SAB now offers PB 640 AND PB 640 UL
“Flexible Fast Connect Profibus-DP Cable”

Profibus DP was designed for high speed data exchange at the field level. This is where central programmable controllers such as PLC’s PC’s or process control systems, communicate with distributed field devices such as I/O modules, drives, valves transducers or analysis devices over a fast serial connection in a factory environment. SAB now brings to market a “Flexible Fast Connect” PVC insulated cable in both a UL and non UL version. The “Fast Connect” technology improves assembly time in the field and eliminates connection errors. For a full spec sheet for PB 640 or PB 640 UL please visit our web site at www.sabcable.com or contact your SAB sales associate.

MESSAGE FROM SAB NORTH AMERICA’S MANAGING DIRECTOR

Do you have the right people working with you? At SAB North America we have the right people working on our team.

Recently my nephew asked me what he thought was a simple question. He wanted to know if I thought it was better to pay sales people more commission or base salary? His company feels that if the employee was paid a high base salary they would not be motivated to work. Right away this reminded me of something I had read regarding having the right people on your team. I responded to my nephew stating that as far as I was concerned it was more important to whom I am paying than how I am paying them. In my 20 plus years of managing employees it is clear to see that if the right person is employed they will work hard either way. In the end the issue of a compensation package is not to get the wrong person to work the right way but rather to get the right person to work with you in the first place.

SAB Success Story

We recently shipped a very large order to a customer in California with one of the country’s largest trucking companies. The truck got into a serious accident and the shipment was severely damaged. (The truck driver was ok with no serious injuries). The driver had swerved to avoid hitting a deer and crashed through a guard rail landing in a ditch on the side of the road. Approximately $80,000 worth of cables were damaged and needed to be replaced. SAB North America sprang into action by sending our field representative to meet the shipment at its final destination and to determine exactly which cables were damaged. Within 24 hours the cables that were in stock in New Jersey were shipped and the non stock items were produced in Germany then flown to the U.S. The customer received all of the replacement cables within 5 days no questions asked and no delay in the customer’s project. Once again this shows that even though problems can occur it is how each one of us responds that makes the difference.
