What to Consider When Choosing a Spiral Cable Manufacturer? Custom Sizes, Cross-Sections, and OEM Cable Solutions

A spiral cable is not simply a standard cable wound to a specific length. Especially for machinery, automation, electrical devices, hotel equipment, and OEM projects, the cable cross-section, number of conductors, spiral size, working distance, cable structure, and connection characteristics of the spiral cable must be determined according to the application.

Therefore, when purchasing spiral cables, businesses should evaluate criteria such as production capability, technical support, custom production possibilities, and product quality, rather than just comparing prices.

At Power Cable, our significant difference is that we are not limited to being a company that only supplies ready-made products. As a manufacturer in the field of electrical cables and custom cable solutions, we evaluate customers’ non-standard needs according to their technical specifications.

Especially in cases where standard catalog sizes are insufficient, custom production solutions can be considered according to the desired cable cross-section, number of conductors, length, spiral size, and connection characteristics.

Why is it Important to Work with a Manufacturer When Buying Spiral Cables?

A spiral cable is a technical product that must be selected according to the operating conditions of the device or machine in which it will be used.

For example, one customer might need:

3×1.5 mm² – 1.5 meter PUR spiral cable

Another customer might need:

3×2.5 mm² – different working lengths – spiral cable with custom connections

An OEM manufacturer’s needs might be completely different.

Therefore, one of the significant advantages of working directly with the manufacturer is that the product is evaluated not only according to existing stocks, but also according to the technical needs of the project.

Power Cable’s spiral cable solutions allow for the evaluation of applications with different cross-sections and lengths, as well as custom cable requirements.

Why is Power Cable Not Just a Cable Seller?

In the cable industry, the concepts of “seller,” “supplier,” and “manufacturer” are different.

A seller can only offer a ready-made product to the customer.

A manufacturer, on the other hand, can evaluate the technical specifications of the product, the production process, and the solutions that can be created according to the customer’s needs.

At Power Cable, we particularly emphasize our identity as a manufacturer.

Therefore, instead of simply answering our customers’ questions with:

“What type of spiral cable do you have?”

We also evaluate technical criteria such as:

“What is your application, what cross-section do you need, how many cores are required, what is the working length, and what should the connection type be?”

This approach is particularly important in OEM cable solutions and mass production projects.

Standard Spiral Cable or Custom Production?

Power Cable’s catalog includes different standard spiral cable models.

These include:

PWR244 – 2×0.75 mm² / 35 cm
PWR245 – 2×0.75 mm² / 50 cm
PWR246 – 3×1 mm² / 1.5 meters
PWR247 – 3×1.5 mm² / 1.5 meters
PWR248 – 3×2.5 mm² / 1.5 meters

and other options.

All of these products are listed as PUR spiral cables in the catalog.

However, the customer’s needs may differ from these standard dimensions.

For example:

A different cross-section instead of 3×1 mm²

or

A different length instead of 1.5 meters

may be required.

This is where the custom-made spiral cable option becomes important.

Custom Spiral Cable in Desired Cross-Section

The cable needs of every electrical device are not the same.

While a 2×0.75 mm² spiral cable may suffice for one project, a different cross-section may be required for another.

Therefore, if the customer’s needs cannot be met with standard catalog products, a custom production evaluation can be made according to the desired cable cross-section and technical specifications.

For example, in a special project:

2×0.75 mm²
3×1 mm²
3×1.5 mm²
3×2.5 mm²

a different structure may be requested from standard options such as these.

Here, not only the cross-section of the product but also the conductor structure, operating conditions, and spiral geometry should be considered.

Why is Cross-Section Important in Spiral Cable Production?

Cable cross-section is one of the fundamental parameters in electrical design.

For example, it should not be assumed that a 3×2.5 mm² cable and a 2×0.75 mm² cable will be used in the same application.

When determining the cable cross-section, the following factors should be considered:

Device power requirement
Current rating
Cable length
Usage method
Environmental conditions
Connection type

Therefore, in a request for a special spiral cable, instead of simply saying “spiral cable,” the desired cross-section should be clearly specified.

Number of Cores in Spiral Cable Production

The number of cores is as important as the cable cross-section.

For example:

2×0.75 mm²

and

3×1 mm²

are not the same cable.

One device may require a two-core connection, while another may require a three-core connection.

Therefore, in special production requests:

How many cores are needed?

This question must be answered.

Spiral Cable of Desired Length

Standard products may have specific length options.

For example, the Power Cable catalog includes spiral cable lengths such as 35 cm, 50 cm, and 1.5 meters.

However, a special machine…
