  • Drilling holes in stainless steel cable trays and burning drill bits

    Drilling holes in stainless steel cable trays and burning drill bits

    Drilling stainless steel needs to be done with sharp bits, low RPM, higher cutting pressure (feed), and lots of lube/coolant. High RPM will lead to immediate burned-out drill bits. Get the wrong bits, go too fast or forget the coolant, and you'll find yourself fighting work hardening, broken bits or ruined holes. This article. Drilling through stainless steel isn't a job for just any tool. It's a tough, heat-resistant material that punishes cheap bits and poor technique. Selecting the correct drill bit is the most important factor for successfully machining stainless steel.

  • Method for testing the tensile strength of optical fiber cable steel wires

    Method for testing the tensile strength of optical fiber cable steel wires

    IEC 60794-1-311:2024 describes test procedures to be used in establishing uniform requirements of optical fibre cable elements for the mechanical property – tensile strength and elongation at break. Physical stress is the enemy: Glass fibers transmit data brilliantly but snap easily under pressure. Structural components like aramid yarns do the heavy lifting to keep.


  • Can fiber optic cables be routed at right angles

    Can fiber optic cables be routed at right angles

    This is true to a degree, a fibre optic cable can't be manipulated like a copper cable and where possible should be laid in a straight line. It is measured from the inside of the bend, not the outer curve. Fiber optic cables transmit data through light propagation within a glass core. It's the age–old question of fiber optic cable—is it capable of bending around a corner? We asked Principal Fiber Optic Product Engineer Henry Rice whether Proterial Cable America (PCA) Fiber Optic Cable could move around a corner, and he says it can! What is the Difference Between OS Fiber and OM. (1) the cable is being pulled out of the conduit up out of the manhole at an extreme angle, exceeding the cable bend radius where it exits the conduit. (2) the pulley on the truck used to turn the cable toward the capstan pulling it is 5-6 times too small for the cable - the red dotted circle shows. We terminate fiber optic cable two ways - with connectors that can mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear or with splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers.

  • How to mark lines when drilling holes for cable trays

    How to mark lines when drilling holes for cable trays

    Snap Lines: Use a chalk line or laser level to mark the path on the ceiling or wall. Mark Support Points: Mark the spots where supports will be installed. Standard intervals are usually every 1. Measuring and marking: Accurate measurement and marking techniques for cable trays. Calculate horizontal, vertical, or compound cable tray offsets based on bend angle, offset distance, and available installation. Watch how a professional fabricator perfectly marks, measures, and cuts a cable tray using a hand grinder with complete accuracy. I have used a marker with a speed square on projects, but that is a rough method.
