Cable conversion
Cable conversion is generally focused on the external cable jacket, and can take many different forms – all of which we carry out at CDC. This includes changing the colour of a cable jacket, either to reflect branding or for operational and safety purposes. We can also add a transparent jacket to a cable.
Changing the colour of a cable jacket is usually performed by oversheathing the existing jacket, or removing and replacing it entirely.
Cable Conversion
In rapidly changing environments, and ever-increasing performance demands, a cable can become obsolete.
With conversions, however, we can make your old cables fit for purpose again. Our conversion services include adding additional cable shielding, cable armouring in the format of either a Galvanised Steel wire braid or Steel wire armour or further cable jackets, as your requirements demand.
Cable printing
Cable printing enables our customers to mark their product with either their own branding, identification numbers or metre marking for length indication. CDC ltd can also offer a variation of these elements or all three if required. We have the capability to print inline during our cable extrusion process saving cost or offline if working on a free issue basis. Our size range is from 1mm up to 40mm in a choice of ink colours: Black or White enabling you to add these elements to your cable.
