High-Quality Cable Assembly from Germany

The price of a cable assembly is primarily determined by the type and length of the cable, the number of contacts, and the connectors. Additional factors include protective measures such as overmolding or potting, as well as labeling and the scope of testing. A small-batch cable assembly costs more per unit than a large-batch order because setup time and equipment costs are spread across fewer parts. For suitable production runs, we also have our manufacturing facility in Portugal at our disposal. We will provide you with a firm price in the quote based on your drawing.

For cable assembly, we source and use the materials and components you specify. If materials are not specified, we will consult with you or suggest suitable alternatives. As a manufacturer of cable assemblies, we use only high-quality wires, contacts, and connectors to ensure the longest possible service life for our cable assemblies.

Technically, there is no clear distinction; both terms describe a manufacturing process in which machines perform a specific production step. “Automated” emphasizes that work steps have been shifted from manual to machine operation, while “automatic” describes the process carried out by the machine itself. What matters is which steps are performed by machines: At rokatec, a crimping center with a processing accuracy of up to ±0.2 mm handles the automated cutting, labeling, stripping, and crimping, among other tasks. Skilled workers assemble the connector housings by hand, as a machine-based solution only becomes cost-effective for very large production volumes.

A cable assembly manufacturer processes wires according to drawings into ready-to-install cables and cable assemblies for manufacturers who have their cables assembled rather than performing these steps themselves. This includes consulting on wires and connectors, manufacturing, and electrical testing.
