OUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

Continental Cables is built on the strong foundation of sound business principles. Developing close relationships with industry players over the years, coupled with sound purchasing and selling skills, has ensured longevity and continuous success. Service, price and stock availability are key factors in ensuring our customer loyalty.

Service

Our business is built on relationships: creating, nurturing and honouring them. Our customers depend on Continental Cables to provide a quality product with an unmatched quality service. 

Our values of direct relationship building and a calculated purchasing strategy has kept us ahead of the competition, dominating in a price-driven market. We are driven to understand the needs of customers, and to be flexible enough to meet their demands: competitive pricing, quality and efficiency.

Price

In a market with an abundance of distributors, our advantage allows us to be competitive. We can grow, develop and innovate where others potentially cannot, keeping our prices competitive. 

Stock availability

Our clients trust us to deliver on our promise to provide a quality service at an exceptional rate. We face supply-chain challenges head on, using our adaptability and experience to find innovative solutions for stock availability. 

GET TO KNOW OUR PRODUCTS

While our customer-centric approach and resilience builds long-lasting relationships, it is the continuous supply of quality cables at an exceptionally competitive rate that grabs attention. Two of our products are our copper earth continuity conductors (Cu ECC) and our copper flame retardant (Cu FR) armoured cables. These products can be either low or medium voltage. Low voltage cables (bells) are up to 1,5mm by 16mm and medium voltage (mains) range from 25mm to 300mm. All cable products comply fully with the appropriate SANS and IEC standards and are manufactured and distributed in accordance with the ISO 9001 quality management system. 

Our ECC and FR bells copper conductors (Round Conductors with sizes from 1.5-16mm²) are manufactured in two, three or four cores. The mains range (Shaped Conductors from 25-300mm²) is manufactured in either copper or stranded aluminium conductor. Cores are insulated with PVC or XLPE. The outer sheath is extruded with general-purpose, fire-retardant PVC. These products are suitable for direct burial installations, as well as in ducts for long-term use, and are a preferred option for low-voltage power distribution in industrial plants, shopping centres, commercial buildings and residential developments.

Cu ECC

Our Cu ECC multicores from 1,5-4mm  can be provided on a made-to-order basis with core quantities of 7, 12, 19, 27 and 37. Several strands of the galvanised steel wire used for the armouring are replaced with tinned copper wires, which serve as the built in ECC (Earth Continuity Conductor), eliminating the need for a separate earth. The tinned copper earth wire is therefore protected against oxidation and corrosion. 

Cu FR

Multicores are offered in the following sizes: 1.5 and 2.5mm² (provided in core quantities of 7, 12, 19, 27 and 37); 4mm² (provided on a made-to-order basis with core quantities of 7, 12 and 19); and 6mm² (provided on a made-to-order basis with a core quantity of 7). Armouring consists of Galvanised Steel Wire (SWA) around the bedding and serves as a mechanical protection against external damage.

We deliver on the expectation to be competitively priced, ensuring availability of stock while offering an unmatched service. If you need excellent cable solutions, you need Continental Cables.
