Moulded and Potted Cable Assembly
Moulded Cable Manufacturing: Custom Cable Assemblies
At Cablepoint, we offer a comprehensive range of custom-moulded and potted cable assemblies, made to meet the most demanding requirements. Our moulded cables are renowned for their exceptional quality, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.
The Moulded Cable Difference: What is the purpose of moulding?
Moulded cables and pot end cables provide a superior level of protection and durability compared to traditional cable assemblies. The overmoulding process encapsulates the cable termination, creating a seamless and watertight seal.
This enhances the cable’s resistance to:
Abrasion: Protects against wear and tear
Chemicals: Resists corrosion and degradation
Moisture: Prevents water ingress and damage
Custom Moulded Cables: How Does Moulding and Potting Work?
- Material Selection: Choosing the right materials for optimal performance and durability.
- Mould Tooling: Developing precise mould tooling for consistent and high-quality production.
- Assembly: Precision assembly of cables and connectors.
- Overmoulding: We transition seamlessly to full-scale production once designs are finalised.
- Testing and Inspection: Rigorous quality control to ensure product excellence.

Common Questions About Moulded Cables
Moulded cables offer several advantages over traditional cable assemblies. They provide enhanced durability, protection against environmental factors (such as water, chemicals, and abrasion), and improved strain relief. The seamless integration of the cable and connector also eliminates potential points of failure.
The choice of material for moulded cable overmoulding depends on the specific application requirements. Common materials include:
- Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE): Offer flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.
- Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU): Known for its toughness, abrasion resistance, and flexibility.
- Silicone: Provides excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, and durability.
- Epoxy resins: Offer superior chemical resistance and mechanical properties.
