Customer Success Story – IMSA Wire and Cable

A Galaxy customer provides this testimonial about working with Galaxy:

We had been using 3 different cables to install a camera at the DOT. I was looking for a different option for doing this and to be able to save some money in the process. I was looking into wire companies and found Galaxy Wire & Cable online. The person I was put in contact with was Duane. I explained to him what I was looking for and the idea of having just one cable to pull in. The great people at Galaxy Wire were able to make us a custom cable to do what we needed and was able to save us significant money on the new combination cable. Just want to thank Galaxy Wire for all the help.
