Many types of medical equipment, diagnostic tools, and devices incorporate electronics and computerized capabilities. Cable assemblies keep the cables and wires used in these applications protected from moisture, dust, spills, and general wear and tear, and bundle them together into a single organized unit. A group of wires is gathered together and housed in a sheath that makes them easier to handle and install. 

For over 30 years, American Precision Assemblers (APA) has been a leading provider of custom cable assemblies for medical applications. Additional capabilities include wire harnesses, electrical, and mechanical sub-assemblies. Learn more about cable assemblies for the medical industry and our role as a trusted supplier.

The Importance of Custom Cable Assemblies in Medicine

Cable assemblies package all of the different cables and wires for an application into a single unit that stays organized and takes up less space than multiple separate components. Each assembly must comply with the appropriate requirements and regulations of the equipment. For that reason, choosing a custom cable assembly is an excellent way to ensure the materials, connectors, and components are suitable for the intended use. 

Our comprehensive cable assembling services include:

  • Coiling
  • Connecting
  • Crimping
  • Cutting
  • Integrating cables into subassemblies
  • Marking (e.g., hand marking, laser marking, and high-speed inkjet printing)
