What are the advantages of assembled cables

Gone are the days when there was no option other than to assemble your own cables. Now, assembled cables offer advantages of efficiency and time and create opportunities for you to streamline processes and productivity. Handing the assembly process over to the professionals is a smart move if you are regularly working with cables and looking to become more efficient – but time saving is not the only benefit that assembled cables have to offer, there are other advantages too.

Cables that come with quality assurance

Assembled cables are put together by highly skilled technicians with a wealth of experience in their field. They are designed to meet the highest manufacturing standards and come with a guarantee of quality assurance that provides total peace of mind. Every assembled cable has been tested rigorously and visually inspected too. Whether it’s electrical testing, measuring crimp heights, or ensuring that all critical dimensions have been precisely checked, every possible step has been taken to ensure that cables are going to function perfectly and as required at every step. Plus, there are more than 200 cable types that can be customised.

Designed for optimal efficiency and extended life

Regular cables tend to fail prematurely and are not designed to offer an extended lifespan. That’s not the case for assembled cables, which have been put together in a way that is designed to ensure both efficiency and extended life. Using assembled cables can help to improve the efficiency of dynamic applications and also significantly increase service life. There are a number of key reasons for this that are related to the way that assembled cables are designed.

• The highest quality high pressure materials are used to support the individual strands of the conductor.
• Design ensures that there is minimal potential for kinking etc.
• Assembled cables have a high quality, tensile strength centre element for strain relief.
• Individual conductors are bundled to help ensuring pulling and compressive forces in the bending motion cancel out torsional forces.
• Features such as a high quality braided shield and pressure-extruded inner jacket ensure comprehensive protection.
• Assembled cables have an outer jacket that can be easily opened to help minimise maintenance time and the need for tools.

Rigorous real world testing

The best way to ensure that continuous flex cables are going to be able to perform in real world conditions is to test those cables in those conditions. Assembled cables will go through a rigorous testing process that is designed for specific types of movement and ensuring that the cables have strength and durability to maintain their properties over millions of activity cycles. Testing will also cover the impact of various environmental conditions, whether that is extreme temperatures or different chemicals. This is why you can be sure that so many assembled cables are flame retardant, UV resistant etc and also come with a length guarantee.

Assembled cables offer many advantages, from the peace of mind of quality assurance to the long term benefits of rigorous testing in demanding conditions.
