By its very nature, research and development
is a task that is never complete. Today’s
accomplishments must yield to
tomorrow’s expectations. Technical research
leading to advancements in materials and
manufacturing methods has marked the
success of our R&D experts.
Mission:
To innovate in the field of material science to
build progressive wire and cable products
that are of intrinsic value to customers’
future needs.
To use unique materials and process to
differentiate products, services and processes.
Engineering Services Application Specific Cable Designs
Cable USA is a leader in custom engineered cable, coaxial and coil
cord manufacturing. If standard, off-the-shelf cable doesn’t fit your
application, we can design and manufacture a cable or cord to your exact
specifications. We specialize in composite constructions…a variety of
components under a single jacket.
Engineering Services Jacketing Techniques to Accommodate Assembly
For Injection Molded Assembly:
1.) Pressure Extruded
- Smooth & Round
- Compound fills interstices of outer core
- Interstice fill creates wall thickness fluctuations
- Less Compression under molding pressure
- Reduction of blowouts
For Mechanical Assembly:
1.) Semi-Pressure Extruded
- Round with minimal convolutions
- More uniform wall thickness
- Preferred for mechanical rollback
- Workmanship spec usually allows lubricant
2.) Tube Extruded
- Jacket mimics shape of cable core
- Consistent wall thickness
- Preferred for mechanical pushback
- Workmanship spec usually prohibits lubricant
