CORDS
CABLES
making the connection for you
( CAPE TOWN EST. )CORDS IS A SUBSIDIARY OF LINKQAGE
CORDS sources and supplies a range of cable types from a distributed supplier base around the globe, and employs personnel with over a 120 years of combined industry experience.
About Us
They have a particular strength in locating "hard-to-find" cable types. CORDS makes up retractile (coiled) cords, harness and loom assemblies; and offers wire and cable cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, and finishing services.
CORDS' personnel understands the value of developing and nurturing sustainable customer relationships. Our work is undertaken in an environment with an ethos of efficient production, and a focus on providing quality products supported by a service-orientated mindset. We also try and laugh together as much as possible.
The quality inherent in the connectivity products we manufacture and supply is mirrored in the relationships that we maintain with our valued customers, suppliers and partners.
Our first and foremost passion at CORDS is for the people behind the cables and products we supply, and that begins with the way in which we value each other.
As a subsidiary of Linkqage, our vision is absolute connectivity reliability — supplying everything from custom retractile curly cords and complex wiring loom assemblies to sourcing hard-to-find global cable specifications.
Our Specialised
Services
We go beyond standard stock distribution. Whether sourcing rare international specs or fabricating custom multi-pin wiring looms in Cape Town, our four core capabilities solve the most complex electrical interconnect challenges.
Cable Supply & Sourcing
We have a broad network of cable supply partners around the world, who are able to respond to virtually any (currently specified) technical requirement. If you are struggling to find something that is possibly on the unusual side, why not try and stump us with your requirements?
Retractile Cords Assembly
Not every cable type can be coiled – only cables with particular outer insulation characteristics can be used. CORDS is able to source appropriate cable types that can retain a retractile memory, and we form coiled cords to customer specification.
Cutting, Stripping, Crimping, Soldering & Finishing
A range of crimping and cutting equipment enables our skilled staff to undertake a variety of crimping, tagging, cable cutting, connector placement and soldering services.
Customer Specification
We are well-placed to source specific componentry for specialist applications. With over 100 years of combined industry experience, CORDS staff is passionate about meeting exacting technical specifications for specialised Assembly requests.
