Emtelle and Incab unite to launch
new optical cable manufacturer
E
mcab, a new optical cable
manufacturer in Germany, has
commenced operations to serve
the globe with an unrivalled range of fibre
cable solutions.
Located in the heart of Europe in Erfurt,
Germany, Emcab is a joint venture between
Emtelle and Incab. With specialties in the
manufacture of ducted, buried and blown
fibre cables, blown fibre microducts, plus
HDPE and PVC ducts between both industry
giants, Emtelle’s and Incab’s combined
knowledge and expertise will offer a
well-rounded high-quality fibre optic cable
offering to customers worldwide.
Comprising of an extensive cable range
that offers increased fibre counts of up
to 864 fibres and covers a wide range of
applications, including direct burial, the
entire range is fully compatible with
Emtelle FibreFlow duct and microduct
solutions. Emcab cables are manufactured
utilising the number one fibre in the
industry – Corning optical fibre – and
undergo regular tests at the specially
equipped test sites. Proven to achieve
superior blowing performance, Emcab’s
blowing track is built compliant to the
requirements of IEC 60794-1-21:2015
Standard. The Emcab offering guarantees
the use of the most advanced materials
available providing global customers with
premium and reliable cables.
Aleхander Smilgevich, CEO of Incab,
expanded more on the manufacturing
capabilities of Emcab and commented:
“Combining the technical experience and
capabilities of both Emtelle and Incab
made logical sense to build Emcab and
conquer the industry with such high-quality
optical cable solutions. Emcab’s primary
manufacturing plant is in Erfurt, Germany,
which further elevates the service we can
provide to the European market, but we will
also be manufacturing Emcab cables across
four worldwide locations – Erfurt, Hawick,
Scotland, Perm, Russia and Arlington, USA.
This ability allows us to widen our supply to
our customers across a larger geographical
area in an efficient manner.”
Speaking of this new joint venture,
Tony Rodgers, CEO of Emtelle added:
“Emtelle and Incab together is the perfect
harmony. Emcab joins Emtelle’s blown fibre
and microduct manufacturing experience
with the fibre optic cable capabilities of
Incab, to offer a truly best-in-class fibre
connectivity solution. We have rigorously
tested individual products to ensure that we
can go to the market with fully optimised
fibre and cable solutions with guaranteed
compatibility. The additional fibre capacity
this venture brings to Emtelle further
enhances the fibre in tube capability and
capacity, with guaranteed operability
between fibre and duct. This is the solution
our customers have been asking the market
for – cables and ducts that are matched and
straight off the drum, guaranteed.”
Sales and manufacturing will begin
immediately at Emcab, fronted by Managing
Director, Robert Deffa-Wilk, and supported
by a global sales and technical team. •
