Getting The Right Custom Cable For Your Application


With each passing day, the need for customized solutions is rising steeply. Customers require solutions designed and manufactured for their specific needs. Custom cables and wires are readily available and affordable. Buyers can get their precise design needs met at manageable cost and with shorter lead times. Custom cables are developed for use by cutting edge companies in medical, robotics, aerospace, military, sensory and a host of other industries. They are specifically designed for meeting exacting requirements, such as ultra-flexibility and high voltage and high temperature tolerance. The extensive capabilities and the variety of materials used by custom design companies form the basis for their innovative designs.

Silicone rubber insulated high voltage wire and cable offers excellent dielectric strength and flexibility. Silicone wire is extremely popular for its superb electrical properties and high thermal conductivity. These light weighted yet long lasting silicone cables are resistant to moisture, chemicals, ozone and sunlight. Operability over a wide temperature range and ease of silastic bonding are other outstanding characteristics of silicone rubber cables. High quality silicone wire is used in the medical, military and space industries. It is also used in high temperature applications like motors, transformers, generators, lighting fixtures, power supplies and in electronic devices.

The need for flexible wire and cable is paramount in some industries. Flexible wire is multi-stranded wire insulated with PVC, silicone, TPE, Teflon and other insulating materials. Each application requires a unique flexibility. The right design is used along with the right choice of conductors and compounds to produce flexible wire and cable that are long lasting and fit the customer’s requirements. Some industries that commonly require flexible wire and cable are medical, robotics, aerospace, sensors, test & measurement and instrumentation.

Medical wire is manufactured for meeting the exacting and specific requirements of medical equipment. Wire in different grades of stainless steel, precious metals and a range of other materials along with coatings and surface treatments such as anodizing and electroplating is made available. Insulation and bondable coatings are applied to the wire which makes them consistent and extremely tenacious. Medical wire can be delivered in the form of spools, coils, braider bobbins and straightened lengths. Medical wire is widely used in a whole range of medical equipment, such as cardiology, surgery, laparoscopy, ultrasound and radiology.

As medical technology gets to be more and more sophisticated, the demand for custom wire and cable is going to increase manifold. With each passing day, more medical equipment companies will go in for customized wire and cable.
