Although used interchangeably by many professionals, there are a number of differences between a cable harness assembly and a wire harness.
The latter is made of a thermoplastic coating, made to cover braided wire and cable sets. The main challenge here rests with the sheath’s inability to protect the wires and/or cables from damage due to temperature and friction.
The former provides much more protection throughout a range of environmental threats such as moisture, abrasion, heat and others. It’s all about the stronger exterior with cable assemblies – heavy duty materials like shrink-wrapped thermoplastic, vinyl, and rubber help keep important conduction products safe and secure.
Wires and cables built specifically for operation even in some of the most extreme, industrial circumstances require strong and durable insulating material as they solve a number of challenges.
Oxidation reaction, for instance, is the nemesis of high-usage usage equipment like wires and cables. The process absolves metallic power through reduction. Water exposure accelerates damage and increases danger to personnel on the job. A cable harness assembly helps eliminate these issues via intensive design.
Electrical engineering protocols rest on organization – these types of systems are notorious for expanding levels of sophistication. Technical project workloads need to have a basic navigable component if sense is to be made of what needs to be accomplished and where. Cable assemblies rectifies this along with other logistical problems particular to the project.
Thus, the cable assembly serves three purposes: to protect wiring from wear and tear; to ensure system organization; and to protect other items from electricity.
