Delivery time
Cables in stock can be shipped out the same day or the day that is determined as customer specific delivery date. For non standard stock items, delivery times may vary. An rough estimate is between 10 to 18 weeks. Please be informed that delivery time on order confirmation is leading.
Coil length and smaller pieces
The coil length of an MI cable varies depending on the outside diameter and the type of sheath material used. For an efficient solution to automatically cut MI cable coils into smaller pieces, discover the CableStream CS-1100. This cutting and straightening machine is specially designed for MI TC and RTD cables.
