Leaders in the production and distribution of custommade cables since 1987
For nearly 40 years, Elmeridge has specialised in designing, manufacturing, and distributing custom low-voltage cables for various demanding applications. Below are some examples that highlight our durable and innovative cable solutions:
Polyurethane Cable: Supplied to a North Sea fish farm, this cable has outlasted expectations, still operational over 20 years later. Made with a highly resilient, hydrolysis-resistant compound, it is favored by underwater and offshore industries for its toughness and flexibility.
Termite-Proof Compounds: Elmeridge developed termite-resistant cables using compounds like Hytrel, Polyurethane, and Polyethylene. These cables withstood a lab test against aggressive Australian termites, demonstrating their durability.
Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic( GFRP): Known for exceptional durability, Elmeridge’ s pushrod cables for pipes and drains incorporate a unique GFRP rod, allowing for extended push distances without compromising strength.
Steel Wire Armour: Custom-designed for the Spanish Navy, this cable uses a combination of Kevlar yarn and Nitronic 50 steel wire armour for high-strength applications.
Rodent-Resistant Rail Cable: Developed for the Hong Kong Metro and later widely adopted by the London Underground, these cables help protect critical rail systems from rodent damage.
Single Core and F1 Cables: Elmeridge supplied Formula 1 with single-core cables in durable compounds, solving issues with in-car camera cables by preventing vibration-induced wear. Buoyant Fibreoptic Cable: Recently, Elmeridge produced a 5km buoyant fibreoptic cable to inspect culverts under London, demonstrating strength with a 750kg breaking load.
36-Core Umbilical Cable: Designed for a ship’ s radar system, this flexible umbilical cable withstands folding during navigation under low overhead structures.
Medical Silicone Cable: Elmeridge combined two silicone cables into one, reducing the diameter without sacrificing flexibility for medical applications.
Sensor Cables: Featuring inner vent tubes for pressure sensing, these cables serve industries in India, Europe, and the UK.
Copper Braid: Elmeridge supplied the Royal Air Force with copper braid sheaths to ground aircraft during refueling, reducing static electricity build-up and fire hazards.
CTD Cables: We are also proud to work with the British Antarctic Survey( BAS), supplying cables of 8,000 and 10,000 metres of CTD( Conductivity Temperature and Depth) Cables for the RRS Sir David Attenborough( pictured), and RRS James Clark Ross..
