Cable harness

[1] The cables are bound together by a durable material such as rubber, vinyl, electrical tape, conduit, a weave of extruded string, or a combination thereof.

By constricting the wires into a non-flexing bundle, usage of space is optimized, and the risk of a short is decreased.

Mechanical engineering is the field that focuses on the physical parameters of a wire harness and its interaction with the environment it will endure during its lifetime.

This component considers the protective materials wire harnesses have like corrugated tubes, braided or silica sleeves.

This is achieved through the input of data about a circuit which one or more cable harnesses will be part of being programmed into the test board.

[10] The cable harnesses used in sound reinforcement and recording studios are called multicores, also known as snakes or looms.

Modern digital mixing consoles typically use a single twisted pair cable rather than a traditional analog multicore.

[12] [13] The IPC/WHMA-A-620E publication has standards for a wide range of elements within a cable harness, including but not limited to electrostatic discharge protection, conduit, installation and repairs, crimping, pull-test requirements, and other operations that are critical to the production and function of cable harnesses.
