Have you considered using LIYcY Cable rather than Def-Std?  It comes in Grey & Black and is a great alternative with non repeated colour cores.

Why change?  Well let’s say you have two similar cables for a device and as part of the technical log you have to list the core colours for field repair.  Choosing the two different types of cable give you two totally different colour cores so you can not get them mixed up in field repairs.

With the specifications practically identical it’s a neat little trick to help prevent problems later on!

If you are a design engineer you’re probably under pressure right now to design using lower cost parts.  We understand the fear of “low cost” but don’t worry we know the difference between cheap and low cost!

Just like you we spend our time making things so we know what falls apart after 5 minuets and what is good quality and has durability.

Not many people like being cheap we all want to work with the highest possible quality.  In the commercial world this is just not always possible.

The key is understanding the difference between knowing the secrets to working out if a part will be cheap and nasty or acceptable for the application.

There is no need for you to hope and cross your fingers that the connector series you specified will work.  When you work with us our Free Design service means you can talk about your fears and we will help you to make those difficult decisions.  We are here to help!

Visiting Subcon yesterday I noticed a lot of very innovative products a credit to the UK manufacturing industry.  I was struck by one thing.  Image, or lack of pizzazz!

What do I mean by this?  Well there were some very clever products in boring boxes linked by dull colours.  I don’t mean to be rude but the stands attracting the most visitors and interest were the ones who really stood out from the crowd.

So what is my point?  Well it’s all about the simple things like using brighter colours in your link cables.  Something as simple as brightening up the cable colours can make a massive difference to the whole look for the product.  And this works!

As an example specialist drill bits on display at one stand had their tips in bright and different colours it just made the whole product range stand out from the crowd.  I suspect their enquires from the show were significantly higher than their competitors.

This does not mean that you have to rush off and buy the most garish colour cable you can find jut think about using more colour more often.

And of course we can help you so you are not on your own!

Have a great weekend!

We know using the right cable can make a big difference to the performance of your cable assemblies.  With so much choice it is easy to just stick with what you have been using we understand this. 

But ask yourself. Do you have problems with shrink back when you apply heat to the conductor?  Is the sheath flexible and well made?

If the answer is yes then there is some good news for you.  We spend so much time looking into the better cable so you don’t have to.  Remember, better does NOT always mean more expensive!

Also, remember working with poor quality cabe costs you more becuase you spend more time working with it.  A great cable is quick and easy to work with.

We can send you free sample for you to compare, it’s worth investigating as you may well even save some money in the process!
