Industries Commonly Supported by Custom Cable Manufacturing
Our modern world depends on the
accurate and reliable transmission of energy and data. The
technologies that support these transmissions are amazingly simple in terms of
technology, however, requires sophisticated production processes in order to
create the most reliable wiring and cables for a variety of different
applications and industries. The entire industry of custom cable manufacturing
has arisen simply to provide these capabilities to the general public. Here are
7 of the most common cabling industries.
1. Telecom - When you pull out
your smartphone to check your email, check Google Maps, or look up that actor
that was in that thing, you rely on wireless or 5G networks. Or, if you use
your laptop to access the Internet, you often do so over ethernet or fiber
optic cables. Ultimately, all of those networks are powered by customized
cables designed to transfer digital information quickly and accurately.
2. Public Utility - From
transmitting power to a municipality's general public, or ensuring the accurate
timing and powering of common street lights, public utility is another one of
the big consuming industries of custom cable.
3. Aerospace - The wiring in the
instrument panel of an airplane, from a single engine bi plane to an F-16 fighter
jet, can be up to miles in length from if strung together end to end. This
wiring is often complex and requires extremely specific requirements to aid in
the installation and maintenance of the aircraft.
4. Military & Defense - Every
branch of the military has a use for wiring and cabling. From providing power
to an overseas military base or outpost, to providing secure and high fidelity
strategic communications to key units in the field, having reliable wiring that
can perform in some of the most rugged environments in the world is critical to
mission success.
5. Medical - The cabling and
wiring necessary for hospital and healthcare applications also have very
specific requirements. For instance, many medical instruments must be
sterilized, a process that involves extreme temperatures and moisture, two
things known to break down the integrity of electricity and signal conducting
wires. Medical wiring and cabling needs to be able to withstand repeated
exposure to a sanitizing machine.
6. Public Safety - From the
wiring in the dashboard of a police cruiser or ambulance, to the various
communications technologies, public safety is a frequent purchaser of wire and
cable.
7. Industrial Control - Imagine
an automotive production line, and all of the machinery, from the robotic arms
used to assemble parts to the vehicle's frame, to the robots used to deliver
and replenish inventory to the assembly line, the wire and cable needs of major
industrial applications and manufacturing.
