OEM vs Aftermarket: Cost & Performance Comparison 

Overview: Know Your Cables

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) cables are the exact parts originally installed by vehicle manufacturers.

Aftermarket cables are high-quality alternatives—often custom-made, replicated, or even superior in design and durability.

At Cable Engineering Services, we pride ourselves on providing aftermarket solutions that match or surpass OEM standards—plus offer cost advantages 

Performance & Quality Comparison

Durability

• OEM cables: reliable but can degrade quickly in harsh conditions.

• CES aftermarket cables: manufactured using high-grade materials and undergo thorough in-house quality testing.

Precision

• OEM cables are exact, but not always fully tailored to wear conditions.

• CES offers custom design and reverse-engineering, ensuring perfect fit and enhanced function, even for discontinued or vintage models .

Testing & Reliability

• OEMs rely on manufacturer’s quality control.

• CES conducts rigorous in-house testing for tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and overall performance—proven effective in automotive, marine, and heavy machinery applications.
