Telecoms
Telecommunications equipment faces extreme challenges – from roadside cabinets enduring weather extremes to data centre components managing intense thermal loads. At Cranfield Group, we manufacture components that ensure reliable connectivity regardless of environmental conditions. Our expertise spans indoor precision components to outdoor infrastructure built to last decades.
Our combined capabilities from Cranfield Solutions and Webb Injection Moulders provide both the technical expertise for complex assemblies and the production capacity for network rollouts. We take ownership of your complete component requirements, from materials that withstand UV exposure and temperature cycling through to logistics that support your installation schedules across multiple sites.

Planning your next network infrastructure project? Our technical team understands telecommunications requirements and can develop components that perform reliably for decades.
Common Telecommunications Applications
Our telecommunications expertise covers the entire network infrastructure. We manufacture weatherproof enclosures that protect active equipment at cell sites, including base station housings, equipment cabinets, and cable management systems designed to withstand decades of outdoor exposure. These components incorporate complex features like EMC gaskets, pressure equalisation vents, and secure locking mechanisms.
Inside data centres and equipment rooms, we produce precision components including fibre optic cassettes, rack-mount bezels, and cooling system components. Our cable management solutions range from simple clips to complex ducting systems that organise the vast cabling required in modern telecommunications. Every component reflects our understanding that network downtime isn’t an option – reliability is built into every design decision.
