An assembled cable, cable set or cable assembly consists of either a simple A-B connection or a complex wire harness. A wire harness is made up of several strands and/or conductors. Large wire harnesses can have several hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of contact points. As a rule, a cable assembly is an elementary component of electrical power and data transmission in many technical devices and systems. Every cable system must function for years, sometimes under adverse conditions, so that the customer’s electrical system works reliably. The cable assembly from CiS fulfills the highest quality standards and will provide you with long-lasting loyal service.What is cable assembly?
Cable assembly is a process for producing ready-to-connect cables with connectors. This is also referred to as cable packaging. In addition to cables, cable bundles, cable sets and even complete cable harnesses can also be produced via the cable assembly process. A complete cable assembly also includes the assembly of plugs, connectors, ferrules and contacts. Ready-to-connect cables are used in industries and industrial processes which electronically transmit particles. Special cables and connectors must be selected for the cable assembly to match their specific purpose. Cable assemblies are available either as standardised or customised products. We can also meet the needs of customers rely on precisely fitting cable assemblies. Please do not hesitate to contact our consultants in this regard! Cable assemblies differ in a number of ways. Fast data transmissions are susceptible to interference, which is why the cables and connectors used are shielded against interference. In power transmission, the focus is on safety, electromagnetic compatibility and the reduction of losses. The different requirements each have an influence on the selection of stranded wires, cables and connectors.What are the advantages of custom cables?
Custom cables offer a number of benefits, including:- Accuracy of fit: custom cables are designed to meet the exact requirements of a specific application, which means they fit perfectly and perform better than standard cables.
- Reliability: Custom cables are designed to meet specific requirements, which means they perform better and are more reliable than standard cables.
- Flexibility: Custom cables meet the requirements of a specific application. This means they can be used in a variety of environments.

Construction of a cable assembly
The assemblies have to ensure that the cables and connectors are suitable for their intended purpose and function reliably. As such, both the development and the design of a cable assembly are highly important. Generally, complex cable assemblies are first drafted on the drawing board before they are produced. In the process, the various features can be tailored to suit the specific solutions during the planning stage itself. The following list contains the most important parameters of a cable. These application-specific requirements have to be taken into account during planning:- Voltages / currents of the application, as well as the electromagnetic compatibility.
- Interference, fastening, insulation of the cable, as well as length and weight
- protection against humidity, shocks and temperatures (heat and/or cold)
- mechanical stress and bending radius of the cables
Why is cable assembly construction important?
Cable assembly is important because it provides the ability to create custom cables that meet the requirements of a specific application. These custom cables are more powerful and reliable than standard cables because they are made specifically for a particular application. This ensures safe, reliable and effective transmission of data and power between different components. Here are some reasons why cable assembly design is important:- avoidance of power failures A badly constructed cable harness can lead to power failures, which can cause significant damage to electronic equipment. A well-constructed cable harness minimizes the risk of power failures and thus increases the reliability of the equipment.
- Better data transmission A well-constructed cable assembly ensures better transmission of data between different components. This is especially important for devices that require fast and reliable data transmission.
- Efficiency A well-constructed cable assembly can help improve the efficiency of electronic devices by optimizing the transmission of power and data. This can lead to longer device life and help reduce operating costs.
- Safety A well constructed cable assembly also ensures the safety of electronic equipment. Faulty cable assembly can lead to short circuits, overheating and even fires, which can be a significant hazard. A well-constructed cable assembly minimizes the risk of safety problems.
What should be considered in the construction of a cable assembly?
When constructing a cable assembly, several factors must be considered to ensure that it is safe, reliable, and effective. Below are some important factors that should be considered when designing a cable assembly:- Materials The choice of materials for cable assembly is of great importance. Materials should be used that meet the requirements of the particular application and have a long service life. The materials should also be resistant to chemicals and moisture to ensure high reliability and durability.
- Wiring and connection Wiring and connection of cables should be done carefully to ensure optimum transmission of power and data. Proper connection and shielding also minimizes noise and interference.
- Strain relief The cable assembly should have adequate strain relief to ensure that the cables are not damaged and that the connection remains secure. The strain relief should also have sufficient stability and flexibility to withstand possible loads.
- Coding Cable assemblies should be coded to allow easy identification and connection of components. Proper coding can also facilitate troubleshooting and minimize the risk of connection errors.
- Testing and quality control A cable assembly should also be subjected to careful testing and quality control to ensure that it meets requirements. Testing and quality control also ensure that cable assembly is safe, reliable and effective.
