2. How 1X Technologies became your valued Wire and Cable Manufacturer and
you didn't even know it
Have you ever been in a grocery store like Target or Whole Foods trying to make a
decision on which item you want to buy, and in your head you are mulling out the costs
and benefits of each item? As you’re price shopping and comparing you may notice that
the store brand product offers more benefits than the lower priced competitors while
costing less than the premium brands.
But a store brand couldn't be better than a premium brand, could it?
You decide to buy one of each to test them out for your future shopping trips.
When you get home you are delightfully surprised when you find out that the store
brand is actually as good or better than the premium brand and it was a good chunk of
change less.
The interesting fact that not many people know is even that premium brand who is
advertised and perceived as being much better than their competitors is sourcing their
manufacturing out to factories who use their designs to build the brands proprietary
products. So when we see Wal-Mart (Great Value) or Target (Up & Up) branded
products the stores are essentially doing exactly the same thing as those “premium
brands” are in making the products.
This practice of “Store Brands” is actually called Private Labeling. The item that you
bought that was as good or better than the premium brand may actually be manufactured
by the same factory that manufactures the premium brand products you were testing
them against!
The Electrical Cable Manufacturing Industry is no different than the consumer goods
manufacturing industry.
Large companies who sell hundreds or thousands of products that are either produced at
their own facility or sourced out to partner contract manufacturing agreements just like
Whole Foods or Target does with their store brand goods.
Typically an Electrical Wire & Cable manufacturer will keep their most popular
products in house and source their more complicated products or orders that are going to
hold up a production line to one of their partner facilities.
It doesn't make sense for them to stop a line that produces hundreds of thousands of feet
of building wire to set it up for a custom cable that only needs a few thousands feet or
less.
This is where 1X Technologies steps in to help
When a large manufacturing company needs a high quality, specialized cable
constructed quickly they often turn to 1X as their trusted partner.
When Wal-Mart wants to reverse engineer a product to make their Great Value brand
item just like a premium brand competitor they have to have that engineering work done
somewhere, and typically have to source the engineering to a different company than
the factory who is making the product.

3. When a Wire & Cable manufacturer needs this done they just tell 1X what they would
like the cable to do, and we design a product to meet their specification, and exceed
their expectations.
1X Technologies Wires and Cables have been performing under harsh environmental
tests of Oil & Gas, Mining, Space Exploration where the products are exposed high heat
and potentially corrosive substances regularly.
1X Produces custom harnesses and specialty cables for critical environments in data
centers where Google, Facebook, Twitter, and the lot of the worlds social media
companies hold their information.
Our Cables are trusted to perform, and while they don’t always say 1X on the jacket, we
are proud to support our partner organizations engineering and manufacturing needs.
This is how 1X Technologies has been your valued Custom and Specialty Cable
manufacturer and you didn’t even know it!
How Private Labeling Helped 1X
While offering Private labeled manufacturing has let 1X help our partners by helping
them obtain and fill orders, Private Labeling has also helped 1X Technologies.
We have grown our relationships with our partner manufacturers, helping us to build
our Master Distribution division to rival anyone in the industry when it comes to stock
on hard to find specialty cables.
When a popular factory has surplus of one of their items 1X is often able to purchase
from them at a discounted price and put the item into our stock for resale, or for use to
OEM other specialized products. In a recent case we had our distributor customer
come to us looking for a Belden item that needed a custom colored armor, to be
special lengths, and had to have the cable glands already applied. Luckily we had
the Belden item in stock that we bought surplus, and were able to design and
build the special armored cable product in just 1 week, and our customer had the
product delivered to their contractor’s job site just 8 days after ordering.
At 1X we take pride in finding the right solution for our customer, even if it means
using another company’s product to manufacture that solution!
Non Traditional Methods
The Electrical Manufacturing industry, and the Energy industry in general is one that is
steeped in tradition. The Baby boomer generation is in control of much of what happens
on the regular, and for many of them that means doing business on a flip phone with
large numbers, or only checking email in the evenings from a desktop computer.
At 1X we respect that tradition that has brought our industry to the place we are in
today, but we are set up to do business in non traditional methods. What does this
mean?
We know our Gen X and Millenial customers find value in working with a partner who
is quick to respond on platforms that are outside the realm of most industrial companies.
We get requests through the 1X Technologies Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages,
and we respond quickly. We know how valuable this is to our customers who are on
their iPhone or Android devices in the field who have an idea on their brain and need to
act quickly. We don’t need to design a special app for our customers, we already them

