So it is hardly surprising that Washington DC’s Metrorail was temporarily shut down for an emergency inspection following a tunnel fire in March. An average of 700,000 trips a day are made on the system, which celebrated its 40th birthday on 27th March. A total of 600 jumper cables were inspected throughout the system, with repair crews replacing the aged cables with newer copper cables with better insulation. The full story can be found on page 11 in this issue of wiredInUSA. Another milestone has also been marked with cable assembly manufacturer Cicoil celebrating 60 years in the business. Established in 1956 as a provider of multi-conductor cables to the mainframe computer industry, the company was the originator of the flexible flat or ribbon cable. Read more about the history on page 13. WireCo World Group is selling its wire rope manufacturing plant in St Joseph to Hillyard Industries, for development of a new manufacturing and national distribution center. Sadly, this comes with the news that 49 employees will lose their jobs, although the company is providing transition help. Turn to page 15 for the full story.

Work is underway on the new substation project The project includes building a 230kV steel pole construction transmission line, along 16 miles of existing right-of-way, to connect JCP&L substations in Howell and Neptune. In addition, an existing 230kV transmission line connecting substations in Colts Neck and Neptune will be rebuilt using steel poles to replace the current wooden structures. The overall cost of the project is $124 million, with around $97 million to be spent in 2016. “This transmission project will make our system in Monmouth county more resilient and help meet the growing demand for electricity in the region,” said Jim Fakult, president of JCP&L. “Along with the greater redundancies provided by the new transmission line, the high-tech substation devices we plan to install will give us the ability to operate the system remotely, automatically resetting the equipment instead of having to send a line crew to investigate the cause of the problem.” The new transmission line is expected to be completed and in-service by June 2017. wiredInUSA - April 2016 9 10 wiredInUSA - April 2016 INDEX Putting safety first Following a tunnel fire on 16th March, Washington DC’s Metrorail was temporarily shut down for an emergency inspection of the entire system’s third-rail power cables. An average 700,000 trips per day are made on the Metro system, and closure displaced hundreds of thousands of commuters with little advance notice. “While the risk to the public is very low, I cannot rule out a potential life safety issue here, and that is why we must take this action immediately,” said Metro general manager Paul J Wiedefeld in a WMATA press release. “When I say safety is our highest priority, I mean it. That sometimes means making tough, unpopular decisions, and this is one of those times. I fully recognize the hardship this will cause.” WMATA inspected approximately 600 jumper cables throughout the system. According to the Washington Post, repair crews replaced the aged cables with newer copper cables with better insulation. According to WMATA, 22 inspection crews set out to accomplish the work, and the authority had four repair crews on standby to address any issues that the inspection crews discovered. The Metrorail system was 40 years old on 27th March, but has faced controversy and scrutiny in recent years over budget shortfalls and insufficient funding, leading to a declining ability to maintain the system. Consequently, it has fallen into disrepair, which many officials have cited as the cause of public safety concerns. wiredInUSA wiredInUSA - April - April 2016 2016 11 11 Join WAI at the Sun for the best wire networking setting under the sun.

Established in 1956 as a provider of multi-conductor cables to the mainframe computer industry, the company was the originator of the flexible flat or ribbon cable. The silicone rubber flat ribbon cable allowed companies such as IBM, Sperry/ Univac and NCR to replace bulky, stiff round cables with sleek, flexible ribbon cables. In the 1960s Cicoil’s ribbon cables were part of America’s space program, including the first Earth orbit, first space walk in 1965, and the lunar landing in 1969. The cables have since performed on every US fighter jet, most commercial 60 years of high flying airplanes, and many demanding missile and land-based applications. To meet the needs of an increasingly diverse customer base, in 1998 Cicoil developed a new extrusion process that allows it to manufacture continuous lengths of flat cable from a crystal clear material named Flexx-Sil™. Howard Lind, Cicoil president and CEO, commented: “Cicoil’s proud history includes many innovations, including inventing the ribbon cable, and helping to put a man on the moon. Our spirit of exploration and innovation continues today, with new technologies like EZ-Flexx flat cables, and patented cables that include power, data, liquids and pneumatics, all in a compact package.” wiredInUSA - April 2016 13 Quick delivery Dynawave Express is an accelerated delivery program for Dynawave’s standard length DynaTest™ cable assemblies (24, 36, and 48”) and custom length, low loss DynaFlex® cable assemblies.

