Van Damme are pleased to announce that the improved Tourlight II fibre cable range has been approved by Neutrik for use in its OpticalCON assemblies. Additionally, London based Van Damme Distributor VDC Trading Ltd. has seen its Neutrik OpticalCON certification upgraded to the highest level – Class A COCA (Certified OpticalCON Assembler). VDC offers Van Damme Tourlight II OM3 50/125 and OS1 9/125 Superior Fibre Solutions terminated with Neutrik connectors at optimal turnaround times, delivering a high speed, fibre optic solution to its clients.

Paul Marchesi (pictured), VDC Trading Technical Manager and a qualified Class A Coca Assembler, said:

“We’re delighted to have achieved the Neutrik COCA accreditation for the successful Van Damme Tourlight II Range which further strengthens our offering to clients. We have been providing fast turnaround, high quality copper cabling solutions for many years and are now able to ensure clients have access to a high quality, robust fibre cable solution with an equally fast turnaround to meet growing demand.”

London-based Autograph Sales & Installations, one of Europe’s leading theatre sound installation companies, is one of the first clients to take advantage of the new Neutrik certification.

Technical Sales Manager Chris Austin said:

“We’ve used Van Damme’s Tourlight fibre, terminated with Neutrik OpticalCON connectors for us by VDC, for a number of recent projects including the York Theatre Royal and The Barbican Centre. The very quick turnaround that VDC delivered was a real benefit to us and helped us hit project deadlines, while still meeting the quality standards our clients expect.”
