Our Cables
North American specification cables that UK manufacturers can rely on
At Quadrant Cable Services Ltd, we specialise in North American specification cables UK manufacturers and European partners use when their equipment must meet UL and CSA standards. Our range covers portable cords, industrial cords, building wire and hook-up wire for export-ready machinery, maintenance and OEM production.
When your projects depend on North American specification cables, sourcing from overseas can introduce long lead times, complicated imports
and uncertainty over availability. By holding stock in the UK and working closely with proven manufacturers, Quadrant Cable gives you faster access
to the UL/CSA-approved cables you need for industrial applications across the UK and EU.
