Custom UK-made power cables and cable assemblies for manufacturers, equipment suppliers and OEMs.
If you need a reliable power lead to supply with your own product, MotorCables can manufacture cable assemblies around your requirements. From connector type and cable length to cable specification, colour and physical fit, we can develop a repeatable cable solution that becomes part of your finished product.
Whether you need an initial production run or an ongoing supply of identical assemblies, HDIUK Ltd can become the UK cable manufacturer behind your product.
Discuss Your Cable Requirement
The power cable supplied with your equipment is part of the finished product your customer receives. Using a generic off-the-shelf lead is not always the best solution.
MotorCables can manufacture an assembly around the actual requirements of your equipment, considering not only the electrical connection but also practical factors such as cable length, flexibility, connector dimensions, installation environment and appearance.
Specific plug and socket combinations
UK 13A fused plugs
CEE industrial plugs and sockets
IEC connectors
Custom cable lengths
Different conductor sizes and cable specifications
Indoor and outdoor applications
Specific cable and connector colours where available
Compact connector arrangements where installation space is limited
Repeat manufacture to an agreed specification
Initial production runs and ongoing volume requirements
One example of this service is a UK-made 5 metre 13A plug to 16A CEE blue socket fly lead developed to accompany solar equipment.
The requirement went beyond simply connecting a UK socket to a 16A CEE connection. The cable needed to work properly as part of the complete installation.
A compact moulded 13A plug and strain-relief arrangement allows the plug to fit within the outdoor socket arrangement used for the application. The cable and connector appearance also complements the equipment with which the lead is supplied.
The result is a repeatable UK-manufactured cable assembly that can be supplied with each system, giving the end customer the correct power lead without requiring them to source one separately.

Another common requirement is for manufacturers who need a reliable power cable to supply with their own equipment. For example, a company manufacturing monitors, printers, computers, laboratory equipment or other appliances using an IEC C13 connection may want to include a consistent, high-quality UK-made mains lead with every product it sells. MotorCables can manufacture ASTA-approved UK plug to IEC C13 appliance cables in the required specification and quantity, providing a dependable UK-manufactured cable that can become a standard component supplied with every unit. This gives manufacturers an alternative to sourcing generic imported appliance leads while providing their customers with a professionally manufactured cable from a consistent UK supplier.

Any colour or configuration. Another example are our Figure-8 two pin appliance cable, demonstrating how we can manufacture different cable and connector configurations to suit the equipment they will be supplied with.Any colour or configuration. The best part is, our cable manufacturing takes place here in the United Kingdom.
This is where our manufacturing service differs from simply buying a cable from stock.
If you manufacture, assemble, import or supply equipment that requires a particular power connection, we can establish an agreed cable specification for that product.
You can then include the correct cable with every unit you supply.
This can provide a more professional solution for your customer while giving you a consistent cable specification and a UK supplier you can deal with directly.

Tell us what you are manufacturing or supplying, what it needs to connect to and the electrical requirements. If you already know the required connectors, cable type and length, include those too.
We consider the assembly as a complete product. This can include connector type, current and voltage requirements, cable specification, physical dimensions, flexibility, installation environment and other practical considerations.
Once the configuration has been established, we can agree a repeatable specification for your cable assembly.
The cable assemblies are manufactured in the UK by HDIUK Ltd to the agreed configuration.
Once your cable has been established, subsequent batches can be manufactured to the same specification, giving you a consistent component to supply with your equipment.
You do not necessarily need thousands of cables to justify having an assembly manufactured for your product.
A requirement might begin with 25, 50 or 100 assemblies and develop into regular production as your own sales increase.
This makes UK manufacture particularly useful for specialist equipment manufacturers, growing businesses and products where very large overseas minimum order quantities are impractical.
Equally, where a cable becomes a standard component supplied with every unit you sell, we can discuss regular repeat production requirements.
Your product does not have to use a 2 metre cable simply because 2 metres happens to be a common retail length.
If the ideal cable for your equipment needs to be 1.5 metres, 3 metres, 5 metres, 7.5 metres or another specific length, we can manufacture around the application where the cable and components permit.
This allows the cable to be specified as part of the equipment rather than forcing the equipment to accommodate a generic lead.
We can work with either.
If you already have a cable supplied with your equipment, send us its specification, photographs or a sample and explain what you need.
If you are developing a new product, contact us during the development process. We can discuss the power cable requirements before the final assembly is established.
You do not necessarily need a completed technical drawing or bill of materials before speaking to us.
Working directly with a UK manufacturer gives equipment suppliers the opportunity to discuss the actual application rather than simply selecting the nearest available cable from a catalogue.
It also provides a direct route for discussing specification changes, repeat requirements and unusual applications.
For specialist products and relatively modest production quantities, UK manufacturing can make a bespoke or semi-bespoke cable assembly practical without committing to the very large quantities often associated with overseas custom production.
If you manufacture or supply equipment and need a power cable to accompany it, contact MotorCables with your requirements.
Useful information includes:
The equipment or application
Required plug or input connector
Required socket or output connector
Voltage
Maximum current
Required cable length
Preferred cable type or conductor size, if known
Indoor or outdoor use
Expected initial quantity
Estimated ongoing requirement
Any dimensional, colour or installation constraints
Photographs, drawings, specifications and examples of an existing cable are also welcome.
Discuss a UK Cable Manufacturing Requirement
Yes. We can manufacture an agreed cable assembly for you to include with equipment or products supplied to your own customers.
Yes, subject to component availability, electrical requirements and the suitability of the proposed assembly. Tell us the required connectors, cable specification, length, application and expected quantity and we can review the requirement.
No. We can discuss smaller specialist production runs as well as regular and higher-volume requirements. This can be particularly useful when launching a new product or establishing demand.
Potentially. If you already use a particular cable assembly, send us its specification, photographs or a sample. We can review the requirement and discuss manufacturing a suitable equivalent.
Yes. If you know the electrical and practical requirements but have not finalised the cable assembly, contact us with details of the application so we can discuss suitable options.
Yes. Where the cable and components permit, an assembly can be manufactured around the length required by the application rather than being restricted to common retail lengths.
Yes, where appropriate components are available. Cable colour, connector colour, physical dimensions and installation constraints can all be considered when developing an assembly.
Yes. Our UK-made cable assemblies are manufactured by HDIUK Ltd in the United Kingdom.
