Solutions
Solution by Industry >> Communication
From simplifying wiring in cable boxes to sealing GPS units,
Custom Rubber Corp. is developing and manufacturing products counted
on by the communications industry. As in other areas, we may be part
of Early Supplier Involvement, helping in the development of new products.
In other cases, it's our responsiveness to fast turnarounds or
last-minute needs that sets us apart.
Custom Rubber Corp.'s expertise in seal design helped one customer
perfect fiber optic cable conduit joints. In another case, Custom Rubber
Corp. prototyped and is now producing rubber vibration-control supports
for fiber optic cables.
Custom Rubber Corp.'s parts have also helped solve sealing and protection
issues within one customer's line of communication equipment for
hazardous environments. Our customers are constantly developing new products,
and we have been helping with prototypes and design suggestions.

Overhead Unit Needs Rubber Expansion
Our original product for broadband over power lines (BPL) involved
making a rubber lining to absorb the differing expansion and contraction
rates of the magnetic material and the insulating covering. The specially
formulated rubber compound does not interfere with the electronic workings
of the unit, but has enough thickness and cusion to absorb the changing
gap distance between the components when the weather changes.
The development of the material was done quickly with the help of
a few of Custom Rubber Corp.'s strategic partners to identify the right
level of conductivity and compression/expansion. Since this first product,
Custom Rubber Corp. has continued to assist in later versions of the
BPL solution.

Custom Rubber cuts turnaround time from 5 weeks to 6 days
When a manufacturer faced a five-week turnaround time from its regular supplier
on a last-minute rush order, they called us. In just six days, we had the
molds and were shipping product. Custom Rubber Corp. is now that company's
key rubber supplier for a full line of products.
ESI development speeds GPS end product
Custom Rubber Corp. was part of the Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) for
one of the first GPS systems created by a major electronics maker. Weekly
meetings with the full design team helped us custom develop a rubber seal
the connected pieces of the housing and provided a protective “bumper” from
rough handling.
Cable box custom-component streamlines installation
To make it easier to correctly thread the bundles of cables into a cable
box, Custom Rubber Corp. assisted with the design for an adhesive-backed
rubber strip that fits over the large holes in the bottom of a cable box
and subdivided them into easily identifiable pass-throughs for each cable.
Our star-shaped holes also limit contamination inside the box.
