About tde - trans data elektronik
tde - trans data elektronik GmbH is a manufacturer, system provider and distributor of network solutions based in Bippen/Ohrte (district of Osnabrück) with a sales office in Dortmund. The company manufactures modular cabling systems (tML, tSML, tBL), fiber optic patch and trunk cables, splice boxes and splice modules, as well as copper TP components, 100 percent at its German production site. In its own highly automated fiber optic cable assembly facility on two independent series production lines, up to 100,000 fiber optic connectors are terminated per month using laser cleavers, glue robots and state-of-the-art test technology; every application undergoes a 100 percent inspection process with interferometer, attenuation and visual inspection. An SAP production system with process monitoring and serial number tracking documents every production run without gaps. The solutions are used in data centers, telecommunications, industry, research and mobile communications, and by customers such as CERN, the University of Zurich and Niedersachsen Ports. In addition, tde offers network planning, implementation, acceptance and 24-hour service.
