New England Wire Technologies Multi-conductor Cables
New England Wire Technologies is a world leader in the design and manufacture of multiconductor cable for specialty applications. Our multiconductor cables are used in diverse applications such as medical electronics, robotics, defense electronics, power distribution, and computer peripherals. Our broad range of manufacturing capabilities and wide selection of conductor and insulation materials means every multiconductor cable we produce will inherently contain such characteristics such as extra flexibility, extended flex life, miniaturization, high/low temperature performance and resistance to oils and corrosive chemicals.
Specifications:
Miniature Cables Conductors as small as 42 AWG are integrated to create high performance miniature cables for ultrasound probes and other applications requiring minimum overall diameter.
Ultraflexible Cables The combination of finely stranded conductors and thin-wall extrusions allows the production of cables with extreme flexibility. Used extensively in medical electronics for applications such as patient monitoring and electro-surgical devices, ultraflexible cables are ideally suited where the unrestricted motion of an instrument is vital. Ultraflexible multi-conductor cables of up to one inch in diameter can also be manufactured for power distribution requirements
Extended Flexlife Cables High strength alloys, in both stranded and tinsel conductor configurations, combined with abrasion resistant plastic insulators result in cable products with superior flexlife characteristics. Extended flexlife cables are typically specified for applications where high reliability in repeated motion operations is required. Robotics and reusable medical probe devices are two such applications.
Vented Cables Cables with multiple insulated conductors plus one or more vent tubes can be produced to meet specialty requirements. Vent tubes can be utilized to pass liquids, gases or other cable components such as fiber optic filaments. Typical applications include pressure transducers and microsurgical instruments.
Low-noise Cables Cable constructions that help reduce or eliminate internal noise generation can be manufactured to exacting specifications for a wide range of applications including EEG,EKG,pacemaker and oximetry.
High Temperature Cables Insulations such as FEP, PFA, ETFE and silicone rubber offer high temperature protection up to 250° Centigrade. Applications include electrosurgical products which must undergo repeated autoclaving and missile guidance systems which are subjected to extreme temperature and mechanical stresses.
Bonded/Woven Cables PVC-insulated single and multi-conductor cables can be bonded together to create extraflexible ribbon cables. A wide range of woven configurations is possible integrating a variety of conductor materials and insulation plastics.
