Custom Cable Assemblies/ Cable Lanyards:


CONSIDERATIONS:

There are many things to consider when designing the most effective cable assembly, cable lanyard for your application. First, what type of load will the cable assembly be subject to: tension, compression, static or dynamic. One must figure out the work load, shock load (if any), safety factor, and durability considering the environment. For the cable selection it is important to consider the construction, diameter, and whether it should be bare or coated. The type of fittings and terminals need to be selected and then determine whether standard fittings or custom are required. Finally, one needs to decide whether the tolerance conditions should be tight, normal, or relaxed. By considering these mentioned factors, the results of the cable assembly, cable lanyard will be as efficient and effective as possible.
