The Different Types of Cable Assemblies
WHAT ARE CABLE ASSEMBLIES?
A cable assembly can be defined as a collection of wires and/or cables grouped into a single unit with connectors attached at both or either end. In industrial as well as other applications, cable assemblies are used to connect different types of equipment and instruments to each other.
Depending on the nature of the application, the required connectors and wire configurations can be very specific. Therefore, when selecting industrial cable assemblies, it is important to consider the area of application and the type of specifications desired. Some of the relevant specifications for industrial cable assemblies include gender, shielding, and approvals/certifications, depending on the applications.
HOW DO CABLE ASSEMBLIES WORK?
A cable assembly can be identified by the plugs and receptacles that are attached to its ends. The connectors featured in a particular industrial cable assembly are determined by the application for which it has been manufactured. Along with that, the nature of the intended application also determines the dimensions, electrical specifications, approvals, and certifications required of the cable assembly.
These days, various suppliers offer custom industrial cables and assemblies for the following applications:
- Automotive
- Audio/video (AV)
- Radiofrequency (RF)
- Telecommunication
- Personal computers (PCs)
- Local area networks (LANs)
- Industrial control systems
- Instrumentation systems
Manufacturers offer various types of custom cable assemblies such as cordage, patch cords, and cable extenders to suit a variety of applications.
TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL CABLE ASSEMBLIES
The different types of industrial cable assemblies are grouped according to the intended application:
- Multicore assembly is designed to accomplish two or more functions at the same time through a single cable assembly. For instance, you can choose to have power, data, and signal in the same cable.
- Audio/visual (AV) cables are used for connecting audio and video equipment to a computer or other displays. A few examples of AV cables include DVI, RGB and VGA cables.
- Computer cables can be used to connect hard drives, monitors, printers, and other devices to a computer or other systems. These include ATA/SATA, IEEE 1394, IDE, UTP with different connectors, USB, VGA, and HDMI cables.
- General communication and networking cables are used for data transmission and networking between computers, controllers, and other devices.
- Patch cables, also known as patch cords, are electrical or optical cables that are used for connecting two or more devices. These cables are available in different lengths and can be used for numerous applications, including panel connection, Ethernet, etc.
- Telecommunication cables are useful for connecting telephones, intercoms, and handsets.
