NCC being a pioneer and one of the UK's leading manufacturers in this field, have developed techniques in process, materials and cable design which enable them to produce top quality coiled leads from a massive range of cables manufactured to meet their customers specific needs. Dimensions vary from 50mm long coils with 3mm I.D. centre, up to 2.5 metre long with 100mm centre. Depending on design, it is possible to produce leads that will extend up to 12 times their unextended length. The final process required by many of our customers is to have either their coiled lead or straight cable cut to length or made into a terminated assembly.
