ATEX-compatible oil & gas cable assemblies and heavy-duty, mud-resistant harnesses

Cable Assemblies Built for Oil & Gas

Energy installations operate under some of the harshest conditions. Oil & gas cable assemblies must maintain continuous signal and power integrity despite extreme pressure, severe mechanical abrasion, explosive gas atmospheres, and aggressive chemical exposure.

Flair Electronics manufactures custom oil and gas cabling assemblies engineered for total operational survival through:

  • Mud & Chemical Resistance: Jacketing materials (NEK 606 compliant, SHF2, and cross-linked polymers) built to resist drilling fluids, hydrocarbons, ester-based muds, and salt spray.
  • Fire Safety & Low Toxicity: Halogen-free, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), and fire-resistant construction options designed to maintain circuit integrity during emergency shutdowns and restrict toxic gas emission.
  • Mechanical Strength & Extreme Durability: Heavy-duty braided armouring (galvanised steel or tinned copper), thick-walled outer jackets, and heavy strain reliefs engineered for continuous vibration and dynamic mechanical stress.
  • Hazardous Area Sealing (IP67/IP68): Precision termination incorporating potted backshells, explosion-proof glands, and overmoulded connectors built to maintain liquid/gas tightness under high pressure.

Our Oil & Gas Cabling Capabilities

  • Offshore Platform & Rig Wiring Looms: Ruggedised multi-core power, control, and instrumentation cabling for topside modules, drilling consoles, and marine power systems.
  • Refinery & Petrochemical Control Assemblies: Heavy-duty, shielded cable harnesses for hazardous zone instrumentation, sensor networks, and automated process valve control.
  • ATEX / IECEx Compatible Connector Assemblies: Precision micro-termination incorporating explosion-proof circular connectors, heavy-duty industrial plugs, and armoured gland terminations.
  • Subsea & Umbilical Cable Harnesses: Water-blocked, pressure-resistant sub-assemblies engineered for subsea monitoring equipment, ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), and benthic sensors.
  • Ruggedised Box Build & Enclosures: Complete integration of heavy-duty cable harnesses into junction boxes, control panels, and field-deployable enclosures.

UK Engineering & European Scale

  • Flair Electronics provides energy OEMs, system integrators, and offshore contractors with a flexible supply chain strategy balancing rapid agility with volume production:

    UK Facility (Hitchin): Engineering Support & NPI

    • Rapid-turn prototyping and New Product Introduction (NPI) for urgent rig maintenance or custom builds.
    • Direct technical assistance for schematic review, harsh-environment material selection, and DFM optimization.
    • Dedicated capability for low-volume, high-mix custom equipment projects.

    European Facilities: Volume Production

    • Scaled manufacturing capacity for scheduled, high-volume equipment and skid production lines.
    • Established inventory management solutions including buffer stock holding.
    • Direct transfer of validated designs from UK engineering lines to European volume production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you supply cable assemblies compliant with NEK 606 mud resistance standards?

  • A: Yes. We source specialised NEK 606 compliant cables and jacketing materials specifically designed to withstand drilling muds, oils, and harsh marine environments.

Q: Do you assemble cabling for use in ATEX / hazardous area equipment?

  • A: Yes. We manufacture assemblies designed to integrate seamlessly into ATEX/IECEx certified equipment, utilising explosion-proof connectors, sealed backshells, and certified glands.

Q: What testing is performed on heavy-duty oil & gas cable harnesses?

  • A: All builds undergo 100% automated electrical testing, including high-voltage Hi-Pot testing, continuity testing, and insulation resistance verification prior to dispatch.
