Sedgewall wins cable contract
Installation of numerous new green street cabinets began last month after Dunstable manufacturer, Sedgewall Communications, supplied bespoke cabling to Milton Keynes-based CTDI.
The cabling is an important component in the cabinets that are part of a new fibre optic internet project being rolled out around the country.
The sale comes as part of CTDI’s Project ECI Street Cabinet that will eventually see a huge increase in the number of green cabinets that carry fibre optic internet and telephone signals to homes.
Sedgewall landed the tender by outbidding other cable suppliers. Sales account manager Steve Whitney commented: “Sedgewall’s extensive knowledge and expertise was essential in advising the customer fully on the variety and lengths of cable required for the job. Ensuring the materials are prepared and stripped to meet the customer’s needs is all part of our service and we hope to be able to work with this customer again in the future. It is quite an achievement to think that we have the ability to supply the cable for every telecoms cabinet in the UK.”
This quarter alone sees CTDI needing to satisfy an order for 3000 finished cabinets. Each cabinet contains an intricate series of cables supplied in two bespoke connection combinations. They will go through a rigorous series of tests and checks at CTDI’s premises before being dispatched for commissioning on site.
