Sami’s production is mainly oriented to the manufacture of special wires and cables, made according to the customer’s specific requirements. The production is also in compliance with the most important technical standards and practices, civil and military, national and international.

The starting point is the cable’s idea. The idea could come from many sources: from standardization bodies, from our staff’s ideas for product development or from you, our customers, who need special requirements for a customized product.

Wherever the idea comes from, it is sent to the Department of Product Development. Here it is evaluated the feasibility of the cable and it is planned its production: this is a hard job that requires both technical know-how and depth knowledge of production technology. Sami makes available to its customers highly qualified staff with extensive theoretical and practical knowledge in the wide field of cables. The staff consists of designers, product managers and technical support personnel and they can develop any idea.

The next step is carried out by our engineering group, which conveys the product requirements in the detailed documentation used by our production team to implement the required cable. That documentation is in form of datasheet, defining all the details regarding the components, materials, dimensions and their tolerances, standards of reference and everything required to define every feature that the cable must have to be suitable for the intended use precisely.

Once the Technical Director approved the datasheet, the PFC (Manufacturing and Control Plan) is developed, with the intervention of the QA Manager. At this point, all the activities related to the cable’s realization are ready, along with all controls to be applied in the various processing phases. Now the factory can proceed to plan and start the production. The PFC, for each stage of processing and / or control, will be personally signed by the worker who performs the operation, reporting also useful remarks on the set-up of the machines, recording the identification of single batches of the materials used and all info that can serve to fully define the process, so that on paper or saved in the IT system we have all the data required to ensure the complete traceability.

However, the production is not the end of the process: all products must be subjected to final inspection by ourQuality Control Team in accordance with standard ISO 9001. It tests the accurate conformity of the product to the Datasheet and the applicable rules. Having passed this last inspection, the cable will be finally packed and shipped.

Conductors bare, tinned, silver or nickel coated copper, copperweld, pure nickel, thermocouple alloys, etc. Stranding to meet any flexibility requirement.

Insulation and sheathing for low and high temperature, resistant to oil, chemicals, tearing and abrasion, flame retardant, low smoke and low toxicity, halogen free, resistant to UV, weathering and radiation, etc., with standard thickness or reduced thickness to get miniaturized cables, with colours and printing in compliance with customer’s need.

Shields: braid or spiral of bare, tinned, silver or nickel coated copper wire, aluminium/polyester or copper polyester tape with drain wire, and specific configurations with low transfer impedance for maximum shielding effectiveness (EMI).

In case a cable will be under severe mechanical stress or has to be installed in areas with presence of rodents, it needs to be adequately protected by an armour.
The choice of the type of armour should be made according to specific needs: flexibility, environment where the installation takes place (temperature, humidity, presence of corrosive chemicals, etc.), pressure and tensile loads to which the cable will be subjected, etc.

In presence of aggressive chemicals, the conditions, the duration and the temperature of contact with cables, have to be taken into consideration. It is possible to choose materials for sheath offering adequate protection in majority of cases.
However, in most severe cases, with long lasting contact with aggressive chemicals, in particular for directly buried cables, it may be necessary an additional protection: lead sheath or multi-layer sheath.

High temperature coaxial cables according to MIL-C-17, insulated and sheathed with fluoropolymers.
