Cables, one of the lifebloods of the modern world, ensure the flow of energy and data in every field, from our homes to factories, construction sites, and dozens of industries. So why is quality so important in the production of cable that undertake this critical task?
The concept of quality should be evaluated in terms of both safety and performance in cables.
Underlining the importance of quality in cable production provides an assurance of how safe and effective the products are for users, as a quality cable guarantees protection against hazards such as electrical faults, fire, and long-lasting use. In addition, quality cables manufactured by standards using quality compounds optimize energy efficiency and transmission performance, resulting in lower costs and environmentally friendly consumption.
Factors Determining Quality in Cable Production
The basis of quality cable production starts from the quality of the material (compound) used, design, production process, quality control methods, and certifications.
Material Quality: Conductive metals such as first-class copper or aluminum, and high-quality insulation materials are of great importance in this sense. PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PE (polyethylene), XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), Rubber, etc. materials used in cable insulators are also available in varieties that provide many additional benefits such as UV resistance, oil resistance, flame retardancy, and low smoke density.
Design and Engineering: The cable design should be made with various conditions of use in mind. For example, a submarine cable and an underground cable do not show the same design features. Each element of the cables, which are constructed according to different standards, serves a different purpose.
Production Technology: Modern manufacturing technologies make cable production both more efficient and more consistent.
Quality Control Processes: Quality control at every stage of production ensures that cables comply with international standards and specifications.
Certifications: Internationally recognized certifications such as ISO quality management system certification and CE marking are a sign of documented quality. In addition, the use of Construction Products Regulation (CPR) compliant cables has become mandatory in recent years and benefits users by creating a standard in terms of safety.
The Importance of Quality for Customer Satisfaction
Quality in cable production directly affects not only the performance of the product but also customer satisfaction. Customers feel comfortable investing in a quality and reliable product. This leads to valuable results such as brand loyalty and positive field experiences.
The long-term performance and low failure rate that quality ensures also result in significant cost savings for customers. A quality-oriented production approach builds a bridge of trust between the company and the customer, with long-lasting benefits for both parties.
After all, quality is not just a standard or a list of requirements. It is also a commitment that your customers expect and deserve from you. Quality is a factor that should never be compromised on and is a factor that makes manufacturers stand out in the fiercely competitive cable industry.
It should not be forgotten that there is no shortcut to quality. As Üntel Kablo, we do not compromise on the quality of the cables we produce with our experience of more than 50 years, more than 300 international certificates, TS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 TÜRKAK accredited laboratory, more than 50 testing capacities, and quality control processes at every stage of production.
