  • Infrastructure project replaces overhead lines with modern networks

    Infrastructure project replaces overhead lines with modern networks

    The Aargau municipalities of Bellikon, Remetschwil and parts of Oberrohrdorf are no longer supplied via wooden pole lines from the valley, but via a new cable line. According to a statement, AEW Energie AG has completed and commissioned a central infrastructure project on the Rohrdorferberg with this cable. As a result, 1.6 kilometres of existing wooden pole lines have been dismantled – “a contribution to a more robust, low-maintenance network and an improvement to the landscape,” according to the Aargau energy supplier.

    The Rohrdorferberg line between Künten and Fislisbach has a total length of 11.2 kilometres. A total of eight transformer stations were connected to the new line. According to the information provided, this will particularly benefit businesses “with increased requirements for security of supply”.

    AEW invested a total of CHF 3 million in the project. “By consistently expanding and cabling our grid infrastructure, we are not only increasing security of supply for the population, but also creating the conditions for a flexible and sustainable energy system,” says Christoph Fischer, who heads the Networks division at AEW.

  • R&M launches new splice closure

    R&M launches new splice closure

    R&M has expanded its range with a high-density type of SYNO splice sleeve. The new SYNO S-500 splice closure has twice the splicing capacity of the standard types, writes the globally active specialist for data and communication networks from the Zurich Oberland in a statement. The splice closure, which is designed for the expansion of hybrid fibre optic infrastructures, can be used to cable single fibres and ribbon fibres simultaneously.

    The SYNO S-500 is equipped with eight entries for standard round cables, ribbon cables and microproducts. “Single fibre splices, ribbon fibre splices and splitters can be placed next to each other on the splice carriers,” R&M explains. Due to the resealable gel seal of the sleeve, the cabling can be retrofitted or changed at any time.

    According to the manufacturer, the SYNO S-500 can be used for overhead and underground cabling, and especially in regions where the infrastructures for fibre optic lines to the house are to be expanded quickly and prepared for future applications. As an additional service, R&M offers “customer-specific pre-assembly”.
