Wire harnesses and cable assemblies in USA
Wire harnesses and cable assemblies are an integral part of every electrical connection and electronic equipment. Apart from household and industrial applications, custom cable assemblies are useful in a myriad of fields, one of them being the health care industry. Medical devices play a vital role in saving a person’s life, due to which wire manufacturers need to pay extreme attention while supplying custom cable assemblies for this industry. The specifications of these cable assemblies are precise and detailed, as they undergo severe testing and exposure.
There is a difference between wire harnesses and cable assemblies, just as a cable and a wire. A wire is a single strand of a metal that conducts electricity, while a cable is a bunch of wires kept within an enclosure for protection. Wire harnesses and cable assemblies: both contain wires and cables, but a cable assembly consists of an outer sheath that offers a greater degree of protection than a wire harness does to its components.
There are wide applications of cable assemblies in the healthcare industry. Medical equipment used across various branches of medical sciences contains custom cable assemblies, which wire manufacturers procure on a customized order. Few devices where they find use are (but not limited to) CT Scanners, X-Ray devices, MRI Scanners, Dental Chairs, ECG equipment, Pulse Oximeters, Anesthesia apparatus, Dialysis Equipment, and Endoscopes. Most of these apparatus need electric and electronic components that require custom cable assemblies. Custom cable assemblies are also used in Ultrasound equipment, endoscopes, medical robots, wheelchairs, and dental drills, to name a few.
