Cables and Cabinets
Cable and cabinet production for demanding conditions
Complex cabling and cabinets for demanding conditions are Fosstech’s specialty. We deliver cable systems and cabinet production for harsh environments where standard solutions are not sufficient and where products are expected to perform reliably throughout their intended service life.
Fosstech handles production and assembly of cable harnesses, oil-filled and pressure-balanced cables, and electrical cabinets for ships, underwater vehicles, and industrial applications. These solutions are delivered into environments where electromagnetic interference, mechanical shock, acoustic noise, moisture exposure, pressure, and humid or salt-laden conditions are part of normal operation.
Every delivery is tested and documented before it leaves production. This ensures that cable and cabinet solutions perform as intended over their service life and meet the requirements for robustness, documentation, and delivery precision.
What we deliver
Cable production
Cable assemblies ranging from simple wire sets to advanced harnesses for industrial, maritime, and defence applications. For subsea and high-pressure use, Fosstech manufactures oil-filled and pressure-balanced cables designed for long-term exposure.
Cabinet building
Control cabinets and distribution boards built for reliable operation in harsh environments, with focus on robustness, EMC performance, accessibility, cooling, and environmental protection.
Testing and quality control
All cable and cabinet assemblies are tested and inspected before delivery. Functional testing and factory acceptance testing (FAT) are integral parts of the delivery to verify compliance with defined requirements.
Material and component selection
Materials and components are selected from proven suppliers and matched to the operating environment and expected service life. All selections are documented to ensure traceability.
Designed for demanding environments
Fosstech manufactures cable and cabinet solutions for environments where operating conditions place high demands on materials and workmanship.
Cables and cabinets are exposed to different risks and are therefore handled differently in production.
Cable manufacturing challenges
Cable reliability is influenced by how cables are assembled, routed, and protected over time.
Typical challenges include:
- Water ingress at terminations and interfaces
- Pressure effects in subsea and offshore installations
- Mechanical loading, bending, and vibration
- Long-term exposure without access for repair
Fosstech addresses these challenges through controlled termination methods, appropriate strain relief, material selection suited to the environment, and disciplined assembly processes.
Cabinet manufacturing challenges
Cabinet reliability depends on how enclosures manage their environment.
Typical challenges include:
- Moisture ingress and condensation
- Salt-laden air and corrosion
- EMC issues related to cabinet layout
- Balancing cooling requirements with sealing and protection
Fosstech builds cabinets with attention to sealing, layout, cooling strategy, and consistent assembly to ensure stable operation over time.
Manufacturing with control and repeatability
Cable and cabinet assemblies must be produced the same way every time.
Fosstech works with defined work instructions, controlled handover from initial builds to repeat production, and documented processes. Component traceability ensures that assemblies can be reproduced with consistent quality.
Close coordination between production and testing allows issues to be identified early and corrected before delivery.
Testing, documentation, and delivery precision
Testing and documentation are integral parts of Fosstech’s deliveries.
Every cable harness and cabinet is tested and documented before shipment. Assemblies are not released unless they meet defined requirements. Documentation and traceability provide customers with confidence in quality and consistency.
When Fosstech is the right partner
Fosstech cable and cabinet production is a good fit when:
- Systems operate in harsh or demanding environments
- Reliability and documentation are critical
- Cable harnesses or cabinets are complex
- Testing, traceability, and delivery precision are required
