Wire & Cable Solutions for Commercial Vehicles

Engineered cable solutions supporting trucks, buses, vocational vehicles, and next-generation commercial transportation platforms.

Overview

High-Performance Cable for Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vehicles operate under demanding conditions where heat, vibration, abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and continuous duty can compromise conventional wire and cable. Champlain Cable engineers high-performance solutions designed to deliver reliable power, data, and signal transmission throughout the vehicle.

Our proprietary EXRAD® irradiation cross-linked materials, advanced data cable technology, and commercial vehicle engineering expertise support applications from powertrain and chassis systems to high-speed Ethernet and vehicle communications.

Featured Applications

  • Automotive Communications

    Automotive Ethernet and CAN Bus cable solutions designed for connected, autonomous, hybrid and electric vehicles.

  • Power Distribution

    Reliable high-voltage, high-temperature and low-voltage cable solutions engineered for electric vehicles, industrial equipment, energy storage systems, and mission-critical power applications.

  • Vehicle Systems

    Precision-engineered wire and cable designed for engine compartments, vehicle doors, chassis systems, and body electronics.

Why Champlain Cable

Engineering Solutions Beyond the Specification

Commercial vehicle cable must do more than meet an electrical specification. It must perform reliably through heat, vibration, abrasion, chemical exposure, tight routing, and years of demanding service.
Champlain Cable combines advanced polymer science, EXRAD® irradiation cross-linked materials, custom cable engineering, and extensive commercial vehicle experience to develop solutions around the complete application—not simply the cable specification.