Both Gerdau Long Steel North America and Commercial Metals Co independently announced increases on rebar products. Gerdau’s increase, raising transaction prices by $30/st, took effect 21st March, while CMC’s price increase of $20/st took effect on 1st April. Buyers said they had already anticipated higher prices for April following scrap’s increase in March and early indications it could increase again in April. One southeast fabricator commented that, while higher raw material costs could provide some upward mobility for rebar prices, it remains to be seen if demand will be high enough to achieve the full $20 or $30 increase. “Everybody would like for prices to go up, but you want to see demand drive that, rather than iron ore and scrap,” he said. “Demand is key, and that has been so sporadic that an increase may not stick.” One midwest distributor said he would be surprised if anything over $20 would take effect in the current market conditions. Rebar demand should increase as the US heads into construction season, but demand in February and March was less robust, according to a mill source. In addition, although Turkish import offers for rebar have increased, the domestic market still remains under pressure, he said. wiredInUSA - April 2016 21 21 Single-moded design OFS, a designer, manufacturer and supplier of fiber optic products, has launched its new TrueLase 10/130 active and passive LMA double-clad optical fibers.

The work alleviates concerns that offshore wind and tidal power production will disrupt marine habitats. By tracking the movements of fish and crabs around underwater power cables, the new studies reveal that marine animals do not avoid the magnetic fields around the cables. One study found that the thick cables can serve as artificial habitats and host undersea communities, while another showed crabs freely crossing power cables to reach baited traps. In another study, scientists monitored the marine life around three parts of the seafloor over three years. One area had a powered cable; another, an unpowered cable; and the third area had no cables at all. The areas attracted similar kinds and numbers of anemones and other sea life, and twice as many fish and four times as many invertebrates favored the cabled areas over the uncabled section. Genevra Harker-Klimes, a marine scientist at the Pacific Northwest national laboratory, commented that it was very positive news for the offshore energy industry. “There’s much less of a concern now,” said Ann Bull, a marine biologist at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in California, who presented two of the studies at the American Geophysical Union’s ocean sciences meeting. 26 wiredInUSA - April 2016 INDEX New allies Allied Wire & Cable has added Eric Schmidtke and Julie Preiss to its team of sales representatives. Both Schmidtke and Preiss are current employees who have held other roles within the company. Allied believes in promoting from within because the employees are already familiar with the products and the Allied way of doing business, and they bring a solid foundation from their previous roles. Julie, who works out of the Tampa branch, began her career with AWC in April 2015 as a sales assistant. Prior to joining the company she worked in telecommunications sales for several years. Julie is eager to use her previous sales experience, as well as her work at Allied as an assistant, to work closely with the customer base. Eric started his wire and cable career in 2000, becoming Allied’s Wisconsin warehouse manager in 2008. Since then, he has moved around within the company and is currently one of Wisconsin’s branch managers. Bringing several years of experience in a wide range of areas to the forefront, Eric says: “I love the emphasis that we put on customer service here and am looking forward to being a more direct part of that equation.” Allied is confident that both Eric and Julie will use their previous AWC expertise to benefit customers, and provide excellent service. wiredInUSA - April 2016 27 27 EUROPE NEWS 26 28 28 20 28 wiredInUSA wiredInUSA - August 2014 - April 2016 INDEX Image: marine.orange.com Cable landing The South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE 5) submarine cable has landed at La Seyne-sur-Mer, in the south of France.

