Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is a cable seal?

A cable seal is a security device made of a flexible wire cable and a locking mechanism. It is used to secure and seal containers, trucks, and other cargo to prevent tampering and unauthorised access. Cable seals are commonly used in industries such as shipping, logistics, and transportation.

What is the purpose of a wire seal?

The purpose of a wire seal is to provide tamper-evident security for containers, trucks, and other cargo. Wire seals are designed to show visible signs of tampering if unauthorised access is attempted; in particular, the wire cable will 'splay' or unravel once cut, making re-insertion impossible and tampering obvious. They are used to ensure the integrity and safety of goods during transportation and storage.

What are High-Security Cable Seals?

High-security cable seals are robust security devices used to secure shipping containers, trucks, and other cargo. They are designed to prevent tampering and unauthorised access, providing a reliable barrier against theft. High-security versions of these seals comply with ISO17712 standards and are often used in international shipping to ensure cargo safety and security.

What are the benefits of using high-security cable seals?

High-security cable seals offer numerous benefits, including enhanced protection against theft and tampering, compliance with international security standards like ISO17712, and compatibility with C-TPAT requirements. They provide a visible deterrent to unauthorised access and ensure the safe transit of valuable goods. Additionally, these seals are versatile and can be used across various industries, including shipping, logistics, and petrochemical sectors.
