Coast Wire & Plastic Tech., Inc., is a leading designer and manufacturer of technologically advanced electronic wire and cable products for a variety of industries. Our manufacturing facility consists of a 60,000 sq. ft. building located in Carson, CA., which is approximately 15 minutes south of LAX (Los Angeles International Airport).
We have six extrusion lines which enable us to manufacture cables as small as .046" to almost 2" in diameter. Each of our extruders is equipped with an LED micrometer to ensure that the cable meets our customers' requirements from a dimensional standpoint and that it meets their electrical requirements as well. In addition to the LED micrometer, a spark tester is on each extrusion line to ensure the product's electrical integrity. We have three planetary cablers, as well as a variety of other types of cabling and twisting equipment. Our braiding department has of 14 braiders, which have a range of 30 AWG to 46 AWG.
Our established system and testing capabilities are your assurance of receiving products that, at minimum, meet or exceed industry standards. Quality starts in our receiving department where all raw materials are inspected to ensure that it's exactly what was ordered. Before we start the manufacturing process, a preliminary specification is sent to the customer for their approval. At this time they can change whatever they want on the specification and return it to us. We'll incorporate the change into a revised specification and the resent to the customer for their final approval. A shop order is prepared from the signed off specification and goes to the manufacturing plant. At each individual workstation, Quality Assurance looks over the setup and signs off on the shop order, thereby permitting the machine operator to start on the product. Once the initial operation is completed, it goes on to the next operation where Quality Assurance checks the setup and gives their approval. This is done throughout the manufacturing process. Once the cable is completed, it goes into final Quality Assurance where it's checked for it's electrical integrity, cosmetics, and color. Samples are taken from each reel and put under a video microscope and checked with a color spectrometer.
At coast we utilize a variety of insulating and jacketing compounds such as: PVC, Polyethylene, Polyurethane, Polyamide, Flourine-Ethylene-Propylene (FEP), Polyester, Polypropylene, PFA, Tefzel, Kynar, and Thermoplastic Rubber. FDA approved and medical grade approved compounds are also available at Coast.
Being in the custom wire and cable business requires the manufacture of prototypes of various runs (we've made 25 ft. of cable and 1 coil cord over a weekend for a customer). Our engineering staff is available at any time to discuss and assist you in the design of your product. We have no minimum billing or quantity at Coast and you'll never be charged an expedite fee for an improved delivery. We consider it our duty to assist our customers in any way that we can without charging them extra. All of this is dedicated to customer satisfaction. Our latest equipment to arrive at Coast is an FEP extruder as well as a vacuum-sizing tank. The vacuum-sizing tank enables Coast to manufacture a thermoplastic tube, which is attached to a cable via a very thin web. This is primarily for the medical electronic market but has unlimited uses, depending on your application.
What sets Coast apart from our competition in the entertainment and stage lighting industry is the fact that we manufacture the cable (i.e. Multicables - DMX Cables - Color Changer Cables - Custom Cables - Composite Cables - Speaker Cables - Audio Cables, etc.).
We purchase the copper, insulate, cable, shield and jacket it in our 60,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Carson, CA. We can make the outer jacket the color of your choosing and can imprint your company name and/or part number on the cable as well.
Coast Distribution Solutions has no minimum billing or quantity and you'll never be charged an "expedite charge".
In addition to our manufacturing bulk cable, we can also cut the cable to the length that you want it and add a variety of connectors to it (i.e. Spacecraft - Socapex - Veam - Bates - Rosco - Neutrik, etc.). If you like, you can supply you own connectors and we'll do the terminating for you. Our personnel in the entertainment division have been doing this for the past ten years - absolute quality guaranteed.
Coast Distribution Solutions can also provide you with two-fers, three-fers, break-ins, breakouts and snakes. Type SC entertainment cable is available from 4/0 to 6 AWG. We can twist this material for you in various lengths and add whatever type of connectors you desire. Portable cords are also available in type SO, SJO, SJOW, etc.Other entertainment and stage lighting products are available upon request.
