Tin with Copper Clad Aluminum and Magaluma Wire (TCCAM) - 0 views

  •  
    Product Description Copper Clad Aluminum and Magaluma Wire (TCCAM) The inner conductor of Tinned CCAM is copper clad aluminum and magnesium alloy wire. This type shielding material is processed by tinning on CCAM surface. The electric & mechanical performance is between copper wire and CCAM. It synthesizes copper's electric conduction nature and light weight and good shielding of the CCAM Advantage Compared with tinned copper wire, the length of tinned CCAM is 2.5 times than that of tinned copper wire when their diameters and weight are equal. There is light merit, and saving the cost advantage. Comparing with CCAM. There is solder nature same as copper wire, not like CCAM has to do special treatment. Application Signal cable shield wire, CATV coaxial cable shield wire, other kinds of shielding wire.

How Safe is Aluminum wire? - 0 views

  •  
    How Safe is Aluminum wire?... Aluminum wire is still approved by the N.E.C. But this on the assumption that everything will be done perfect. Having said that i would like to give a little advice on using aluminum wire when you are building a new home. For the sake of saving a few dollars, it is not worth the safety hazard you face when using this wire. This is not only my opinion but the opinion of many others in the trade. Many times i have been called to repair corroded connections using this wire. Most of the time the aluminum wire had to be replaced with copper. One other piece of advice, before you consider buying a home with aluminum wire you might want to check with the insurance company. Some of them may refuse to insure a house with aluminum wire.

Aluminum wiring poses risks to home and sale - Los Angeles Times - 0 views

  • Would you recommend that I upgrade the wire ends? If I do nothing, do you think the aluminum wiring may be a deal breaker?
  • Aluminum wiring has been the cause of numerous house fires. This is because the wire connections at outlets, lights, switches and breakers can become loose, and these slack fittings are prone to overheating. The recommended upgrade for aluminum wire connections is to add copper wire ends, commonly known as pigtails, and to secure these to the aluminum wires with connectors that are specifically designed for this purpose.

DPG's unique fiber optic technology (might) replaces copper wire in military aircraft a... - 0 views

  •  
    "DPG's Optical Harness™ technology is a direct replacement for the wiring harnesses used on today's aircraft, and does not require replacing the aircraft's existing systems," says Dr. John Husaim, CEO of Defense Photonics Group. "By using fiber optic technology, DPG can reduce copper wire harness weight by more than 50 percent. In addition, the technology incorporates multiple signals and formats on a single optical fiber using a single laser diode. Fiber optic systems provide immunity to electromagnetic and radio interference, making aircraft less susceptible to potentially catastrophic lightning strikes or dangerous electromagnetic pulses (EMP)."

New technology allows copper wire to handle 825Mbps data speeds - 0 views

  • Thanks to some new technological breakthroughs, however, copper wire may be making a comeback. Current download speeds offered to end users range from 2Mbps-50Mbps, but we are all looking towards 100Mbps as the next milestone. While you may think fiber optic would be required for that, Nokia Siemens Networks has managed to employ phantom circuits to boost data-carrying capacity over copper wire to as much as 825Mbps over short distances of around 400 meters. While the tech that achieved such high speeds may be a few years away, Ikanos has unveiled its NodeScale Vectoring technology allowing a minimum of 100Mbps data speeds over the same wires. It works by eliminating crosstalk on existing cabling allowing for much higher performance.

Wireless Power: The Next Wave In Powering Electronic Devices - Engineer Live, For Engin... - 0 views

  •  
    Wireless power is emerging as a popular concept since the profusion of personal and portable electronic devices has created a need for a convenient means to power these gadgets, eliminating the inconvenience and mess of several chargers and wires. Industries too echo this sentiment, as wires represent a burden in terms of cost and maintenance. Scientists are considering several technologies for such applications. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Wireless Power Supplies and Contactless Energy Transfer, finds that induction based wireless power could represent the next wave in powering portable electronics. It could also enable new applications in other sectors such as healthcare for powering implants to increase patient convenience and quality of life.

Copper thefts dangerous, costly - 0 views

  •  
    Last fall, AEP began installing copper-clad wiring at its facilities in hopes of reducing the instances of copper thefts. The wiring looks and functions the same as copper, but is difficult to cut because of its steel core and has no scrap value, Michalski said.

History Of Aluminium Wire - Marketing material - 0 views

  • In order to preserve future generations, the European aluminium industry is actively looking for solutions to manufacture aluminium wire and products with the environment in mind. Their focus is on sustainability, longevity and the preservation of our planet. You can play an active role by recycling where possible and making sure only the highest grade of aluminium is used for production by demanding quality when you buy.

Will Intel and USB make fiber optics mainstream? - 0 views

  •  
    "At some point the industry is going to have to transition," Jeff Ravencraft, the USB-IF's president and chairman, said in an interview, because copper wires such as those in the current USB 2 and new USB 3 standards have limits on how fast they can transmit signals. "I think the next transition is going to be to optics."

Wireless charging standard a great boost, but is it good or bad for overall power consu... - 0 views

  • This means, right from the start, we need to consider imposing strict efficiency standards on these technologies to make sure efficiency isn’t abandoned for the sake of convenience. I hope Energy Star is on this case. That said, it’s quite possible that wireless charging will elminate a considerable amount of electronics waste, because we won’t have a lot of wired chargers being sent to the dump. That’s assuming, of course, that manufacturers stop selling wired chargers with the device and require it as a separate purchase.

COPPER-CLAD ALUMINIUM - 0 views

  • Over the last year in many markets there has been increasing interest in copper-clad aluminium (CCA) wires as a possible way of reducing material costs in certain types of cable. Several Chinese companies have perceived a potential market opportunity and installed equipment for production of CCA wire. CCA consists of copper cladding surrounding an aluminium core. The most common grade of CCA is 10% CCA, meaning that it contains 10% copper by volume: only 5% of the radial thickness of this grade of CCA is copper and the rest is aluminium, though it contains approximately 43% copper by weight, since copper is a much denser metal than aluminium. 10% CCA has an overall conductivity of 65% IACS, i.e. 65% of the conductivity of an all copper conductor of the same cross-section, but its average density is only 37% of copper.

Apple rumored to launch new Macbook Pros - With Cu wires not fibre optic - 0 views

  • Intel originally proposed Light Peak as a fiber-optic connection to replace all of the cables that connect something to a computer. But initially, the usage for Light Peak looks more limited, and it will initially use copper wires instead of fiber-optic connections. The speed is faster than universal serial bus (USB) 3.0, carrying data at 10 gigabits a second in both directions at the same time. Sony is also expected to use Light Peak.

Inherently fault current limiting ( IFCL ) superconductor cable - 0 views

  •  
    The technology is capable of carrying 10 times as much power as copper wires of the same size, while also being able to automatically adapt to power surges and disruptions from lightning strikes, heat waves, and traffic accidents, even sabotage. A single superconductor cable can replace 12 copper cable bundles, freeing up more space underground for other utility needs like water, natural gas, or phone service.