HyalRoute Group said that the contract will move its on-going project of AsiaAfrica-Europe-1 (AAE-1) submarine cable Cambodia branch to the next stage of construction. Kan Channmeta, secretary of state of the Cambodian ministry of posts and telecommunications, said the contract is in the form of BOOT (build-own-operatetransfer) with a period of 25 years before the company transfers the submarine cables and landing station to the government. “This project will contribute to increasing the percentage of Internet users in Cambodia from the current 45 percent, or 6.5 million people, to about 80 percent in 2020,” he ASIA / AFRICA NEWS Channmeta said the submarine cables will have 1.8Tb per second capacity. The AAE-1 submarine cable, is expected to be the largest (25,000km) and newest cable to link major Asian, African, middle eastern and European nations via the lowest latency subsea route for over 15 years, a statement said. “Thus it is expected to significantly bridge the digital divide between Cambodia and developed areas in the world.” wiredInUSA - April 2016 35 Shared power project Power and water plant Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has awarded a joint contract to Mitsubishi Corporation (MC), J-Power Systems Corporation (JPS), and LTL Projects (LTL) of Sri Lanka, for the installation of underground transmission and distribution cables in the Greater Colombo region of Sri Lanka. MC and JPS will supply the transmission cables, with LTL responsible for ancillary equipment and installation. Samsung C&T has awarded a contract to Nexans to supply 575km of power cables for the Umm Al Houl water and power project in Qatar. The facility will increase power generation in Qatar to 11GW (an increase of 23 percent) when it begins operation in June 2018. Electricity demand in Sri Lanka is expected to see an annual increase of around 7 percent in line with the country’s 7 percent per annum GDP growth rate. The Greater Colombo area, the island’s financial center and capital region, is in a particularly critical situation where an already insufficient power supply is combined with a high rate of electricity loss during transmission due to the aged infrastructure. The Umm Al Houl integrated power and desalination plant will have a capacity of 2.5GW and will produce 136.5 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD) of potable water, enough to supply 2.5 million homes in the region. Nexans QICC (Qatar International Cables Company) will supply medium and low voltage cables. The plant, located 20km south of Doha, will be the largest integrated power and water plant ever constructed in Qatar. The project is scheduled for completion in May 2018. 36 wiredInUSA - April 2016 INDEX Jonathan Kriegel Chinese wire expansion Island infrastructure Japan’s Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Corporation has established a new company in China to expand the capabilities of its operations in the country. Docomo Pacific Inc, a whollyowned subsidiary of NTT Docomo Inc and NEC Corporation, has signed the contract to build ATISA, a submarine cable system connecting Guam with the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). A press release said that a new company, Nippon Steel and Sumikin Cold Heading Wire (Suzhou) Co Ltd (NSCh), has been formed to expand the capacity and processing system of Nippon Steel Bar and CH Wire (Suzhou) Co Ltd, a production and sales company for cold heading wire in China. Construction of the new plant began in July 2014, and operations have begun. The new plant supports the work of Nippon Steel Bar and CH Wire (Suzhou) Co Ltd, which was established in 2006 and began operations in 2007. Supported by the growth of automobile production in China, it is now in full operation at a stable pace exceeding 1,000 tons per month. The release said that the new company will help respond to growing demand for cold heading wire in China, and will further enhance competitiveness in terms of quality, cost and delivery. ASIA / AFRICA NEWS ATISA, a six-fiber pair optical fiber submarine cable system of around 280km, will connect the islands of Guam, Saipan, Rota and Tinian on its completion in early 2017. Jonathan Kriegel, president and CEO of Docomo Pacific, commented: “Today marks the beginning of a new era in communications connectivity between Guam and the CNMI. Project ATISA was born out of the collective desire of elected leaders, business owners and, most especially, our customers, to bring transformative change to our islands’ infrastructure.” “Once completed, ATISA will have a significant and measurable impact on the ways the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam interact and communicate with the rest of the world,” added Mr Naoki Yoshida, general manager, submarine network division, NEC Corporation. wiredInUSA - April 2016 37 Maldives project underway Cables aid in cyclone recovery Ooredoo Maldives has begun its offshore marine survey in preparation for its nationwide fiber optic submarine cable project. Dominion Cables, Fiji’s only manufacturer of electrical energy cables, has made a $50,000 donation to the prime minister’s relief and rehabilitation fund for victims