The modern manufacturing floor bears little resemblance to facilities of the past. Especially over the last decade, factory automation systems have evolved in complexity while becoming more compact. Sophisticated networks of interconnected machinery, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, actuators, and robotic systems are all increasingly common, even for smaller manufacturers and machine shops. It goes without saying, all of these complex machines and electronics systems require equally complex cable and wiring solutions. Therein lies the challenge for equipment manufacturers and integrators who must design and deploy increasingly compact automation solutions within tight spatial constraints. At Allwire, we understand that the […]

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a critical challenge for industrial control systems. Of course, it’s a problem that’s only exacerbated by the increasingly complex electrical environments we often work with in modern facilities and electrical installations. Nevertheless, from utility substations to renewable energy installations, maintaining signal integrity in control cables is essential for reliable operation. Below we discuss proven design techniques for reducing EMI in control wires, including shielding methods, twisting strategies, conductor selection, and ground referencing, along with how Allwire’s custom conduit solutions can provide an additional layer of protection. Naturally, achieving the most effective EMI protection in control cable […]

The global renewable energy sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, with solar and wind installations reaching record levels. In 2024, the United States generated more than 750,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity from solar and wind combined – a figure that has tripled in just the past decade.As renewable energy projects scale upward, the infrastructure supporting them must evolve accordingly. This includes the critical wire and cable systems that serve as the electrical arteries of solar farms, wind installations, and other renewable energy facilities.At Allwire, we have spent nearly six decades manufacturing quality custom cable and conduit solutions for utility, renewable energy, and […]

Deploying fiber optic networks is about more than just choosing the right cable to meet your data transmission specs. When it comes to ease of installation and long-term network protection, the fiber optic conduit you choose is just as important as the cables inside.Achieving fiber optic network integrity means preventing damaged cables, severed connections, and related problems before they arise. It also means keeping cables accessible and well-organized to facilitate future network upgrades or expansion. So you need a conduit which has the flexibility to accommodate complex pathways, the durability to prevent external damage, and the stability to resist weathering […]

Choosing the right cable conduit is a prerequisite if you want to achieve true reliability for your communication network. Properly specified conduit installs easier, prevents mechanical damage, and protects your cabling from environmental damage, all of which keep your network from unexpectedly going down in the future. Future scalability is also a concern for many of today’s communication cable installations. Clients want to be able to upgrade and/or expand their networks as technology develops and their businesses grow. Choosing the optimum communication conduit now eliminates headaches in the future by streamlining the process of upgrades or expansion. At Allwire, we […]

Cable-in-Conduit Systems: Faster Installations & Greater Reliability Installation of complex electrical systems is an extremely challenging and often time-consuming job. The wiring process itself can involve pulling miles of cables through a complex arrangement of protective pipes. Installers are often left struggling manually wiring conduit through tight corners and bends. The task is made even more difficult when installation issues arise, as it’s not uncommon for wires to snag internally, get stuck and/or damaged during the process. Allwire’s pre-installed cable-in-conduit solutions eliminate the risk of these extremely frustrating and potentially costly installation issues. Using durable yet flexible prewired conduit, there’s […]

Buried telecommunications cables and underground electrical infrastructure applications see some of the toughest conditions throughout the industry. Buried telecommunications cables and underground electrical infrastructure applications see some of the toughest conditions throughout the industry. You have to contend with huge temperature fluctuations, wet conditions, shifting soil, to name a few of the biggest challenges… That’s why selecting the right conduit material is critical to facilitate easier installation in potentially challenging terrain, as well as to keep your cabling protected from future damage and corrosion. At Allwire, we’ve found that high-density polyethylene (HDPE) electrical pipe and conduit has emerged as the […]

Choosing the Right Communication Cable Conduit for Your Network Needs The reliability and longevity of any communication network hinges on something often overlooked: the conduit that houses your cables. Whether you’re installing municipal fiber optics, running broadband infrastructure across potentially challenging terrain, or setting up communication lines in a commercial complex, the right conduit is critical to ensure smooth installation and long-term network reliability. At Allwire, we understand that the performance of your communication network starts with what’s beneath the surface. As one of the industry’s leading cable-in-conduit (CIC) providers, we’ve helped clients across the country navigate the complexities of […]

The demand for high-speed, high-bandwidth fiber optic cable connectivity continues to grow across the nation – for commercial enterprises as well as for municipal and residential infrastructures. For fiber optic cable installers and project planners, the importance of selecting the right fiber optic conduit cannot be overstated.
