Star Informatic launches climper tool for overhead power, 5G cables
NEW DELHI: Optical fiber splicing gear and test equipment maker
Star Informatic
on Thursday launched the 'Star Informatic Climper' solution to help organise and secure overhead cables without the need for ladders, or shutting down services.
The launch comes as metro cities, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and others, have seen a surge in the number of overhead cables for supplying electricity and delivering fifth-generation (
5G
) services, posing a hazard for the unaware pedestrians and citizens.
The Delhi-based vendor said the climper tool features a 20-foot extendable pole that allows a technician to stand safely on the ground and bundle cables quickly, adding that it can be used by telecom companies, civic bodies and local utilities.
'With one tool and one trained person, you can clean up an entire stretch of cables in a day. It doesn't require a big investment or complex systems — just regular use,' said Anurag Saxena, MD, Star Infomatic.
Saxena said the tool is made in India, and is suitable for local conditions including high temperatures and dense areas.
