MULTI Cable Limited is a locally registered Tanzanian company which offers an extensive range of products in Tanzanian market and neighbouring countries. The company is based in Dar es Salaam city and manufactures quality products such as Industrial and domestic cables, PVC compound, PVC pipes and HDPE coils, Power cables and Hose pipes. Apart from manufacturing own products, the firm also imports high quality electrical items that certifies TBS standards using British standards. These products includes all the electrical accessories such as the switches, energy savers, main switch extensions, bulbs, tube lights and fittings. The firm also has introduced the latest turn UK Alf series for the local people who can afford for low price in terms of manufacturing. This is the second option for the local people for general market. Apart from cables, the firm manufactures aluminium conductors and PPR pipes as well as Hose pipes, HDPE coils and conduit pipes. In order to have a smooth distribution of its products, the firm is well represented with its branches in Arusha and Mwanza cities respectively. The company’s main strategy include local presence and market oriented sales organization combined with a strong service backup.
Quality policy statement:
The company’s philosophy is to become more responsive to its customer needs and be able to attract new ones with a vision to be a cost effective manufacturer and supplier of quality products and services that provides the best customer value. To achieve the most requited targets, the firm has improved the goals in delivering the customer superior product by following the company’s guiding principles of quality first.
Cables:
Multi Cable is one of the first organizations to be engaged in manufacturing of power and control cables. Today is one of the leading companies to cater for the diverse requirements of its clients in the field of power and distribution, thus employing an advanced technological work in cable manufacturing. The company has a wide range of cable products which includes PVC power and control cables with aluminium and copper conductor, telecommunication cables, PVC insulated flexible cables and cords. The company also manufactures special cables as per the customers’ requirement. The company’s cables are manufactured using modern compounds which are low smoke and fumes, slow to ignite and burns slowly when exposed to flames, ignition and spread of fire along cable is delayed. Blinding smoke, choking gases and corrosive acids produced by burning cables are massively reduced that is also giving more time to enable the orderly evacuation of people from buildings in case of fire and costly damage to sensitive equipment from corrosive fluids is minimized.
Insulation:
On insulation, the company is using XLPE (Cross Linked Polythene) low density polythene which has the benefits of slight reduction in insulation thickness and strength, that allows higher current rating to be achieved, and it’s mechanically strong. The insulation has a higher temperature capability that withstand 90 degrees of centigrade operating conductor temperature and in case of short circuit can withstand maximum conductor temperature of up to 200 degrees of centigrade. Environmental stress, excellent abrasion and chemical resistance.
Testing:
The company has a well equipped laboratory controlled by experienced staff and qualified engineers. The company uses high technology plant and machines to cater for the requirement of their client’s high grade cables. The company tests cables before they supply to demonstrate satisfactory performance characteristics to meet the intended application. The company has TBS certificates and are regularly submitting samples of their products to TBS for acceptance tests. These tests includes, Annealing test, conductor resistance test, test of thickness of insulation and sheath, tensile strength and elongation at break of insulation and sheath, insulation resistance test and High voltage test at room temperature. The company also carries two test in its factory, these are Routine test and Optional test. Routine test are tests on all finished cable length to demonstrate the integrity of cable the company manufacturers at their factory. These tests are conductor resistance test, high voltage test, insulation resistance test, amour wire resistance test, resistance of insulation to DC. In optional test, these special tests are to be carried out when required by customer. The tests are cold bend tests and cold impact tests.
Recommendation:
Multi-cable company manufacturers its cables in such a way that they put into consideration that operating voltage of a system may permanently exceed the nominal voltage of the system by 10 percent. The company also recommends that their cables are suitable for fixed protected installations, in lighting, fittings, inside appliances and industrial installation. The company’s products are monitored from wire drawing section to final dispatched with a back up support to its customers by their qualified technicians. The company’s application of insulation or sheath is applied that it fits closely on the conductor or cores and it is possible to remove it without damaging the conductors or cores.
