    Frequently Asked Questions

    We source our materials from trusted suppliers that adhere to stringent quality standards, ensuring the best performance for each component in our assemblies. Our sourcing process guarantees high-grade wire, connectors, terminals, and other critical materials, contributing to the durability and reliability of every cable assembly. By partnering with reputable vendors, we support consistent quality assurance across every product we manufacture.

    As custom cable assembly manufacturers, we have the capacity to efficiently and precisely produce small—and large-scale cable assembly projects. Our advanced machinery and lean production methods enable us to meet mass production needs without compromising on quality. Whether your project requires a single prototype or mass production runs, we have the infrastructure to handle it.

    We apply rigorous quality control processes at every stage of manufacturing. Our cable assemblies undergo comprehensive test procedures, including pull strength testing, continuity checks, and visual inspection. We also have detailed final inspections to ensure each product meets our high-performance standards.

    We specialize in custom wire harness assembly solutions for various applications across industries such as telecommunications, automotive, industrial automation, and aerospace. Our wire harnesses can be configured to meet your specific project needs.

    If you have drawings, schematics, or specifications for an existing assembly, we can manufacture to those parameters. Our team will review the documentation, confirm materials and configuration, and build to your exact requirements. If anything is unclear or if improvements can be made, we’ll flag those before production begins.

    Prototyping is a standard part of our process and a service we actively support. Building a prototype first allows you to validate the assembly and confirm it performs as expected in its intended application before moving to full production. Our team can guide you through each stage, from early-stage scoping and DFM review through to a production-ready assembly.

    The right configuration for a cable depends on several factors: voltage and current requirements, the environmental conditions it will operate in, the environmental requirements it needs to meet, and whether the assembly will be used in indoor environments or exposed to harsh conditions in the field.

    Different applications call for different configurations, and each project brings its own unique demands. We work through these requirements with you during a specification review to make sure the assembly is configured correctly before materials are sourced or production begins.

    For regulated applications, compliance is built into our process from the start.

    For medical devices, we hold ISO 13485:2016 certification for the manufacturing of electronic sub-assemblies for non-implantable medical devices. This means full documentation and traceability at every manufacturing stage to ensure safety and product safety for end users.

    For defense applications, we hold both the Controlled Goods Program (CGP) certification and Joint Certification Program (JCP) registration, which qualify us to handle, store, and work with sensitive defense-related goods and technical data in compliance with all relevant standards and regulatory requirements.

    We specialize in low- to mid-volume manufacturing and work with customers across a range of production scales, from single prototypes through to volume runs. There is no fixed minimum order quantity. What works best for your project depends on the complexity of the assembly and your timeline, and we’re happy to discuss what makes sense for your situation.

    We accommodate changes at any point in the process, though the impact varies depending on where you are in the build. Changes introduced early (during specification review or material sourcing) are typically straightforward. Changes later in the process may affect production time and material costs.

    We maintain close communication throughout every manufacturing stage and will walk you through the implications of any modification before proceeding, so there are no surprises.

    As a custom cable manufacturer, we offer a range of value-added services that extend beyond building the cable itself. These additional services include box build integration, DFM review, prototyping, supply chain management, and repair and refurbishment. Working with a single trusted partner from concept through to finished product means you’re not coordinating between multiple suppliers at every stage.

    Unlike standard cables that come in fixed configurations, both cable assemblies and wire harnesses are built to a specific project requirement.

    • A cable assembly consists of one or more cables enclosed in a protective outer jacket, configured to transmit power or signals in a defined arrangement.
    • A wire harness groups multiple wires or cables together (often with branches) to organize and route connections throughout a larger system.

    Both play a critical role in complex products, and which one is right for a cable depends on your system architecture, space constraints, and intended application. We manufacture both.

    Our manufacturing facility is based in Calgary, Alberta, and all production is Canadian. That said, we regularly work with customers whose products and end users are distributed internationally. We have established outbound logistics capabilities, including customs documentation for international shipping and global distribution.

    The more detail you can share upfront, the faster we can move.

    Useful inputs include:

    • Bill of materials
    • Schematic or wiring diagram
    • Connector specifications
    • Required cable lengths
    • Environmental conditions the assembly will operate in
    • Any applicable regulatory requirements or industry standards

     

    If you’re still in the early stages, that’s fine. We’re comfortable working from partial specifications and can help you define the exact needs of your project through our DFM and requirements review process before production begins.
