WHITNEY BLAKE
STOCK KOILED
KORDS:
In-stock or custom
designed, design
engineers specify Koiled
Kords™ for almost any
application.
When the world goes
shopping for stock cords,
Whitney Blake delivers.
The pulse of the world’s
cable market can be
measured by Whitney
Blake’s Koiled Kord
business. Koiled Kord
has become a known
brand name throughout
the entire wire and
cable industry as the
cord of choice for a
myriad of applications.
Whether you are
manufacturing or are an
OEM of cable products,
our in-stock Koiled Kords
deliver product
consistency and reliability
right off the shelf.
In-stock cords are being
used in computers, bar
code readers, medical
equipment, material
handling equipment,
production line tools,
virtually all types of
commercial vehicles,
and in a wide variety
of instrumentation
and testing devices
throughout many markets.
Imagine an application…
we just might have an
in-stock Koiled Kord
waiting for it. If we don’t,
we can custom build to

Your success is our success.
For us, making the connection means connecting with our customers’ needs.

Koiled Kords™

Responding to our customers’ desires for single sourcing complete cable products,
Whitney Blake offers complete cable assembly from design to finished product.

keep your products

moving.

Over-mold and compression molded connections are available.
Whitney Blake design engineers are with you throughout the entire cable design process
to assure your cable assembly products perform to your specifications and beyond.

On-site testing assures certification to military and agency performance specifications.
Flex testing, coiled cord extension life, cable flame resistance, various electrical tests including
characteristic impedance, coax attenuation, DC resistance, insulation resistance, high voltage,
electrostatic resistance, accelerated life tests, salt fog resistance, physical properties of materials,
sub-zero and high temperature material performance, ozone and oxidation testing, advanced
circuit analyzers and lab rheometers are examples of our quality assurance capabilities.

Connecting with our customers’ needs also means providing the widest range of capabilities in both
materials and manufacturing in order to offer complete design to finished product possibilities.

Today’s markets demand that a supplier have an organizational culture which
responds to customer needs, not only out of necessity, but also out of a desire
to work in partnership with them to accomplish their goals.

Whitney Blake has not had to change with respect to these needs.
Our original business philosophy still works as well as it did over a century ago…customer first.
