FEATURE CABLES & CONNECTORS
HigH-Performance cable assembly solutions
Cable assembly solutions are used across a wide range of
industries – from defence to medical and industrial. It is therefore highly important to understand the end-use application and its
operating environment in order to specify an interconnect solution that meets all the requirements, as Fischer Connectors explains
C
able assembly solutions bring together connectors, cables, accessories and more to create reliable signal and power
connections between pieces of equipment. Frequently used in defence, medical and heavy industrial applications, cable assembly solutions meet the challenging requirements of their industries including extreme environments, flexibility, weight reduction, electromagnetic shielding, sterilisation and more. A cable assembly may have active electronic components integrated into the assembly or they may be just a wire-to-wire interconnect. Understanding the end-use application and
its operating environments is crucial to finding the right high-performance interconnect solution. Specifying an appropriate connector is, therefore, only one part of the equation when it comes to ensuring the signal, power performance and reliability of your devices. The quality and construction of the cable itself, the cabling process and cable length can also directly affect the performance of the entire interconnect solution.
considering tHe design
When designing cable assembly solutions, it’s important to consider all aspects of the design
which may impact the performance and reliability of the solution, such as connector type, conductor size, material configuration, the form factor of the connector, the cable configuration including jacket material, strength members and shielding, not to mention termination options and options like bend reliefs and sealing caps. To make sense of the many options and myriad combinations, working with industry experts, like Fischer Connectors, who have the experience and partner connections to recommend the right materials and configuration, can help streamline design, procurement, production and testing, as opposed to sourcing the components individually.
