Multi/Cable

What Multi/Cable does

Multi/Cable Corporation is a privately held custom manufacturer of multi-conductor cable and wire, founded in 1970 and headquartered at 37 Horizon Drive, Bristol, Connecticut. The company designs and produces specialty cables for OEMs and industrial buyers across instrumentation and control, electronic, flexible cord, thermocouple, high-temperature, and Mil Spec (M16878 hookup wire, M27500 and M55021 cable) product lines, serving end markets including industrial automation, utilities, oil and gas, aerospace and defense, renewable energy, and emergency vehicles. Reported named customers include Pratt & Whitney, ABB Combustion, and Progress Energy, with reference projects such as Boston's Big Dig, and the company states more than 50 years of continuous operation.

Manufacturing is built around a five-step custom process (consultation, design, prototyping, production, quality control) that supports run lengths from 50 feet to 500,000 feet. The technology stack spans conductor materials (bare, tinned, and plated copper plus thermocouple alloys), insulation systems (PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, nylon, fiberglass, and fluoropolymers including FEP, PTFE, and PFA), and shielding options including foil shields, metal braids, and the proprietary MultiShield configuration that combines foil and braid for 100% individually isolated pairs and triads. Quality is anchored in ISO 9001 compliance and UL Registered Firm status with approvals across fixture wire, power and control tray cable, wind turbine tray cable, thermoplastic insulated wire, power-limited circuit cable, appliance wiring material, and flexible cord categories, supplemented by NEC Article 725, CSA, and ICEA S-61-402 compliance.

Revenue is generated through one-time custom manufacturing orders priced via quote (with a stated one-business-day quote turnaround) and sold through three channels: direct OEM sales, leading wire and cable distributors (Anixter, Houston, Industrial Electric, RWS), and a Just-in-Time stocking program for blanket-order customers. GTM is sales-led, supported by an RFQ website form, phone sales, educational e-books, and a LinkedIn presence, with modest international reach via a sales office in Bangalore, India, while manufacturing remains centralized in Bristol. Value-added services (dyeing, striping, etching, twisting, bundling, printing, labeling, inventory management, and termination) complement the core cable offering.
