Communication cables

The Cable market is a fast moving market where pressure on efficiency and cost reduction is high. Planning times are tight and delays are costly.

The amount of cables needed for a project can reach hundreds of kilometers. The need for efficiency, ease of installation and cost reduction emphasises the importance of service concepts that allow customers to focus on project delivery.

R&M utilises a logistic service concept which supports our clients during cable installation.

R&M’s cutting & labeling service has more than 400 reel positions making it possible to cut & label cables on a large scale. This means that cables are delivered at the exact lengths needed and labeled with detailed information about the installation location. Main advantages of this concept are cost reduction due to purchase efficiency, no stock, no storage, no waste and faster installation.

Early involvement in the design process allows R&M to plan ahead stock availability. Detailed information from engineers about cable lengths, types and diameters is gathered to compile a standardized list which is used for the final label. The customer decides what information will be added for the installer to ease the installation.

In our specially equipped cutting & labeling hall, the cables are cut, labeled and packaged.

Packaging plays an important role in this concept, cables are sorted by route and labeled with the necessary details for the installer about the cable and the location. This results in 25% faster installation and less errors.

Combined with planning, the cables are delivered just in – time. No stock is needed on location, resulting in lower costs and reduced risk.