of tropical cyclone Winston. Working with Huawei Marine Networks, the 100G transmission network will extend to 1,200km. Ooredoo plans to significantly boost Internet services in the Maldives and provide high speed fiber internet connectivity to all the islands across the nation. The marine surveys are being carried out by the exploration survey vessel MV Duke, which features a specialist survey laboratory for onboard data processing and interpretation. The survey will collect the data required for Huawei Marine to design a submarine cable system customized for the Maldives’ marine environment. CEO Vikram Sinha added that Ooredoo’s priority in the Maldives has always been the establishment of a modern network to provide the best telecommunication and Internet services to its islands and resorts. The operation to lay the submarine network across the archipelago should be underway by mid-2016. 38 A statement released by the government stated that while attorney general and minister of finance Mr Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum thanked Dominion Cables for its timely assistance, he also urged local businesses to donate to devastated Fijian communities. The attorney general added that some retailers had unethically increased the prices of goods following the cyclone, and that they have been referred to the commerce commission for investigation. “At a time of such urgent need, it is shameful that some businesses are exploiting people facing dire circumstances. Instead of acting greedily, I urge all businesses to lower your margins to increase volume, boost our economy, and give people the goods and services they need at affordable prices,” he said. wiredInUSA - April 2016 INDEX Cable strengthens New Zealand’s links Late March saw the start of work on the Tasman Global Access (TGA) undersea cable, expected to be ready for service by the end of 2016. Telecommunications companies Spark, Vodafone and Telstra are investing approximately $70 million to build the TGA cable, beginning at Raglan, to significantly improve New Zealand’s international broadband connectivity. Other benefits will include strengthened links into Asian markets, improved redundancy and resilience, and better connection with the five main international cable systems that currently serve Australia. Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks (ASN) will lay the first cable between Ngarunui Beach at Raglan and Narrabeen Beach in Australia. Three-strand continuous billet caster from Primetals Technologies at the Bolzano plant site of Italian steel producer Acciaierie Valbruna Spa Plant upgrade Primetals Technologies has received an order from Italian steel producer Acciaierie Valbruna to modernize the three-strand continuous billet caster at its Bolzano site. On completion the plant will produce larger stainless steel and special alloy bars with cross-sections up to 180mm. The machine radius of the plant will also be increased from 7m to 9m, in preparation for even larger cross-sections after further modernization at a later date. Acciaierie Valbruna produces over 170,000 tonnes of special steels every year. The Bolzano production site specializes in stainless steel and special alloy rods with round and hexagonal cross-sections. Spark’s general manager wholesale and international, Lindsay Cowley, and Vodafone’s wholesale director, Steve Rieger, commented on behalf of the consortium: “The work in Raglan marks an exciting and important milestone on the journey to having the TGA cable ready to start carrying data across the Tasman towards the end of 2016.” ASIA / AFRICA NEWS wiredInUSA - April 2016 39 wire 2016 The

The range is designed to improve safety and passive fire protection in the oil industry and also allows cost savings in the engineering and construction processes. Steve Ellis, interconnect product manager at Pasternack, said: “Our new and improved Cable Creator now provides the purchasing simplicity and convenience our customers have come to expect when placing their online orders.” In the event of a fire in a petrochemical facility, the electrical systems which supply the critical areas (water pumps, control rooms, processing equipment, ventilation, sprinklers, alarms) must remain in operation, as they are vital for the safety of the complex. Genfire HCF cables, with DNV-GL certification, are manufactured with the most resistant materials, exceeding the strictest international standards on fire-resistant cables. They are therefore suitable to improve the safety of oil companies, as they remain in operation even under extreme fire conditions, as defined in the new revision of NEK TS 606:2016. For when the going gets tough Reeling in - and out General Cable has announced a solution for the new demands of the new standard, NEK TS 606:2016. The 2016 revision makes greater demands in relation to materials and resistance to oils, in addition to incorporating flexible conductors as an option, and dictates the resistance of cables under extreme fire conditions with the presence of hydrocarbons. As a result, General Cable has expanded its Genfire HCF range, incorporating low voltage, instrumentation and medium voltage cables.
