COOL CONVERTED PRODUCT
MARLBOROUGH, MA | A new custom shielding tape solution for networking and data communications cable manufacturers is now available from Web Industries Inc. The product, called Shielded CrossWeb Tape, protects twisted pairs of wire from internal and external crosstalk interference, which can impair data transmission. The tape helps manufacturers meet current and anticipated interference standards and improves cable-manufacturing efficiency by reducing the number of required operations.
Shielded CrossWeb Tape incorporates two shielding components, each consisting of a lamination of polyester tape and aluminum foil. The components are joined securely across the middle, allowing the tape's ends to open and form a plus sign or "X" configuration.

FEATURED INSTALLATION
Nova Films & Foils, Bedford, OH, has installed Vetaphone single and double-sided corona treating units on a 65-in. wide coater/laminator that is capable of running 600 ft/min. "We chose Vetaphone because it was highly specified at a competitive price. It also looked better-designed and engineered, and we are convinced we made the right choice," said Bruce Allaben (right) with Rick Huskey. The units drew praise for their small footprint and the ease with which they were integrated into the new coating line. "The design of the electrode cartridges allows easy access for cleaning and maintenance, and any after sales support we've needed has been prompt and efficient," added Allaben.
According to Huskey, the consistent dyne levels achieved by the corona treaters across a range of substrates has allowed the company to develop new products and be more responsive to its customers' demands.
