Northwire CoilBoss™ Retractile Cable Helps Support the Effectiveness of Ignition Interlock Devices

CST, located in Des Moines, IA is a leading producer of vehicle ignition interlocking devices. They had been using consumer grade cable assemblies to connect the sensing unit to the car’s electrical system. The unit’s purpose is to disallow a vehicle from starting if the sensing unit detects alcohol. A failed cable results in an ineffective device.

Northwire provided an innovative solution by offering a custom, ruggedized, industrial strength CoilBoss Retractile Cord assembly to replace the consumer grade straight cable assembly.

With over two years of field experience, CST Operations Manager, Howard Block, happily reported that the new CoilBoss™ Retractile Cord assemblies had zero failures, despite the hard life that these units lead.
