Our Specialty Process of Manufacturing & Cable Assembly

What We Can Do

Manufacturing & Assembly

Much of today’s high technology equipment, regardless of industry, requires specialty wires and cables. From pipeline inspection to performance lighting to medical-grade equipment, SWC can customize cable to meet any functionality that your business requires.

Our cable products are designed to withstand extreme conditions such as high/low temperatures, extreme tension, and high compression. We are dedicated to manufacturing the highest quality cable products that your business and community can depend on.

Our team of engineers and technicians are dedicated to innovation in both methodology and technology. We combine innovation with superior materials to manufacture and assemble our cables.

Cable Manufacturing Capabilities

SWC has the experience and resources to design, engineer and manufacture a solution. We offer a diverse portfolio of insulation, shielding, and jacketing materials that are specialized to best fit your project requirements.

Insulating

For the highest standard in quality and reliability, SWC is in control of every step, including the very first step – the wire. Our wires are coated with industry-leading plastics for insulation. Every wire we build is rigorously tested with a spark tester to ensure the insolation is perfect. Our specialty capabilities allow us to reel up to 10,000 feet of wire in one spool. The wire gauge can range from anywhere from 3/0 to 28AWG.

Twisting

High speed twisting provides accurate control of lay lengths to meet today’s demanding communication protocols.

Cabling

Insulated wire and other components are spooled and fed through an orientation plate to the cabler by a skilled operator. The bunching process wraps various components such as individual insulated wires, coax, fibre optic, data cable fillers, etc into one specialized cable.

Shielding / Taping

Cable shielding specifications vary depending on the project and industry. Aluminum foil tape protects against EMI. To ensure the twisted cable does not unravel, a precision taping head wraps binder tape around the cable, ensuring each component stays in place. Many different forms of tape can be used for this process such as paper, mylar, waterblock and copper.

Braiding

Depending on project needs we can apply either a kevlar, stainless steel or tinned copper braid to any cable we manufacture.

Jacketing

The final step in manufacturing is jacketing the cable. The primary jacket material used is polyurethane which can have either a shiny or matte finish. We have capabilities to extrude polyethylene as well.

25 Years Of Specialty Cable Experience

Manufactured in Alberta, Canada and Texas, SWC has delivered unrivaled customer service. Decade after decade, our loyal customers have depended on us for high quality, innovative, engineered solutions.

Assembly Capabilities

Our in-house assembly capabilities are fully customizable. Every project has different situational and environmental factors that require specialty cable. With design experts, custom machining and molding technology, SWC is primed to support your specialty needs.

Design

Our team of dedicated engineers and technicians use AutoCAD, Mastercam, and SolidWorks to meet any and every assembly, cable and connector specification.

Machining

In-house machining capabilities allows us to build and modify tools for a quick turnaround. We do also have an extensive library of tools already in house.

Termination

The assembly of your specialty cable and connector happens with our termination team. Our technicians crimp, solder, and terminate cables to IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards and are trained to monitor every step of the termination process to ensure quality and safety for every cable.

Molding

Our capabilities are made possible by our eight, high-pressure molding machines. We design and build custom molds to protect the cable assembly against harsh environments. We also have capabilities to pour mold if required.

Testing

All of our products are 100% tested before and after molding for continuity and hipot. SWC uses Cirris testing to ensure the quality of our products. When necessary pressure testing is also available. Testing records can be provided upon request.

Delivery

SWC handles our cable products with care, which is why we provide shipping and stocking programs for our customers. Our capabilities include packaging, kitting and worldwide shipping.
