Custom Copper Cable Assemblies

Y.C. Cable manufactures custom copper cable assemblies for OEM power, signal, data, control, RF, networking, and equipment interconnect applications.

Assemblies are manufactured according to customer-approved drawings, BOMs, conductor and cable specifications, connector part numbers, pinouts, shielding requirements, dimensions, and testing criteria.

Copper is used in many different cable constructions, but electrical performance depends on the complete conductor geometry, insulation, shielding, connector system, cable length, and application requirements—not on conductor material alone.

Copper Cable Assembly Types

Copper-conductor cable assemblies may include:

• Multi-conductor cable assemblies
• Power cable assemblies
• Signal cable assemblies
• Control cables
• Twisted-pair cables
• Ethernet cable assemblies
• Coaxial and RF cable assemblies
• Flat ribbon cable assemblies
• Internal equipment cables
• Connector-based OEM cables

For power-focused applications, visit Power Cable Assemblies.

For RF and coaxial applications, visit RF Cable Assemblies.

For flat parallel-conductor configurations, visit Flat Ribbon Cable Assemblies.

Copper Conductor Requirements

Cable construction may be defined by requirements including:

• Conductor size
• Conductor count
• Solid or stranded construction
• Bare or plated conductor when specified
• Strand configuration
• Insulation material
• Cable geometry
• Shielding
• Jacket material
• Cable diameter
• Flexibility
• Temperature requirement

The exact conductor and cable specification should follow the approved product design.

Power, Signal & Data Applications

Power Connections

Copper power cable assemblies should be defined around voltage, current, conductor size, insulation, termination, cable length, and operating environment.

Signal & Control Connections

Signal and control cables may require specific conductor arrangements, pinouts, grounding, shielding, and connector configurations.

Data Connections

Data performance depends on the complete cable construction and interface specification.

For Ethernet-specific designs, visit Ethernet Cable Assemblies.

RF Connections

Coaxial copper cable assemblies require project-specific impedance, frequency, connector, cable, length, and RF test requirements.

Visit RF Cable Assemblies for RF-focused projects.

Connectors & Terminations

Custom copper cable assemblies may use customer-approved:

• Crimp terminals
• Board-to-wire connectors
• Circular connectors
• Power connectors
• RF connectors
• Ethernet connectors
• IDC connectors
• D-sub connectors
• Customer-specified connector systems

Exact manufacturer and part numbers should be included in the BOM whenever available.

Shielding & Grounding

Depending on the application, cable assemblies may require:

• Foil shielding
• Braided shielding
• Drain wires
• Shield termination
• Grounding
• Shielded connector systems
• Customer-defined EMI/RFI requirements

Shielding requirements should be based on the electrical design and operating environment.

Mechanical & Environmental Requirements

The approved design may also define:

• Cable length
• Bend radius
• Routing space
• Repeated movement
• Vibration
• Abrasion
• Temperature
• Moisture
• Oil or chemical exposure
• Strain relief
• Connector orientation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a copper cable assembly?

A copper cable assembly uses copper-based conductors within a finished cable or wire assembly terminated with connectors, terminals, or other components according to defined electrical and mechanical requirements.

Are all copper cable assemblies suitable for high-speed data?

No. Data performance depends on the complete cable geometry, impedance, shielding, connectors, length, interface, and testing requirements.

Can Y.C. Cable manufacture copper power cables?

Yes. For power-specific requirements, visit Power Cable Assemblies.

Can you manufacture copper Ethernet or RF cables?

Yes, when the applicable cable, connector, electrical, and testing specifications are provided. Visit Ethernet Cable Assemblies or RF Cable Assemblies for those product categories.
