Custom Cable Assembly Manufacturers in USA
Star Engineering is a USA custom cable assembly manufacturer in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, building quick turn cable assemblies to your print or specification, from prototype through production. We offer a full range of electronic cable and wire harness assemblies for many cable types, including flat ribbon, coaxial, battery, multi-conductor cables and more.
A cable assembly consists of cables and wires which are grouped together for convenient and efficient transmission of power or informational signals. Unlike a wire harness, which bundles individual wires into a branched assembly, a cable assembly is built from jacketed cable terminated with connectors. Cable assemblies are used in electronic devices, vehicles, medical equipment and industrial machinery, where they make efficient use of available space and help prevent damage and disconnections caused by movement and vibration.
Our custom cable assemblies are built from quality materials for chemical resistance, EMI suppression and lot traceability. We build to your drawings, samples or specifications, including reverse engineering from an existing cable, and engineer our assemblies for demanding work environments and high signal integrity.
We provide connector encapsulation with epoxy and polyurethane potting compounds and work with all types of electrical jacketed cables, whether unshielded or multi-shielded. Our quick turn cable assemblies go through visual inspection and 100% electrical testing on Cirrus testers before they ship, helping you avoid downtime.
A key factor that distinguishes Star Engineering as a cable assembly manufacturer from other cable assembly companies is our in-house manufacturing capability. Our cable assembly solutions are manufactured for various industries like medical, automotive military and industrial manufacturing. Request a quote for custom cable assemblies or call 508-316-1492.
