Longer lasting protection can help avoid unplanned service breakdowns and associated high costs for repairing or installing brand new replacement cables. TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS • Helps provide long term cable protection against rats and termites • Enables manufacturers and cable users to be compliant with EU Regulations • Easy to use, direct incorporation in the jacket, no need for additional layer to protect the cable • Helps avoid unplanned service breakdowns with associated high repair costs 1 CA-Sept15-Doc.6.2- Final 2 A masterbatch should be regarded as a biocidal product if it is has a biocidal function.

Good warehousing practices include keeping the container tightly closed when not in use, storing the plastisol at room temperature and away from heat sources or direct sunlight, and avoiding exposure to water. Large temperature shifts in the plastisol should be avoided, as they can lead to condensation and moisture build-up.

• Avoid over-engineering – The new connector must be designed to meet the targeted requirements accurately, without over engineering, thus avoiding the costs of higher-than-needed performance levels. • Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.

One thing to avoid in adding draft is a large variation in wall thickness. The boss should extend into the nominal wall of the part, to avoid a thick region and possible sink area. If a boss is to be attached to a primary wall, avoid thick regions.

Each officer must: • avoid potential, real, or perceived conflict of interest situations between personal and professional relationships.
