And it does, reliably and repeatedly. Closely controlled quality is taken for granted, which is only as it should be in the highly developed engines of a mature and rigorously tested industry. Long after the period of the early giant strides, the technology of wire and cable making is still advancing, but by way of enhancements to capability. In announcing its latest innovation — a faster and safer cable-pulling method that also cuts down on waste — a leading maker of electrical wire compared it to “what the iPod did for Apple.” To a wire and cable maker alert to the smallest advantage in a fiercely competitive marketplace, the comparison will not seem very wide of the mark.
