History

Leading Wire and Cable Markets With Innovation and Global Strength
Although Draka Cableteq USA was established in its present form in 1988, the pioneering innovations and milestones of Draka companies date back to the beginning of the twentieth century.

From the first "Magneto" cable for automobiles in 1906 to power cables for a 150,000-volt electron beam welding machine to today's Lifeline^TM 2-hour fire rated cables that protect critical circuits, our innovative wire and cable solutions have made a difference throughout a wide range of markets, including: commercial, industrial, defense, utility, fire protection, transportation, and reservoir management.
