Company Description

In 1794 Rochester Cable began as a manufacturer of hemp ropes in Rochester, New York, serving maritime and industrial needs. As one of the oldest U.S. manufacturers, we’ve spent more than two centuries refining that manufacturing mindset. Over time, that same craftsmanship evolved into the engineering of advanced cable solutions — a tradition of performance that continues today.
