Bambach Custom Cables

With your knowledge and our know-how, Bambach Wires & Cables offers you a range of options for customised cable. The composition of a cable can be altered in order to meet your specific requirements, or to meet local or international specifications, such as RoHS. Customisation does not have to be as complex as developing a new cable from scratch, it can be as simple as a modification or addition to an existing cable from our range.

The correct choice of cabling can save you time and money potentially reducing the cost of equipment down-time and maintenance, as well as protecting valuable equipment in your system. The suitability of any cable is dependent on your application. At Bambach we specialise in working with our customers to develop cabling solutions to suit their specific environment.

As the electrical requirements of any cable, such as conductor size, are often predetermined, insulation compounds and screening are the variables of suitability. Here are a few examples of the diverse insulation and screening options available to you from Bambach Wires & Cables.
