HB CABLES / SPECIAL DESIGN

When the standard cable doesn’t fit.

Bring us a drawing, a sample or the performance target. HB Cables works directly with the factory to develop the right construction and supply the finished cable to you.

DESIGNED AROUND THE APPLICATION

Specify the cable you actually need.

Standard ranges solve many projects. For unusual combinations of signals, space limits, repeated movement or demanding environments, we work directly with factory engineering teams on a custom cable or finished assembly.

We review the electrical and mechanical requirements together, then discuss feasibility, samples, testing, minimum quantity, lead time and factory production before a design is agreed.

WHAT CAN CHANGE

Design choices that matter.

01 / CONSTRUCTION

One cable, several functions

Combine power, control, data, coaxial or fibre elements where the application calls for a more integrated construction.

02 / PROTECTION

Materials for the environment

Review insulation, jacket, screening and mechanical protection around heat, oil, water, abrasion, UV or EMC requirements.

03 / MOVEMENT

Built for the routing

Consider bend radius, flexing, strength members and installation space at the start of the design.

04 / FINISHING

Beyond the reel

Explore cut lengths, terminations, harnesses and assemblies alongside the factory-developed cable.

These are design possibilities, not standard stocked products. Final construction, tests and approvals depend on the agreed brief.

FROM IDEA TO SUPPLY

A straightforward route through a complex brief.

01

Share the requirement

Send a drawing, an existing part, or the application and performance targets.

02

Review the construction

We work directly with the factory on the design, materials and manufacturability.

03

Agree evidence and samples

Confirm the testing, documentation and sample plan needed to qualify the design.

04

Plan the supply

Agree quantity, lead time, assembly needs and any ongoing stockholding requirement.

SEND YOUR BRIEF
