Customer Service

1. Supporting your project with specialist services

More than simply a supplier, we're focused on working with you to achieve your project goals.

Electrical engineering design houses call on us for guidance on cable specifications and regulations, electrical engineering contractors make use of our services for a proactive, flexible approach to project delivery, and end users can rely on us as a responsible partner for reliable supply.

2. Specification and Approvals Support

There's rarely just a single option that fits an installation. Specification is a balance of performance demands, environmental challenges, and installation design. Then add on top the regulatory and compliance requirements.

  • Do you need to cross-reference and compare national standards?
  •  Where's the cable going to sit - Have you thought about additional flame retardant measures or enhanced oil resistance?
  • Does the cable need to hold specific third-party test report or approvals?

We take the time to understand the application, the installation environment, and the wider project requirements - and then discuss suitable solutions.

3. Cable Design Consultancy

If specification identifies requirements that aren't currently available in an existing single cable, there is the option to create a customised design. Whether it's fully bespoke design, a composite cable, have additional component layers, or simple be resheathed, a cable that matches and meets the installation demands aids system efficiency and supports operational longevity.

Customised Cable Solutions

Custom designed cable
Fully bespoke design developed by our technical experts against an application's unique specification.
Composite cable
Multiple cables twisted together in a single overall sheath. Beneficial where there is a common and aggressive environment to protect the cable from, or to reduce installation time and complexity.
Oversheathing and Resheathing
Extruding a new sheath over the top, or resheathing to maintain the original overall product dimensions, this customisation can offer protection against environmental damage and enhance product performance.

4. Sample Production and Cable Testing

There are instances where confirming a cable's suitability may mean sample lengths will need to be produced, particularly if it's a custom designed solution. You want to see it and know it will meet the demands of your installation.

Sample testing means time in The Cable Lab. It confirms how the cable performs here and now, but also throughout its lifespan with accelerated ageing for UV weathering, ozone resistance, cold bend testing,fire resistance, flame retardance, heat resistance. For an additional layer of assurance, the products can be tested to an internationally recognised third-party accreditation under corresponding cable test verification programme.

5. Tailored Logistics

Delivery is an integral part of your order experience.

Your cables must be received on time, professionally presented and wrapped to prevent any damage in transit.

We and our long-term cooperative freight forwarders can provide customized transportation plans to ensure that goods arrive at their destination safely and on time.

Tailored delivery solutions can ease onsite space and security concerns. Phased timelines can match large-scale installation programmes, whilst a just-in-time basis takes away storage issues.

All customers have the ability to supply a carrier of choice. If you choose to supply a carrier, Universal Cables can prepare your shipment for pickup or ship to your freight forwarder or port of your choice.

Step 1: Calculate Your Dims

  • Until the order is packaged for shipment, Universal Cables can only estimate its dimensions and weight.
  • Knowing reel or drum sizes may help figure out the shipping method and estimate freight costs.

Step 2: Determine Shipment Size

Use Universal Cables’ packaging information to figure out what size container your goods will fit into and the number of container you will need for your total shipment.

Reels or drums that are too big to fit in a container will need to ship on their own or in a stackable method.

  • 20’ container dims: 5.9m (L) x 2.35m (W) x 2.39 (H), normal goods gross weight: 18t, normal goods volume: 28CBM
  • 40’ container dims: 13.03m (L) x 2.35m (W) x 2.39 (H), normal goods gross weight: 26t, normal goods volume: 58CBM

Step 3: Decide on and Select Incoterms

  • Select Incoterms to determine financial responsibility and transfer of risk.

Step 4: Classify Commodity being Shipped

  • Determine HS Code.

Step 5: Determine Shipping Method for Freight Shipments

Freight shipments are usually larger shipments of multiple packages or large single items that are secured to a pallet. Common international carriers such as FedEx, UPS, and DHL handle these shipments.

  • Multiple services—including air, ocean, limited expedited—are available.
  • Door-to-port of import is preferred, enabling expedited quote times.

Step 6: Determine Cost for Freight Shipments

Freight shipments:

  • Premium asset-based carrier air freight: UPS, FedEx, or DHL

Contact for rate quote with shipment data:

  • Origin, destination, dims, commodity value, and HS code(s).

Select service required:

Standard, expedited, or priority.

Step 7: Prepare Documentation

  • The final destination will determine what documentation is required.
  • Examples of standard documentation:
    • Packing list
    • Commercial invoice
    • Country of Origin (CoO)
    • Bill of Lading (BOL)
  • Customs Brokerage:
    • If you do not have a designated customs broker, the shipping process will be extended. Universal Cables can provide customer brokerage, but additional costs will apply.
