Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Anything else, ask an engineer.
What information do you need to quote a cable schedule?
Three things start every quotation: the electrical duty (loads or signal types), the route (buried, tray, duct, carrier — with lengths), and the environment (temperature, moisture, chemicals, movement). Panel and gland details refine the quotation to a committed bill of materials.
Can you cut to length and mark drums for phases?
Yes. Cut-to-length supply on tagged drums is standard practice. Tell us the pull schedule and each drum arrives tagged with its run reference, length, batch and test-record number.
How are electrical values specified?
Specifications state typical values under stated reference conditions, because installed performance depends on routing, grouping and ambient conditions. Constructions are engineered with reference to commonly referenced international cable standards, and batch records show measured values for the delivered lot.
Do you supply hardware for cable we did not make?
Usually yes. Glands, lugs, trays and rollers are selected by cable dimensions, not by brand. Send the overall diameter and construction details — or a clear photograph of the cable end — and we confirm fit before quoting.
What are typical lead times?
Stock constructions ship within days of order confirmation; made-to-order constructions typically run some weeks depending on the queue and materials. The order confirmation states the committed date, and partial deliveries can follow the pull schedule.
What documentation ships with a delivery?
Every drum carries a tag with length, batch and test-record reference. The delivery includes batch test records, and material certificates are available per batch on request. Records stay retrievable for the working life of the installation.
