CableLAN delivers large order to nuclear power plant

July 18, 2001 CableLAN Products Inc. (www.cablelan.com) has delivered a large order of fiber-optic cables to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Maryland).

"For this installation, CableLAN will be providing more than 5,000 feet of 48-fiber specialized fiber-optic cable for use in a new instrumentation and control system at the power plant," states Jan Pirrong, president of CableLAN. "Chromatic Technologies Inc. is the only fiber optic manufacturer to offer a line of ruggedized fiber-optic cables produced under the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Nuclear Quality Assurance guidelines," he adds.

"These cables are designed to meet certain requirements of the IEEE-383, the standard for cabling in nuclear facilities. More importantly, these cables are designed and built under the rigid quality assurance program, outlined in 10CFR50 Appendix B, dictated by government regulations, " notes Pirrong. "The renewed interest in nuclear power plant licensing extensions and fiber optic as a viable media is creating many upgrades and additions in existing facilities, as well as in new construction," he notes.
