Customer Specified Cable Harness and
Box Assemblies Are Our Speciality
Glenair's expertise in the design and fabrication of high-reliability interconnect cable
assemblies is simply unequaled in our industry. Since 1959, we've built some of
the most challenging harness applications the commercial and military aerospace
industry had to offer. Today, we're servicing an expanded range of customers from
the telecommunications, geophysical, rail and marine industries with the same high
levels of quality, reliability and service our aerospace customers have relied on for
years, including:
- Three tightly controlled, 100% inspection and test assembly plants complete with an abundance of manufacturing and assembly capacity.
- Complete cable overmoulding and jacketing capabilities using Viton®, Butyl, Neoprene and other harsh environment coverings.
- Custom fibre optic and electrical cable extrusion capabilities and one of the industry's broadest selections of EMI shielding and sleeving.
- Proven shielded and unshielded designs for virtually any environmental or electromagnetic application.
- Standard high-density circular connector assemblies as well as Nano, Micro-D, and D-Subminiature assemblies and pre-wired connectors.
- ISO 9001, BSENISO9000, MIL-I-45208A and MIL-Q-9858A quality systems and continuous improvement training programs.
Overmoulded Cable Harness Assemblies: Overmoulding and jacketing technology using Viton®, butyl, or neoprene is the perfect solution for fuel cell cables and other applications which must exhibit extremely high integrity while fully immersed in fuels, liquid chemicals or other caustic solutions. Typically, such cables must be able to withstand penetration and degradation from caustic fl uids for their entire life-span, as any failure could potentially cause a dangerous safety condition or interconnect system failure. Since 1985, Glenair has manufactured over 35,000 overmoulded interconnect cable assemblies with zero real-time failures. The capabilities originally developed by Glenair to produce the F-16 fuel-cell assembly (shown above) have been successfully applied to overmoulded aircraft cable assemblies for the F-18, F-22, the V-22 and the F-2. We have also applied this same wire protection technology to harsh-environment cables and harnesses for geophysical, rail and marine applications. The technology is ideally suited for both electrical as well as fibre optic systems and is supported by our factories in the US as well as in the UK.
