Cable and Wire Harness Assembly
Cable and wire harness assembly comprises a set of wires, cables, as well as subassemblies, which are designed to supply power in industrial applications. A cable assembly usually features two ends, while the wire assembly may feature multiple ends, which run in multiple directions. At Suntronic, we specialize in the manufacturing of complex cable harness assemblies and wire harness assemblies. Our cable and wire harness assemblies are widely used in various industrial applications such as automotive and military. All manufacturing is performed in-house at our well-equipped facility by leading industry experts. This helps us assure quality, repeatability, and performance.

Wire and Cable Harness Assembly Testing Procedures
Wire and cable harness assemblies are manufactured for use in various complex applications. Thus, the wires within these assemblies undergo functional testing to ensure their performance, safety, and reliability when used in an application. The wire and cable harness assemblies are subjected to the following tests to ensure their excellent performance.
- Visual Testing: This is the most basic level of testing performed by our experts. Under this, they examine the wires and cables for signs of damage, which may occur during any phase of manufacturing. In addition to this, they also inspect connectors and sockets, examine enclosures to ensure they are secured safely, and check if the assemblies comply with the specifications of applications, and so on.
- Electrical Testing: The cables are tested for shorting, incorrect wiring, and open wires. All these tests are performed at once by linking the connector assembly and an electrical fixture using a mating connector.
- Signal Integrity Testing: In this type of testing, the cables and wires are tested for their signal integrity. It means, they are tested for their efficiency to maintain signals in an application. Crosstalk, error testing, and signal strength testing are a few common types of tests conducted here.
- Environmental Testing: Cable and wire harness assemblies are used in various applications, indoors and outdoors. These cables and harnesses may be exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions such as high temperatures, salt fog, saltwater spray, condensation, and so on. Thus, cable and wire harnesses used in these conditions must withstand these conditions, else, they may be subjected to degradation, premature aging, as well as accelerated corrosion. We perform various environmental testing on regular and complex wire and cable harness assemblies.
- Mechanical Testing: The cables are tested for their mechanical properties to ensure they meet the requirements of an application. In this testing, our experts test cables for their tensile strength, elongation, impact and crush resistance, and so on.
