Agricultural equipment, from tractors to harvesters to irrigation systems, use electronics to control moving components, power touchscreens, and run monitoring and sensor systems. Custom cable assemblies make it easier to integrate this technology into farm equipment while keeping it protected from dirt, dust, rain, and UV radiation. 

American Precision Assemblers specializes in custom cable assemblies, wire harnesses, and related electrical and mechanical sub-assemblies that stand up to the challenging conditions in farming and related agricultural operations.

The Importance of Custom Cable Assemblies in Agriculture

Agricultural cable assemblies are bundles of cables and wires that are packaged in a protective sheath as a single, compact assembly. Types of individual cables within an assembly may include:

  • Coaxial cable
  • Multi-conductors
  • Ribbon cable
  • Wire rope
  • Aircraft cable

Each cable assembly carries its own technical and compliance requirements, so it’s important that assemblies are tailored to the application. Working with an experienced agricultural cable provider means assemblies will be suitable for top performance and a long service life in farming conditions. There are a number of benefits to choosing cable assemblies designed especially for agricultural applications and settings, including:

  • Protection from wear, chemicals, UV radiation, dust and debris, etc.
  • Securing related cables for specific components in bundles
  • Organization of complex cable systems
  • Keeping cables compact and space-efficient inside equipment
  • Simplified cable handling and installation
  • Reduced downtime due to long or complex installation processes
  • Tailored cable assembly materials and configuration for the equipment type and use conditions (e.g., externally vs. internally mounted)
  • Improved quality controls
  • Optimizing cable performance and reliability

Custom Agricultural Cable Applications 

We have designed and built cable assemblies that are used in a variety of agricultural, farming, and related settings. Sample applications include: 

  • Wire and cable connectors
  • Irrigation systems and pumps
  • Interface cables for computers and touchscreens
  • Joysticks for heavy machinery
  • Shipping and transportation vehicles
  • Harvester controls
  • Processing facility equipment
  • Sensors
  • Storage, material handling, and packaging equipment

At APA, we understand how and why custom cable assemblies improve the functionality of agricultural equipment and site operations. Our agricultural assemblies are made with components that are durable and protective, such as:
