Special Cables

In addition to manufacturing new cable designs to exact client specifications with low minimum order quantities and short lead times, we can also improve and modify many existing cable types to provide cost effective solutions. This is particularly useful where relatively low volumes are required. These modifications include:

Sheath colour change

Sheath colours can be changed by oversheathing or dyeing. This is possible to PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) sheaths only. This is ideal for specific identification purposes or to match existing colour schemes.

Over-sheathing

Many standard indoor cables can be oversheathed with materials such as PE (Polyethylene) and PUR (Polyurethane) to allow the cable to be used outdoors, in ducts and in certain harsh environments such as extremes of temperature and exposure to sunlight.

Re-sheathing

Should additional sheathing be required on armoured or braided cables, we can remove the existing sheath prior to re-sheathing to allow the cable diameter to be maintained.

Braiding, armouring and electrical screening

Mechanical protection to existing cables can be provided by adding either Flexible GSWB (Galvanised Steel Wire Braid) or more SWA (Steel Wire Armour). Both options can be oversheathed in PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PE (Polyethylene) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen).

Protection from electrical interference can be provided by the addition of a metallic screen. This is typically TCWB (Tinned Copper Wire Braid) or AL-PET (Aluminium / Polyester Foil) with further options available. Again this can then be over-sheathed as required dependant on the installation.

Composite cables

Existing cables can be laid up and used to form a single cable. This can include cables of different conductor sizes or a combination of data, control and power cables. Having been laid up together we can provide various screening and oversheathing options to meet your particular application.

Customise your own cable
