Custom Data & Signal
Cable Assemblies
Cablum manufactures custom data and signal cable assemblies with shielding, twisted-pair, differential-impedance and connector-integration options for industrial automation, machine vision, medical equipment, test systems and custom electronic applications.
Managing Impedance, Shielding & Transmission Performance
Signal attenuation, impedance discontinuity, crosstalk and electromagnetic interference can affect communication reliability. Cable structure, connector selection, shield termination and assembly consistency must be considered together.
Impedance Control
Customer-specified differential impedance options can be supported through suitable cable and connector selection.
EMI / RFI Shielding
Foil, braid and combined shielding options can help reduce interference in electrically noisy environments.
Twisted-Pair Design
Twisted-pair and differential-pair structures can support balanced signal transmission and reduced common-mode interference.
Assembly Consistency
Controlled shield preparation, contact termination and connector assembly help maintain repeatable cable performance.
