CableLAN’s adds QA program

New Program Benefits Customers

CableLAN Nuclear has introduced our new NQA-1 and 10CFR50, Appendix B Quality Assurance program. We believe we are the only distributor with this program, and it allows us to increase availability of cables to the nuclear market. The program expands our sourcing solutions and increases the range of cables and associated products we supply.

Temperature Effects on Optical Fiber and Cable

Optical fiber and cables are usually rated for operation at temperatures of up to 80C. In a nuclear plant, temperature transients can be much higher, Transient changes in attenuation during rapid heating and cooling remained below 1.2 dB/km in all cases. Singlemode fibers showed less thermal excursion sensitivity than multimode fibers, and bend insensitive fibers showed almost no change in attenuation during thermal excursions.

Thermoset vs. Thermoplastic Cables

CableLAN has introduced low smoke zero halogen Cat 5e and 6 cables with thermoset insulation and jacketing materials. These products are in addition to the existing line of similar thermoplastic cables we have been supplying to nuclear power plants for many years.
