Engineering Capabilities – Overcoming Limits, Creating Solutions
- ISO certified
- Made in Germany
With a wide range of sizes, shapes, and materials, we develop special cables that are perfectly tailored to your requirements. Our expertise ranges from extremely small cross-sections to complex cable constructions with multifunctional properties. Through innovative manufacturing techniques, customised solutions, and the support of our in-house laboratory, we successfully implement even the most demanding projects.
Our Promise
At Kabel Sterner, technical feasibility stands for the highest quality, precision, and reliability. Our cables are manufactured from first-class materials, all of which are RoHS compliant. They are specifically designed to function optimally even under demanding conditions.
Depending on the cable design and material, we guarantee temperature resistance from -60 °C to +125 °C – and up to 200 °C for special applications with FEP.
Whether it’s mechanical resilience, chemical resistance, or long-term durability: our cables meet strict standards at every stage of production. Additionally, we can manufacture cables in almost any desired shape – whether oval, square, star-shaped, or mushroom-shaped. This allows us to provide individual solutions that perfectly adapt to your requirements.
