A cable assembly is important to many commercial products and for many industrial applications. They are commonly used in vehicles, aircraft, and computer equipment. A cable assembly is also known as a cable or wire harness, and its primary purpose is to transmit electrical power through a bundle or grouping of wires.
Why are Cable Assemblies Necessary for Vehicles and Products?
Many mechanical and electronic products and vehicles typically need a large amount of wiring to function properly. This is true of cars, trucks, computers and television sets. When a manufacturer produces these items, they have to figure out a way to insert wiring without altering the casing or body of the produced product. Keep in mind that certain items such as airplanes or SUVs contain wiring that is over a mile long. Many electronic products would be impractical to produce without the use of cable assembly processes.
Electronic and vehicle producers figured out that the best way to fit wiring inside of products is by binding or grouping them together. This is how the practice of cable harnessing came about. This process not only saves space it also protects wiring from vibrations, abrasions, and moisture. Keep in mind, wiring has different sizes and thickness. Some wiring is thin and very fragile. It can rip, split or even snap very easily. Cable harnessing helps to safeguard against this type of hazard. Most cable assemblies are bound together by cable ties, lacing, electrical tape, straps, sleeves conduit and extruded string.
What other Applications are Cable Assemblies used for?
Civil and military aircraft, spaceflight, cleanroom, automation and oil and gas exploration equipment and vehicles are some of the many different applications where cable assemblies are used.
Fiber optic cable assemblies are available for servers, computer networks and other types of computer networks. Many fiber optic assemblies can get at least 25G of power. Space craft is another important area for cable assembly. The space industry needs this type of process for nearly all equipment, vehicles, machines, and craft.
Cable Assemblies Construction
There are some companies which design and manufacture products are needing cable assemblies. Gopher Electronics Company can design diagrams for products from scratch. They can even improve the cable assemblies inside of certain products which already exist. Keep in mind that cable assembly design can make or break a product. Cable harnesses are also needed for smaller products. They can be designed to scale for small electronics well.
