The demands of the modern process technology and microprocessors based instrumentation calls for high standards in precision cables. Our focus is always on customer's satisfaction. To fulfill this objective, every effort, resource and skill is put in to design and manufacture.

Our Quality Policy. To achieve excellence in quality of products and services, customer satisfaction, enhancement of technology and techniques.

Quality Assurance. We have a full-fledged testing laboratory. We conduct routine, type and acceptance tests as per TBS standards. KILIMANJARO CABLES (T) LTD. has thus established itself as a brand name which symbolizes Reliability & Quality. Our cables are licensed to carry TBS mark.

Standards. Our cables are designed and manufactured confirming to various National and International standards including TBS standard.

Raw Materials. To reduce dependency on external sources and maintain consistency in Quality and Expediency of material, we have in-house wire drawing, PVC compounding facilities.

AFRICAB FR WIRES

AFRICAB-FR wires are extensively used in residential and commercial buildings for power distribution. They are used in metal/plastic conduits either embedded in plaster (concealed wiring) or fixed on the walls.

FR PVC is a widely accepted insulating material for building wires due to its better abrasive and chemical resistance, weatherproof and electrical properties.

Fire retardant properties of insulating materials is measured by its Oxygen Index. The Oxygen Index of normal PVC is about 25% while that of our cables is greater than 29%. Temperature index is greater than 250 C.
