Cable manufacturers?

How many cable companies actually manufacture their own cable? 

Perhaps Mogami, Belden, Canare and a few others. I am willing to bet most cable companies do not manufacture their own cable, but simply buy cable, throw on some techflex or other custom jacketing, and do nice terminations. 

Anyone have any any actual Information?

zavato: "By manufacture, I mean their own wire"

The real question when you get down to basics is:

How many of them mine and smelt their own metal, which is used to make the wire?

So, cable manufacturers (designers and assemblers) must be alchemist? Can't tell if your post is humor. I hope so.

"Anyone have any actual Information?"

OP, what are you planning to do with this info?

To answer your query, I believe Acrolink and Oyaide manufacture their own wire (conductor).

Cardas either makes his, or has it made for him. Lots of other companies buy their wire from him, including Audio Advisor/Pangea.
