German installation companies are using Daetwyler (www.daetwyler-cables.com) cables and professional services in ongoing new building and cabling expansion projects at Frankfurt Airport, one of the largest hubs in Europe.

Terminal 2 has been equipped with an application-neutral cabling solution of copper and fiber, including Unilan Category 6A and OM3 fiber-opticcables with singlemode and multimode fibers. High-speed data networkingcables from Daetwyler have been installed in the connecting corridor between departure lounges C and D, in the cargo area for the A310 aircraft, in the airport hotel, and most recently inseveral parking garages. Applications include office communications; connections for counter, display, and card-reading devices; access control; and traffic management.

Cabling solutions from Daetwyler are being used throughout upgrades and new construction at Germany’s Frankfurt Airport. One of the company’s biggest tasks was recabling the A310 aircraft maintenance hangar.

In addition, the company is providing training and consulting services to installers on-site.
