Network cables are used for communication systems throughout the world. Using the right cable will ensure optimum performance of the network. Therefore, whether to use coaxial cable vs twisted pair cable vs fiber optic cable will depend on the communication system being installed.

Each type of cable serves a distinct purpose, has specific benefits, and certainly drawbacks if the wrong cable is installed. There are a number of factors to consider in choosing the correct cable for your network to ...

Knowing when to use shielded cable is really a matter of knowing the work environment in which the cable is intended for. Depending upon the application, shielded cable may be necessary to keep a product or device functioning correctly!

What is Shielded Cable? 

A shielded cable contains normal insulating conductors enclosed in a standard conductive layer with a special protective shield layer. This shield layer is what sets these cables apart from normal non-shielded variants. Shields are ...

In electrical applications like cable assemblies and wire harnesses, choosing stranded wire vs solid wire will depend on the job requirements. The physical differences between the two wires are straight forward enough: a solid wire consists of a solid metal core while stranded wires are made of a quantity of thinner wires that are twisted together into an organized bundle.

In choosing the right wire to use, there are a handful of considerations and pros and cons that will drive the decision, ...

The wire harness manufacturing process is time consuming, difficult, and task oriented. Nonetheless, as the demand for wire harnesses and cable assemblies grow, manufacturing of these components continues to expand. That’s because the wire harness is one of the most indispensable electronic and electrical components in the modern world!

In our modern, high-tech world, cables are more than just four pairs of wires bound together in a casing to connect electronic objects to each other. Cables, in fact, are a necessary component that keep our planet connected. Most of today's connectivity relies on shielded and unshielded cable.

The ideal wiring harness is only as good as its wiring harness components and the operating conditions it is made for. Therefore, what kind of components to use in manufacturing the wiring harness, and how many, will be determined by the application as well as the environmental conditions that the product is intended for.

Low-pressure injection molding provides custom over-molded cabling solutions using standard low-cost connector components. Today's competitive marketplace is forcing manufacturers to re-assess all aspects of production - from raw materials affecting manufacturing lead time, to capital equipment. Time-to-market, production flexibility and cost containment are all critical elements to be considered while ensuring you meet customers' performance requirements. Low-pressure injection molding with ...

Is the electronics supply chain diving headlong into one of its infamous component undersupply situations and the associated procurement woes? Some industry veterans are concerned this may be the case as they watch average selling prices inch higher and demand strengthen in an environment marked by low inventories and limited manufacturing capacity. With companies keeping a wary eye on uncertainties in the global economic and political environment – and hesitant to raise capex – the stage may ...
