Cable Solutions Overview
Bulk cables and electrical assemblies for
'mission-critical' applications. Overmolding expertise, rapid prototyping, and
comprehensive testing capabilities makes TCS a valuable partner in
connectivity.
Custom Molded Interconnect Solutions
Injection molded polyurethane is used in the manufacture of our unique cable assemblies. The process creates a tough, impervious barrier that is highly effective in hazardous environments. TCS cable assemblies have excellent cold weather properties, are watertight, and resistant to industry chemicals. TCS also has the in-house capability to design molds for prototypes or short production runs. A variety of materials are used for injection molding.
Hazardous Location Interconnect Systems
Hazardous location cables provide an alternative to
installing wiring in conduit, saving time and material costs, and allowing for
easy maintenance and repair. Conduit systems, although effective at keeping
vapors and liquids from migrating through the cable system, are often
labor-intensive to install and maintain. TCS hazardous location cables offer
the same amount of protection from the elements as conduit systems with a
simpler, less expensive installation process.
