Benefits of Custom Cable Assemblies

Updated: May 2, 2023

A cable assembly is a collection of cables assembled into a single unit and varies in structure, size, length, and color. Conventional wires may occasionally work when dealing with customized or sophisticated applications, but they frequently fall short.


A cable assembly that is put up incorrectly when used in essential applications, such as military bases, massive industrial production lines, or medical equipment, might have devastating results. Even seemingly straightforward electrical systems, like a home theater system, need a custom cable assembly to guarantee that they perform well and provide while also being small and user-friendly. In this article, you’ll learn the benefits of custom cable assemblies.


Accuracy


Finding a pre-made cable assembly that meets your project's exact specifications might be challenging, if not impossible. However, custom cables are made according to the design's specifications. To reduce the possibility of components being put erroneously and to ensure a flawless fit from manufacture to implementation, the wires might, for instance, be color coded or labeled. To guarantee a tidy setup and avoid the need to conceal extra cables and connections, each cable may also be made to the precise length needed for the project.


Quantity


The maker may order precisely the number of cables needed for the application by using bespoke cable assemblies. During the design process, the precise count for the conductor, stranding, and size may also be optimized. When you use the necessary amounts, you'll reduce waste and end up with the correct number of cables when the assembly is finished.

Quality control


LMR-400 coax and LMR-400 ultra flex cable assemblies cannot afford to fail early when they are utilized in high-stakes applications. Custom assembly will undergo far more extensive testing than off-the-shelf goods to guarantee uniform operation and quality. The cable maker can provide the necessary test data, including tolerances, electrical characteristics, temperature performance, and chemical exposure resistance, to confirm that the cable has been tested for the specified specifications before assembly.


More efficiency


Custom cable assemblies are created to meet the exact specifications of your product. They are tested extensively with those specifications in mind to ensure a completed product that will perform and endure as anticipated. Bespoke cables frequently perform better than regular cables due to the exacting production process.


Additionally, because bespoke cables are made to order, they may combine several functions like power, signal, video, and cable shielding into a single cable. These specialized solutions are perfect for specialized applications like surveillance systems in the security sector since they are engineered for unrivaled performance and require less space.
