Specialist Suppliers Of Microduct & Pneumatic Connectors

The Gotthard Base Tunnel is the world’s longest and deepest rail tunnel. At over 57km in length and 2,300m below the Alpine peaks the tunnel contains thousands of kilometres of fibre optic microduct. Caladen microduct connectors were used as an important component in this safe, reliable and future proof communications system.

DB covers for microduct connectors are an important of our product range. They provide security and protection for our customer’s network installations. In response to an important project requirement a new 4mm and 5mm connector DB cover has been introduced to the existing range.

Caladen sponsored rider John McPhee takes pole position on the Moto3 Saxoprint Honda in the final Moto GP of the year in Valencia.
The 21 year old Scot from Oban will lead the field at the start of Sunday the 5th’s Grand Prix.

Caladen supported rider John Mcphee racing in the Moto3 World Championship put the Saxoprint Honda on pole position for the
Australian Grand Prix.

An absolutely fantastic performance from the 21 year old Scot. In Sundays race he was swopping the lead with five other riders when he crashed out uninjured on lap 7.

John said “Obviously I’m disappointed to finish the race this way, but I think we made a big step forward this weekend. We have been much stronger than the last races and we improved a lot. Everything is just coming together and is becoming one. It was my fault in the race. Till That point I was having a lot of fun and felt confident. Sorry to the team, Because The crash was my mistake. But we only have to wait one week till Malaysia and we will try again there.”

She's a quarter of a mile long, weighs 186,000 tonnes and is the biggest cargo ship on the seas – and will be carrying a Caladen container on her first visit to England. The CSCL Globe, the new holder of the contentious title of world's largest ship, set out on her maiden voyage from Shanghai on Monday and called at the port of Felixstowe earlier this month.

Owned by China Shipping Container Lines, the Globe measures 1,312ft from stem to stern – longer than four football pitches – and has a beam of 192ft – wider than each of the runways at Heathrow. But her crowning glory is the fact she can accommodate 19,100 standard 20ft shipping containers, known in the industry as "TEU", short for Twenty Foot Equivalent Units.

The Globe is the same length and slightly narrower than the world's previous record-holder, Maersk's Triple-E class of ships. What gives the Globe the edge is that she sits 53ft deep in the water. This means her TEU capacity is higher than the Triple-E's 18,270 TEU.
If all the 20ft containers that the Globe can carry were stacked end to end on top of each other, they would reach 382,000ft into the sky – more than 13 times the height of Mount Everest.

Each TEU the Globe carries can theoretically hold 500,000 pneumatic fittings, meaning the vessel could potentially carry 9550m of the connectors – enough for every person in Europe to have a bag of 10 in their stocking on Christmas morning!
