Cold Storage Cable

2010-04-01T00:51:00.001-07:00

Working with a UK Based Consultant, Custom Designed Cables Ltd for the past few months have been manufacturing a number of alternative cables required for operation within a large Cold Storage unit.

The cable is required to operate at a constant -30 degrees c temperature whilst remaining flexible and maintaining full electrical integrity.

The use of Silicone Cores and Hybrid Oversheathing Materials has proven to show improvements in the Longevity of the cable and the next phase of the trials is to improve the cables's mechanical strength by using various cable braid configurations.

Masterbatch Colour Matching

2010-04-01T00:32:00.000-07:00

Custom Designed Cables Ltd recently won a contract to provide a custom cable replacement within a two week time frame.

The original cable used small diameter wires and coaxial cables that had to be sourced but more importantly, the extruded cable oversheath had to be a match for a specific Ral Shade.

Working with our Masterbatch supplier, we were able to efficiently have the colour matched and a suitable masterbatch was supplied.

This enabled CDC Ltd to meet the tight delivery time frame with the correct colour match.
