We are often asked to assist with projects. Our expert design team can talk you through your exact requirements to suit any application.

We have developed one-off cables as well as new, mass produced cables. We can easily incorporate clients branding and colourway in to our development. Making our cables the perfect fit for final application.
See a few of the projects we’ve been involved with here:
Our Cable Made It To The Olympics!
A TV filming company wishing to film the swimming in the Beijing Olympics, needed a new design of cable. This new design would need to take the strain of being dragged through water at speed, have the ability to be wound through a small set of pulleys and be able to hold a constant signal. The present cable they used didn’t last long imagine if they lost signal during live shows.
We introduced a new copper alloy newly introduced to the cable industry. Working with a supplier we developed a highly flexible and strong signal capable of sending HD quality signal, whilst travelling through water at speed. The cable was also able to be re-reeled many times and never failed throughout the games.
Help For Hospitals
Our customer supplies hospitals. They were using off the shelf, bog-standard telecom coils in their equipment. These were failing after 1-2 weeks. We designed a new coiled cable that lasts a LOT longer. We even added e-coli and MRSA protection too. These cables became so good the only reason for replacing them was due to food soiling and system upgrades. Although the product cost slightly more per coil, the down time saving was hugely significant. We’ve sold more than 50,000 of these coils in the last 2 years!
Automotive Cable
Our customer in the automotive industry, was using PU coiled cables with PVC inners. They were failing after a few stretches, costing vast amounts of time and money.
Our expert design team came up with an easy solution. They decided to produce the cable using a specialised cable grade polypropylene. The new material has similar properties to TPU meaning it retains shape even when heated. No more failures for our valued client!
