State of the Art Test Facilities

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
