Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On February 16, 1996, Kuhlman Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Kuhlman"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Kuhlman
Acquisition Corp., a North Carolina corporation (the "Company"),
completed its tender offer for any and all outstanding shares of
common stock of Communication Cable, Inc., a North Carolina
corporation ("CCI") not previously owned by the Company or
Kuhlman.  Pursuant to the Company's Offer to Purchase dated
November 29, 1995, as supplemented (the "Offer to Purchase"), and
the related Letter of Transmittal, the Company offered to
purchase any and all outstanding shares of CCI common stock, par
value $1.00 per share (the "Shares"), at $14.00 per Share, net to
the seller in cash, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal
(the "Offer").  Pursuant to the Offer, shareholders of CCI
tendered 2,291,800 Shares prior to the expiration of the Offer at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 15, 1996.  All Shares
tendered were accepted for payment on February 16, 1996, and the
Company, through its depositary, began payment for all tendered
Shares beginning on the next banking day. 

At the Special Meeting of Shareholders of CCI duly called and
held on February 16, 1996, the shareholders of CCI voted to grant
voting rights to any and all of CCI's Shares acquired at any time
by or for the Company, directly or indirectly, in a "control
share acquisition" within the meaning of The North Carolina
Control Share Acquisition Act, including any and all Shares
acquired by the Company pursuant to the Offer.

Following the acceptance of the tendered Shares, the Company
increased its equity position in CCI to 2,607,503 Shares,
representing 82.2% of all Shares outstanding at February 15,
1996, 82.0% assuming the exercise of all outstanding options.

Pursuant to the Offer, the Company purchased the tendered Shares
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32,085,000 in
cash (the "Purchase Price").  The Purchase Price for the tendered
Shares was funded by capital contributions from Kuhlman to the
Company, which represent funds obtained by Kuhlman pursuant to
bank borrowings.  Kuhlman amended and increased the aggregate
funds available under its existing bank credit agreement to
provide up to an additional $40 million substantially to finance
the acquisition of CCI.

CCI engineers, designs and manufactures electronic wire and cable
products which are marketed to original equipment manufacturers
and, through distributors, to a variety of end users.  CCI
manufactures coaxial, multi-conductor and "category" cables which
are used for data, voice and video communications by the computer
and data processing industries, medical and industrial
electronics users, the U.S. Government and U.S. Government
agencies, and for satellite and other telecommunication
applications.

Kuhlman intends to operate CCI in a manner consistent with its
other operations in order to maximize growth in sales, earnings
and shareholder value.
