Electronic Cable Assemblies

From Meridian Cable

Electronic cable assemblies are found on medical products, military equipment, industrial controls and machinery, and all kinds of consumer electronics. Electronic cables can be defined as cables that transmit control signals or information, or that supply low current power typically below 5 amps. Often the power is DC by sometimes it can be AC, but in either case for electronic cable assemblies the power is low.

Products & Services
Coiled Cords and Cables
Coiled cords and cables have a spring-like form that allows them to stretch and bend with minimal stress on the wire. They can be extended to a length several times greater than their at-rest length, but return to their original length when released.
Multiconductor Cables
Multiconductor cables contain two or more conductors. Each conductor consists of a single wire or a combination of wires.
AC Power Cords
AC power cords carry alternating current from one area to another. There are many different standard plugs and voltages, depending upon the country.
Audio Cables
Audio cables transmit audible signals such as voice and music. They are designed to minimize noise and interference that can impair sound quality.  Audio cables connect an audio source such as a stereo or microphone to an audio receiver or output such as speakers. Most products are shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), typically with a foil and/or braided shield.