4. in the places they spend most of their time on social media. It makes doing business
easier, and makes the problem solving process much faster!

Custom Composite Cable
• Custom composite cables are the best way to integrate all of your wiring needs for
different applications based in common locations. Combining different types of wire
and cable within the same jacket not only speeds up installations and eliminates the
guess work in installation, but it also reduces pulling stress on the wire cutting down
on costly installation errors. 1X has the ability to give you the custom coloring of
each conductor, striping, and printing capabilities to help improve
installation.Custom Composite cables save on total project costs through the
quicker, easier, installation of one cost efficient cable.
Custom Solar & Renewable Energy Cables
• Typical Photovoltaic (PV) Wire is a PV listed UL 4703 and is either rated for 1000
Volts or 2000 Volts. The size most used is #10 AWG. So what about this is custom?
1X Manufactures solar photovoltaic wire and cables in large sizes like 500 MCM,
750 MCM, and 1000 MCM! While the typical Solar PV cables are black, 1X
manufactures colored PV wire and cable! Another option for your custom solar PV
wire is to have it double jacketed, helping it with additional heat resistance.
Speaking of heat… If you have a critical solar project that needs high heat rated PV
cable 1X manufactures cables rated over 1000 degrees celsius that will do the job!
When you’ve run out of options with your regular vendors give 1X a call for your
custom renewable energy wire and cable.
• 1X solar cables and photovoltaic wire are designed for the harsh environments of
solar energy applications-the hot and cold of climate extremes, ozone and UV
radiation, moisture, oil and direct burial. The cables use a specially formulated PVC
jacket that can withstand the potential environments without failing or degrading.
Available in a wire range from 14 to 2 AWG, the photovoltaic wires come in two
versions to meet either UL 4703 PV wire/TUV Pfg 1169 requirements or UL 4703
PV wire requirements. UL 4703 PV wire/TUV photovoltaic wires are made with
low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) materials which do not emit toxic gases when
burned. The UL PV wire products use a cross-linked polyethylene insulation and
PVC jacket. Solar cables, in sizes from 18 to 12 AWG and conductor counts from 3
to 9, are available shielded or unshielded. The TC-ER and MTW-rated cables have
an abrasion-resistant jacket. Both the PV wire and solar cable are designed
specifically for solar environments-they are sunlight and oil resistant and withstand
temperatures from -40 to +90C. The solar cables meet requirements for direct burial
without conduit.

9. Hard to find, and Non Stock Cable Sizes
• Large factories can not afford to shut down their lines to manufacture odd cable
sizes unless the customer buys a large minimum run of 10,000 to 20,000 feet. 1X is
a great secondary source to brands like Southwire, Coleman Cable, General Cable,
Nexans, AmerCable, RSCC, Philatron, Prysmian, Belden, Encore, United Copper,
Service Wire and more for your non stock cable sizes. 1X manufactures 2500
MCM, 2000 MCM, 1500 MCM, 1000 MCM, 900 MCM, 800 MCM, 700 MCM,
600 MCM, 400 MCM, 26 AWG, 28 AWG, 34 AWG, and many of these sizes only
require a small 500 or 1000 foot minimum run to make. 1X will make you what you
need, and have it on the job fast if we don’t already have what you need in stock.
