Wednesday, September 20, 2023

HFCL Limited (HFCL), a leading technology enterprise and integrated next-gen communications product and solution provider, today announced the launch of its revolutionary Intermittently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) Cables in the United Kingdom (UK).

Key Points: 
  • HFCL Limited (HFCL), a leading technology enterprise and integrated next-gen communications product and solution provider, today announced the launch of its revolutionary Intermittently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) Cables in the United Kingdom (UK).
  • The basis of the new cables is individual Intermittently Bonded Ribbons, each made up of 12 optical fibres, which are bonded together at specific intervals along their lengths.
  • Groups of IBRs can, therefore, be bundled together into cables that provide twice the fibre packing density of traditional cables in the same volume.
  • IBR cables enable installation of higher fibre counts in small diameter ducts, especially useful in congested areas with very limited space.

MIAMI, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the heart of America's rapid transition toward renewable energy lie two unassuming heroes: High Power Converters and Inverters – and one U.S.-based expert in the field, AmePower, has been a driving force behind this technology. These critical components, often collectively referred to as Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs), power a wide array of applications from solar and wind farms to battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicle (EV) chargers, and support critical infrastructure.

Key Points: 
  • These critical components, often collectively referred to as Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs), power a wide array of applications from solar and wind farms to battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicle (EV) chargers, and support critical infrastructure.
  • This process is pivotal for integrating renewable energy sources into the grid, managing stored energy, and even driving our electric vehicles.
  • Inverters are integral to harnessing solar and wind energy, charging our increasing fleet of EVs, and driving propulsion inverters for trains.
  • They are vital players in the American narrative, intertwined with the nation's environmental, economic, health and national security goals.
