Cables Unlimited - Not only a cable manufacturer, but a VAD too! Just what exactly is a VAD? A VAD is a "Value Added Distributor". Lets face it; there are many choices you can make when buying your computer cables, accessories and peripheral products. Let's take a quick look at how Cables Unlimited can add value to your purchasing.

We offer three levels of pricing on all stocked product. Silver Pricing is our opening price level and is established for all customers who spend less than $10,000 per year. Gold level pricing is the next tier, offered to all customers who spend between $10,000 and $30,000 annually. Platinum is our best price level, reserved for all customers who spend $30,000 and above annually. Additionally, larger bulk-packaged orders are often negotiated to give you the best possible pricing.

Almost all orders ship within 24 hours, and thanks to our tight relationships with Airborne Express, UPS and Federal Express, your product will generally land within 3 business days, even on the East Coast - yet you are never charged more than ground rates. Larger, palletized orders may be shipped via LTL carriers and take 1 or 2 days longer to arrive, and all orders of $1000 or more are shipped freight prepaid, anywhere within the continental United States.

Whether you are an OEM, VAR, Retailer, Network Installer or Regional Cable Distributor, Cables Unlimited is designed with your convenience in mind.

OEM
As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), you do not want to leave your cable buying to chance. Cables Unlimited has the production capabilities and support staff necessary to handle the most intricate cable work. First and foremost, all cables and wire harnesses are built either in our ISO 9002 factory located in Suzhou, China (just outside of Shanghai), or domestically in our Concord or Fremont, California locations. Most of the larger production runs will be manufactured in China, with many of the smaller quick-turn production runs built in California. While many of our competitors rely solely on offshore engineering help, Cables Unlimited has full engineering support in California. We employ a multi-step RFQ process to ensure quality custom cables are built to your satisfaction every time.

Often overlooked, a single cable has been known to shut down many production lines and delay shipment of multi-million dollar system sales. Our qualified OEM team will help to ensure that these situations never arise when you purchase your custom cable assemblies and wire harnesses from Cables Unlimited. Our success is based upon quick, reliable service and quality, competitively priced cables. Your success is based upon picking suppliers that you can count on. Together we will make a great team.

VAR
Whether your business relies on SCSI 3, ATA 100, Fiber Optic, Fibre Channel or Gigabit Ethernet based solutions to keep pace with the ever-increasing need for speed, bandwidth and storage, Cables Unlimited continually strives to be on the cutting edge of cabling technology to service all of your needs. Our stocked inventory includes external Madison SCSI cables, internal Ultra 160 cables, and Teflon coated ATA 100 cables. We are also a leading distributor of fiber optic cables utilizing ST, SC, MTRJ, and LC connectors on singlemode, multimode, duplex and simplex patch cords. Gigabit Ethernet solutions can also be achieved with our enhanced Category 5, Category 6, and MediaTwist cables and patch cords. We additionally stock Fibre Channel, IEEE 1394 Firewire, and USB 2.0 cables to ensure that you are able to provide your customers with the cabling solution that they desire.

Retailers
As a computer retailer, you would like a vendor to stock everything you need, ship the same day, have competitive pricing, attractive retail packaging, UPC barcoding and have an easy and flexible return policy. Well, Cables Unlimited has positioned itself as an industry leader in these areas. We try to put it all under one roof, becoming "Your One Stop Cable & Accessory Shop", thereby minimizing your number of vendors and maximizing your efficiency. We have become the vendor of choice to thousands of retailers nationwide because we try very hard to be one step ahead of the competition, delivering to you the products and services you desire most.

We offer three different colors of retail packaging: our trademark green and gold, generic red, and alternative blue and purple. This packaging is offered in either a hard plastic "blister-pack", or folding header card. The blister package is our premium packaging alternative, however header cards are ideal if you would like to maximize products with limited space. Beyond that, your packaging options are poly bag with label, or pure bulk with no labels. All labeled product is UPC barcoded for your convenience. We also offer re-order cards, gridwall displays, suggested stock order forms, and personalized spreadsheets to make your ordering organized and easy.

Beyond a full line of cables for PC, Mac and House-Brand computers, Cables Unlimited offers a huge range of peripheral and accessory products. We have partnered up with many quality vendors to greatly enhance your selection and allow you to more easily achieve free freight on all orders of $1000 or more. You can purchase UPS's, network hardware, fans, batteries, ergonomic accessories, input devices, cases, rackmount chassis and accessories, removable racks, multimedia speakers, power supplies, KVM's, USB and Firewire hubs, and I/O cards from Cables Unlimited. We strive to stock only quality products from solid suppliers - delivering to you the most in value and convenience.

We also offer custom labels and custom designed packaging for our larger retailers. Additionally we can produce custom logo mouse pads to further help you brand and advertise your company name and logo.
