Sumitomo Electric Industries and Hitachi Cable, covering all areas of high voltage cable technology. Ducab HV is a joint venture between Ducab (50 percent), DEWA (25 percent) and ADWEA (25 percent) to manufacture high voltage cable systems. LS Cable & System has introduced a new 12/20kV air-blown fiber optic composite power cable that combines both electric power and communication cables, necessary for building smart grids and communication networks. Immediately after the announcement the company entered into a supply contract with Energy Australia worth $10 million. Marubeni aims to build a wind farm off the coast of the Fukushima prefecture. The project will be supported by the Japanese government through the reconstruction budget from last year’s tsunami. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nippon Steel Corp and Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding are also involved. It marks Marubeni’s first stake in an offshore project. Al-Mudaras added that the station consists of three main transformers and six lines, plus the external network. It is expected that the station will help to avoid bottlenecks in electricity supply, and increase the reliability of the network, especially after the linked station, Kirkuk, which has a capacity of 400kV. The Ministry of Electricity announced in February that the current electricity crisis will improve over the next two years, while confirming a significant improvement next summer. The Ministry has already completed the final linkage line between the Iraqi and Syrian national electricity systems, in preparation for the import of energy. Hitachi Cable and Sumitomo Electric have been involved with high voltage cable technology since the 1960s and currently supply projects up to 500kV across the world, including significant projects in Japan and the Middle East. JPS was formed from their their high voltage power cable divisions in 2001. Ducab HV’s collaboration, which came after a detailed evaluation of all the qualified international cable companies, extends up to the 400kV range, which is the highest voltage in use in the UAE. Technology transfer is a key part of the agreement and will take place through a combination of Ducab HV engineering teams visiting Japan, as well as experienced JPS engineers stationed in the UAE to train Ducab HV staff. The knowledge and technology transfer will cover all aspects of HV cable manufacture. 64 wiredInUSA - March 2012 Unlike conventional fiber optic composite cables, this product is installed using high-pressure air. With this new installation method a 3–5mm diameter tube is installed inside the cable and the fiber optics are pushed inside by the high-pressure air. Existing fiber optic composite cables can combine a maximum of 16 core wires, but this new method makes it possible to bind up to 144 optical cable core wires. A key feature of the air-blown fiber optic composite power cable is that it is scalable, meeting the needs of customers who want to build-out power grids and communication networks as demand arises. Also, unlike conventional fiber optic composite cables, the dual structure of a plastic tube and sheath protects the cable, greatly reducing the risk of damage. Another advantage is that the optical cable can be used to monitor the temperature and state of the cables in real time. ASIA / AFRICA NEWS In September 2011, Japan’s trade ministry said it planned a $130 to $260 million project to develop a floating turbine in the deep waters off the northern coast. Japan hopes to develop a 1GW floating offshore project off its northern coast by 2020. The announcement follows the passing of a renewable energy bill in the upper house of Japan’s parliament. There is sound reasoning behind Japan’s push for offshore wind. When the tsunami struck, the Kamisu near-shore wind farm, located 40 meters off Ibaraki prefecture, withstood the magnitude-nine earthquake and contributed vital electricity in the aftermath of the disaster. wiredInUSA - March 2012 65 www.iwma.org Dragon Exhibitor Package The IWMA is offering members a superb package deal for this year’s wire China on 25th-28th September at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
