Cable manufacturing overview

Cable manufacturer produces copper and aluminum wire, and optical fiber, as well as electrical cable products for the energy, construction, industrial, specialty and communications markets.

Manufacturing processes

• Wire drawing - Acquire metal wires that fit with AWG
• Annealing - Heat treating the copper to make it soft and flexible
• Twisting and stranding - Twist or strand two or more wires of the same gauge together
• Insulation - Apply coating of plastic or other insulating material
• Spark test - Check the insulation of electrical conductors
• Phase wiring - Assemble the cable according to different utilities
• Additional covering - Wrap up wires, together with interference-preventing layer if needed, into a protection jacket if needed
• Outer sheath - Apply more protective measures for cables depending on the required protection level
• Marking - To mark important information on the cable
• Quality control - Various tests to ensure the cable is free of defect and meet ISO9001 regulation
