• weapon systems.
We can also manufacture electrical systems for naval vessels, military aircraft, and satellite communication networks supporting national security and defence infrastructure.
We can supply you with a wide variety of cable assembly styles, from fully sealed, ruggedized mil-spec wiring harnesses using heat-shrink sleeving and moulded parts for use in harsh environments, through to high-performance microwave cables, built using the latest RF connector technology for critical military communications.
Energy
We supply power cable assemblies to transmit and distribute generated electricity for the energy sector. Our customers come from the following energy industries:
• oil
• gas
• nuclear
• renewable energy, e.g. wind, solar, wave, tidal, geothermal and hydrogen fuel cells
Harsh environments
We recognise that our customers in the energy sector require reliable products that are robust enough to withstand harsh environments. Cables may get exposed to extremes of temperature, severe weather, strong winds and salt spray, and installation can often be in hard-to-access areas or remote locations.
So with our experience in the energy market and beyond, we build high-reliability cable assemblies for critical control and monitoring systems and ruggedized cable assemblies for surviving any harsh environment application. And they are built to last, to avoid the high cost of repair or replacement.
