A cable harness, in the simplest terms, is a collection of cables arranged to transfer information or signals as efficiently as possible.
The makeup of each unique harness depends strongly on the application and environment in which the product will be installed, as well as the types of power/signals/information that need to be transmitted. The collected cables are then bound together using various methods, such as secondary sleeving or ties, so they are neatly grouped and protected to perform their function.
Need cable harnesses manufactured to your specification? See our cable harness manufacturing service.
The possible applications of cable harnesses are extremely wide-ranging, and they can be found in any machine or product that requires electrical power/signals to be transmitted. The environments in which these products operate can often be hazardous to the cables; mechanical and electrical corrosion must be taken into account, as well as environmental sealing and protection. The final size of any cable harness is determined by its application, whether it’s a large-scale harness (we have previously produced up to 100 metres) or miniature interface wires and connections; the scope for design is extremely broad.
This is where our in-house engineering team often give the most help to our customers; they can quickly identify the essentials of the design based on the application and advise the customer on the most effective and efficient manufacturing process for their project. This aligning of cables with running quality checks, along with 100% electronic testing as per our customers’ specifications, means that each product that leaves our ISO9001-accredited factory is manufactured to the highest standards, every time.
