Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2013
Wire & cabling
for the transport
industry
Land. Sea. Air. Space. The case could
be made that the field served by
transport applications is the widest in
the wire and cable industry: a universe
of moving parts in which faultless
performance must be guaranteed
across the broadest possible range
of military, industrial, commercial and
personal interests.
Airline pilots and firefighters are heavily
reliant on the safety and reliability of
their equipment. But so are users
of snowmobiles and recreational
watercraft, whose machines are no less
dependent on the soundness of their
wired electromechanical systems.
Serving so many masters is a heavy
responsibility, but one welcomed by
the companies reviewed in this section
of Wire & Cable ASIA. Whether a failure
would threaten catastrophe or “mere”
inconvenience, they take the view that
it shouldn’t happen. Whatever mode
of transportation is involved, that ideal
of zero tolerance for error has them all
covered.
