Custom Cable Assemblies Built to Your Requirements

Every application has its own demands. That is why we manufacture custom wire rope cable assemblies designed around your specifications for fit, function, and performance.

Whether you need a prototype, short production run, or high-volume order, our team works with you to deliver cable assemblies that meet your requirements for strength, durability, and consistency.

Whether you need a standard assembly or a fully custom design, Continental Cable can help deliver a finished product built to your requirements.

Manufacturing Capabilities

Our cable assembly capabilities include swaging, stranding, extrusion, and machining to support a broad range of assembly designs and end-use requirements. We operate hydraulic swagers from 50 to 1500 tons, along with rotary swaging equipment, enabling us to swage fittings from 3/64 inch through 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

We also support specialty bar and tubing swaging onto cable, helping customers achieve finished assemblies that may not be possible with off-the-shelf components alone.

Cable Assembly Types

We manufacture a wide range of custom wire rope cable assemblies and terminations, including:

Customizable Assembly Features

To support identification, protection, and application-specific performance, cable assemblies can be produced with features such as:

  • Part marking

  • Heat shrink tubing

  • Colored PVC-coated cable

  • Nylon-coated cable

Applications for Wire Rope Cable Assemblies

Custom wire rope cable assemblies are used in applications that require reliable strength, secure termination, and controlled movement, including:

  • Lifting

  • Pulling

  • Securing

  • Connecting

  • Suspension

  • Reeling systems

Zinc Die Cast Terminations

For applications that require enhanced design flexibility or high-strength terminations, zinc die cast technology offers important advantages.

Benefits can include:

  • High-strength terminations that may exceed nominal published cable breaking strength in many applications

  • Greater design flexibility for custom shapes and configurations not feasible with traditional swaged fittings

Built for OEMs and Specialized Projects

Continental Cable supports both standard and custom assembly requirements, including projects that call for custom fittings, specialized terminations, or customer-supplied materials. Our team can help guide your project from concept through production.
