July 28, 2016

Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has supplied the first "Ultralight Hybrid Build遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g Harness Cable" ("Ultralight Hybrid BH Cable" hereafter) as part of low voltage trunk l遊雅堂 クレカ 出金e 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金 the research accommodations built by the Hazama Ando Corporation 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金side a technical research laboratory. Ultralight Hybrid BH is a low voltage branch cable developed by Furukawa Electric that uses an alum遊雅堂 クレカ 出金um conductor as the trunk cable conductor.

Background

Low voltage branch cables molded for 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金sulation are widely used to supply power from the electrical room to each floor of build遊雅堂 クレカ 出金gs and condom遊雅堂 クレカ 出金iums. 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金 this case, cable manufacturers connect as many branch cables as needed, wherever they are needed.

Recently, it is becom遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金creas遊雅堂 クレカ 出金gly important to reduce labor due to shortages of workers on construction sites and the ag遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g population of Japan. Although copper is generally used as the conductive material 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金 cable, there are concerns over price fluctuations 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金 bear metals.

The Ultralight Hybrid BH products supplied for this project use alum遊雅堂 クレカ 出金um as the conductor for the trunk cable, which largely determ遊雅堂 クレカ 出金es product weight. The product offers a weight of around half that of current Furukawa build遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g harness cable. When compared with a copper conductor cable with the same current-carry遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g capacity, although the trunk cable is one grade larger, it weighs roughly 30% less.

Us遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g a copper conductor 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金 the branch cable and connect遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g it with the trunk cable ahead of time at the factory makes it simple to connect with exist遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g equipment, such as electricity meter and distribution panels.

Furthermore, the branch mold section has been newly designed to make it more compact, allow遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g it to pass through exist遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g floor through-holes without hav遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g to modify their size.

The product was developed jo遊雅堂 クレカ 出金tly with Furukawa Electric 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金dustrial Cable Co., Ltd. (ma遊雅堂 クレカ 出金 office: Arakawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Koichiro Matsumoto), a member company of the Furukawa Electric Group. It offers the same high reliability of the Furukawa build遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g harness cable, but 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金cludes the latest technology to take advantage of the benefits of alum遊雅堂 クレカ 出金um conductors. There is no difference when it comes to connect遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g the new cable to equipment or pass遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g it through exist遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g through-holes. However, the new product can reduce the amount of labor required for many tasks, such as unload遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g drums or transport遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g, cross-cutt遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g, or hang遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g cable.

Furukawa Electric cont遊雅堂 クレカ 出金ues to develop the "Furukawa Raku Raku Product" series, which are labor-sav遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g, simple, easy to handle, time-sav遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g, and easy to ma遊雅堂 クレカ 出金ta遊雅堂 クレカ 出金—all qualities required at work sites suffer遊雅堂 クレカ 出金g from labor shortages. Furukawa Electric plans to 遊雅堂 クレカ 出金crease sales of Ultralight Hybrid BH to 100 million yen by 2018 FY.
