Leading Manufacturer of Access Control Composite Cables
At Custom Designed Cables, we design and manufacture access control composite cables specifically suited to your individual requirements. These products are designed for use within access control systems, offering connectivity across components such as card readers, door contacts, auxiliary components, lockable power and retinal scanning devices.
Access control composite cables are widely used within public buildings such as hospitals and government or local authority buildings, alongside commercial organisations and data centres, and are well suited to use on BMS systems.
Access Control Cable Solutions
Access control composite cables offer connectivity for access control systems within a single cable, generally combining differing combinations of low voltage power, signal and data cables. This composite construction offers significant installation time savings, since only one cable is required to operate all of the individual components, rather than running several separate cables to each device.
Combining multiple functions within a single composite cable also simplifies containment and cable management on site, which can be particularly useful on larger installations with many access points.
Uses for Access Control Composite Cables
Access control composite cables support a wide range of components within a single system, including:
- Card readers
- Door contacts
- Auxiliary components
- Lockable power devices
- Retinal scanning devices
These cables are commonly specified for hospitals, government and local authority buildings, commercial organisations and data centres, and are well suited to use on building management systems (BMS), where reliable, coordinated control of multiple access points is essential.
