RAPID CABLE HARNESS PROTOTYPING
Renowned for skills in complex wiring and interconnection solutions, Tekdata offers a rapid prototyping facility that meets fixed deadlines and costs.

A recent fast-turn example was a 'black box' cable assembly for the actuation system of a city hopper jet. The project had a fixed deadline that could only be achieved with 24/7 working. The harness required segregation of wires and hidden protection splices within cable bundles to minimise the effects of RFI.

Close liaison with the customer also ensured that last minute modifications could be incorporated into the first build.

Tekdata's services include design and drawing validation and recommendations on assembly and test methodology, so allowing OEMs to outsource R&D cabling concepts into reality - fast and furiously.

Why not call 01782 254700 or email erniee@tekdata-interconnect.co.uk to see what we can do for your cable harness requirements

First in, last in, as mom's mangle catches NASA's eye
Tekdata's first employee, Mike Knapper, has rejoined the company - 35 years since he became the company's very first acquisition.

Mike joined Tekdata in 1970 as a technician wireman, and subsequently brought a series of innovations to the company, one of which even involved his mother's mangle and has recently led to a subsequent product development achieving NASA approval!

This was a novel approach to high-speed density interconnect by replacing coaxial wiring with a woven ribbon cable generating similar properties by using the earth signal earth pattern within a weave to create a controlled impedance cable pathway - and he even used his mother's mangle to apply and secure the flame-proof jacket to the product!
