Our cable assembly plants in Glendale, Chicago and in Mansfield, England provide wired, terminated and tested cable harnesses to military, industrial and commercial markets worldwide. From molded, fiber optic and electrical fuel-cell cables for the F-18 fighter to Micro-D subminiature harnesses for the telecommunications industry, Glenair's complete capability assembly facilities have the engineering expertise and manufacturing know how to address any cable assembly challenge.
Glenair is the only major connector accessory company to offer complete Custom Assembly, Shielding and Braiding Services for both molded and repairable cable harnesses. Our custom assembly expertise extends from one of a kind to mass produced; from simple point-to-point, to complex multiple branch, Micro-D and fiber optic assemblies. We offer a complete range of jacketing, shielding and braided protective covering options including NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) materials.
Glenair's complete capability in interconnect systems also extends to the design and manufacture of Custom Multi-Conductor Cables, including electrical and fiber optic configurations. Our custom multi-conductor cable is available with or without extruded jacketing, shielding and protective coverings in configurations to meet virtually any mechanical, environmental or electromagnetic interference requirement.
The flexibility and size of our cable production facility, which includes planetary stranders, wire and cable braiding machines, and thermal plastic extruders, allows for both short, one-time runs as well as unlimited quantities and lengths. Braided Shielding is available in tin-plated copper, nickel-plated copper and tin-plated iron/copper (SnCuFe). Tubular Sleeving, such as black dacron and jacketings made from Neoprene (Polychloroprene) and Hypalon (Chlorosulfonated polyethylene) provide additional mechanical, EMI/EMP and environmental protection.
