CEI is an Approved OEM Hardware Manufacturer for Cisco Systems
CISCO Smart Serial, Router and Octal Cables
CEI's Cisco OEM Equivalent cables offer the same exceptional quality for a fraction of the cost. Our cables are available in custom and standard lengths. Cisco equivalent cables are manufactured to the original OEM specifications.
Patch Panel Capabilities
Components Express, Inc. has provided many economical solutions to customers who utilize complex cable assemblies by designing custom patch panels to replace excessive cabling "spaghetti." You get manageability, reliability, savings and space through the compact design of our 1 RU (rack unit) networking panels. Our patented patch panels utilize the latest technology and are engineered to the highest standards.
CEI offers commodity cables and custom variations on every line. Our specialty is working with OEM engineers to create solutions never thought possible.
Our cables are cut, measured and stripped to a +/-.015" tolerance using CNC equipment. (Tighter tolerances are available.) NASA 8739.4 standard is utilized to provide aerospace quality to every application. All cables are electrically tested for continuity, polarity and resistance. Soldering is performed on our wave solder equipment, certified to NASA Standard 8739.3. We measure each contact during setup to ensure proper crimp dimensions. Our cables must pass a minimum pull test greater or equal to 80% of the tensile strength of the wire. We stock thousands of different connectors and cables for your custom application. Coil cables are available as terminated and non-terminated assemblies.
