What will NOT happen to your 3-CI Cable

If you've kept up to date with our posts you know that 3-CI takes a great deal of pride in quality and workmanship. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for all cable manufacturers in the market.

While over-molded assembly is a niche in today's market there are a hand full of firms who claim to specialize in this process. This said, we must ask what is the point of over-molding if a cable cannot stand up to the harsh environments the process is designed to overcome. Indeed over-molding is not a simple one-step-shot method; rather its a science which involves careful consideration of all relevant factors. Failure to do so can leave a client with high expectations and little to show for them save serious breakage related hassle and cost.

One such customer brought us an unfortunate and costly personal example. These units are typical of units which have not been adequately bonded and contain no custom back-shell; two essential portions of a robust assembly. They had been manufactured by an assembly house who claimed to produce robust over-molded assembly but who's workmanship said otherwise.

Below are pictures of the assemblies. Notice no back-shell whatsoever and completely inadequate bonding.

3-CI Cable come standard with custom aluminum back-shells and molecular polyurethane bonding to keep you working so you don't need to worry about breakage of this nature. Contact 3-CI at info@3-ci.com or 403-250-2271 for more information.
