Precision redefined
Leading R&D company involved in building a nuclear fusion facility required a range of specialist cables to be developed which needed to operate in an ultra-high vacuum and a high radiation environment.
The problem
Leading R&D company involved in building a nuclear fusion facility required a range of specialist cables to be developed which needed to operate in an ultra-high vacuum and a high radiation environment.
Part of the brief was to consolidate numerous single wires and cables into a range of multicore cables. Stringent criteria relating to outgassing and colour identification were stipulated. A rapid turnaround for designs and prototypes was required.
The solution
A number of separate designs were created with different cable constructions using a range of halogen free dyes and radiation resistant materials. The halogen free dyes were required for individual cable identification purposes as in excess of 32 cores were required in certain multicore cables.
Samples were submitted and the relationship with the customer has continued to develop into ongoing long term strategic business.
