Manufacture of wiring and wiring devices

NACE v2.0 Code: C27.3

About manufacture of wiring and wiring devices

NACE code 27.3 covers the manufacture of wiring and wiring devices, a critical component of the broader electrical equipment industry. This sector plays a vital role in the production of essential infrastructure, machinery, and consumer electronics, making it a key contributor to the overall economy. The manufacture of wiring and wiring devices encompasses a range of specialized products, from power cables and control panels to switches and sockets, all of which are integral to the functioning of modern electrical systems.

Production process

The production of wiring and wiring devices typically involves a combination of metalworking, plastics processing, and assembly techniques. Manufacturers often start with raw materials such as copper, aluminum, or various polymers, which are then shaped, coated, and assembled into the final products. Common processes include wire drawing, extrusion, injection molding, and automated assembly lines to ensure consistent quality and efficiency.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the manufacture of wiring and wiring devices include metals (copper, aluminum, etc.), plastics (polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, etc.), and various other materials such as rubber, insulation, and fasteners. Specialized machinery, such as wire-drawing equipment, extruders, and injection molding machines, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including electrical engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, to design, manufacture, and assemble the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the wiring and wiring devices manufacturing industry are a wide range of electrical components, including power cables, control cables, extension cords, switches, sockets, and other wiring accessories. These products are then consumed by various other NACE codes, such as 27.1 Manufacture of electronic components and boards, 27.2 Manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment, and 28.1 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery, which incorporate them into their own manufacturing processes or final products.
