Custom Cable Assemblies
Compatible Cable provides custom cable assemblies built to customer drawings, specifications, or bills of materials for OEM and industrial applications. From straightforward point-to-point cables to complex multi-connector configurations, each assembly is tailored to your connector, cable, shielding, labeling, and performance requirements.
Support is available for new products, obsolete assembly replacements, and ongoing production programs, with domestic and offshore manufacturing options.
Built to Your Specifications
Each project begins with the requirements of your equipment and application. Assemblies can be configured around specified connectors, cable constructions, lengths, pinouts, shielding, strain relief, labeling, and environmental protection. Original components or approved equivalents can be sourced based on your documentation and program requirements.
Capabilities Include
- Point-to-point and multi-connector assemblies
- Custom cable lengths and pinouts
- Single- and multi-conductor cables
- Shielded and unshielded constructions
- Custom labeling and identification
- Protective sleeving and strain relief
- Overmolded connector options
- Original and approved equivalent components
Applications
Custom cable assemblies connect equipment, devices, panels, and system components when a standard cable does not meet the required interface, length, construction, or operating conditions.
Common Applications
- Equipment-to-equipment connections

Custom Cable Assemblies We've Built
Custom cable assemblies vary by connection type, cable construction, electrical requirements, and operating environment — each one built to the customer’s drawings, specifications, and application requirements. The examples below reflect a small sample of the configurations we’ve delivered.
Additional Assembly Services
Depending on the equipment and application, a project may also require specialized cable constructions, wire harnesses, molded components, or additional environmental protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Custom Cable Assemblies
What is a custom cable assembly?
A custom cable assembly combines cable, connectors, terminals, and protective components in a configuration developed for specific equipment or application requirements. Length, pinout, connector type, shielding, labeling, and other construction details can be tailored to customer documentation.
Can you build from our drawings or specifications?
Yes. Custom cable assemblies can be built from customer drawings, bills of materials, specifications, or existing samples. Complete documentation helps define component, dimensional, labeling, and performance requirements.
Can you replace an obsolete cable assembly?
In many cases, yes. An existing cable assembly may be recreated from customer documentation or a physical sample. If a specified component is obsolete or unavailable, an approved equivalent may be proposed for customer review.
Can you source original or equivalent components?
Yes. Components can be sourced from specified manufacturers, or approved equivalents can be considered when availability, lead time, or obsolescence affects the original selection.
Do you support prototype and production quantities?
Yes. Compatible Cable supports prototypes, first articles, low-volume builds, and production programs, with domestic and offshore manufacturing options available based on project requirements.
What is the difference between a cable assembly and a wire harness?
A cable assembly generally uses one or more jacketed cables terminated with connectors to carry power, signals, or data between devices. A wire harness organizes and routes individual wires and branches within equipment or a larger system.
