5 Signs Your Control Cables Need Replacing

About: Mark Middleton — Founder, Industrial & Cable Group Mark Middleton is the founder of Industrial & Cable Group, an Australian-owned and operated supplier of motion control cables, controls, and accessories for industrial and marine applications. Industrial & Cable Group is a sister company to Multiflex Australia, a long-standing manufacturer in the cable and motion control space, and draws on that same manufacturing heritage and product knowledge. Mark brings more than two decades of hands-on experience in the cable and motion control trade, with a background rooted in the manufacturing side of the industry — knowledge gained from actually producing this componentry, not just selling it. Industrial & Cable Group was launched to make that same manufacturing-grade product more accessible to the wider Australian and New Zealand market, with a 24/7 online service built around quality, fast turnaround, and straightforward access to the right parts. Mark's guiding principle for the business is simple: idle machinery doesn't turn a profit. Drawing on real-world experience specifying, manufacturing, and troubleshooting cable and control systems, Mark's articles are written to give tradespeople and engineers practical, field-tested guidance — not generic theory — across trucking, transport, mining, earthmoving, construction, marine, agriculture, and motor racing applications.
