Introducing the newest member of our team


After graduating from Durham University with a BSc in Pure & Applied Mathematics and Physics, (not sure how I did that, its all a bit of a blur now due to the hectic social life readily available in the North East) I then spent over  15 years  within the IT and Telecommunications industry, both in the UK and on a global level.

Previously I have worked at ITS Technologies as Group Sales Director, i3 International (Part of the i3 Group) as European Commercial Director, breaking i3 into Europe.  I have also worked for several large FTSI 250 companies including Steria and Getronics and more recently, I worked for a German Unified Communications Software Vendor as the Corporate Development Director, bringing new technologies to the UK and creating markets for international organisations wishing to break into the UK.
Having lived for  many years abroad, both for businesws and pleasure, I have gained a deep understanding of International market drivers and trends, and new technologies which are likely to break into the UK.

I live on the rural borders of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk and enjoy country life, which covers a multitude of sins. I love Sunday morning coffee listening to the birds singing and the owls hooting and taking photographs of all kinds of wildlife ( not sure if that makes me an early riser or late to bed these days)
When not enjoying the East Anglian wilderness, I compete in motorsports events, predominantly Drifting events UK wide (that’s why people don’t let me drive them around on the roads).  I have started a collection of BMWs ranging from 1973 to 1990 and I am hoping to add more to my collection. I also love  cricket, I have been to many international cricket games (with my cooler box) and I am hoping to catch some of the Indian Premier League Games in 2013 when I visit there.
It’s not all adrenaline though, I do enjoy UK and foreign travel, languages and international culture, and retro 60s and 70s rock music. I enjoy Tango dancing and to wind down, I’m not adverse to 70s disco dancing complete with platform boots and big hair!

Outdoor FTTX / FTTH optical fibre street cabinet solutions for external optical fibre cable application.

MCL Data Solutions ranges  of fibre street cabinets can accommodate passive and active equipment and can be configured for pure fibre or a combination of copper-fibre and for spliced, cross-connect and splitter applications to serve customer-specific needs.

The outdoor roadside cabinets are either metal or plastic enclosures, which serve as distribution/access points between the distribution fibre and the drop fibre to the subscriber. These are usually located to allow for relatively easy and rapid access to the fibre circuits and are capable of handling larger capacities than fibre joint closures.

Our range of street cabinets are ideal to store PON splitters, which also require flexible connectivity to subscriber-dedicated fibres. Street cabinets are also used in point-to-point network architectures.

An important factor in the roll-out of new networks is speed. We can in house pre-stubbed and terminated the cabinets. The street cabinets can be combined with plug-and-play PON splitters, which can be installed as and when required without the need for further field splicing. These cabinets are assembled in the factory and tested prior to delivery.

For lower on your “must have” Optical Fibre and Structured Cabling equipment please cut and paste your existing quote into our online enquiry form and we will reply within hours or call us on 01702 443810.

Improve your CCTV - Use optic fibre cable instead of copper cables for better picture quality and no signal interference.


Optic fibre cable used in CCTV transmission has been slower to take hold than its use in other telecommunications and data markets. Traditionally copper cable was used because of the need to keep CCTV component costs down, but with the increased use of CCTV systems, especially in town centres, in the 1990s, a new way of transmitting images across large areas without image degradation was needed. 

 

Fibre optic cable CCTV has many benefits over copper cabling

Fibre optics cable in CCTV means that you can connect hundreds of cameras, recording equipment and a central monitoring station across vast areas, while maintaining near-perfect image quality.
Because fibre optic cables emit light pulses rather than electrical pulses they are not subject to interference from railway lines, tramways, power stations and other sites that traditionally have interrupted or distorted the transmission of CCTV data.

By installing fibre optic CCTV cables instead of copper cables, you are also future-proofing your CCTV system, as the ability to add more cameras and more equipment to the system is easier with the fibre optic transmission method with use of media converters.

We can also provide specialist cable solution like:

Hybrid cable (fiber optic, electrical)

Application
*control cable
*CCTV for example in tunnels, buildings, airports

Characteristics
*customized solutions
*physical and chemical characteristics according to specifications
*power and data transmission
*installation of one cable only
*small dimensions
*low weight
*multifunctional

Cores
*fiberoptic, coaxial, copper,

To find out more about fibre optic cable, media converters, and fibre patch panels for CCTV transmission - contact us.

J Schneider capacitor DC buffer module Power supply UPS

 Voltage drops are a common problem in industrial and commercial environments. They occur with greater frequency since power–distribution systems are becoming increasingly more complex. Voltage fluctuations have considerable consequences: Production processes are interrupted, machines stop working, systems have to be reconfigured. All this costs time and money. In the worst case scenario a system breakdown can cause data loss and failure of machines and systems.

The J Schneider DC-buffer module of the series C-TEC works with ultra capacitors as energy storage inside the housing. These capacitors are charged by an external regulated DC power supply in normal operation. In case of an interruption of the DC-supply, the energy of the Ultra capacitors is released. The load is now supplied by the buffer module till it is discharged. The back-up time depends on the state of charge of the capacitors and on the discharge current.

With C-TEC  offers a new product portfolio of buffer modules. They are equipped with integrated ultra capacitors instead of using lead batteries as conventional uninterruptible power systems (UPS) do. This makes them maintenance free. As C-TEC does not require changing batteries it provides an economic benefit.









C-TEC BENEFITS:
lifetime maintenance-free – low operating costs
cost -efficient – no extra costs respectively no change of batteries
system flexibility for your individual applications
long buffer time C-TEC Cap Ultra single module
longer buffer time with extension module
longer buffer time due to cascading
longer buffer time due to selective protection of the most critical consumers
safe, intelligent shut-down of industrial PCs
avoids data loss due to destruction
prevents damages to PLC/PC, machines and installation
