The conductor layer consists of one or more metal wires or conductive materials that carry electrical signals or power within the cable assembly. Our conductors are typically made of materials such as copper or aluminum, chosen for their high conductivity.
The insulation layer surrounds the conductors and provides electrical insulation to prevent contact between the conductors or between the conductors and the outer layers. It protects against short circuits and ensures signal integrity by minimizing signal loss or interference.
The shielding layer is an optional layer that protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI). It consists of a conductive material, such as a metallic foil or braided wire, that forms a barrier around the conductors, effectively blocking external electromagnetic signals from interfering with the internal signals.
The jacket or sheath layer is the outermost layer of the cable assembly, providing mechanical protection and environmental resistance. We typically use materials like PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), or polyethylene (PE). The jacket protects the internal layers from physical damage, moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.

Suppose your company wants unique finishing details or customized labeling. In that case, our team can also add custom colors, lacing, stamping, and circuit IDs to your products, along with custom labeling and barcoding on the packaging. PGF Technology uses a combination of automation and manual assembly to produce high-quality, complex parts. Our new machinery allows fully automated wire processing for replicable results across larger production runs.
Strip the outer jacket of the cable using appropriate tools to expose the individual wires or conductors within. This step ensures access to the conductors for termination.
Trim and prepare the exposed conductors by stripping the insulation from the ends to achieve a clean and consistent surface. This enables proper electrical contact and connection with the connectors.
Attach the connectors to the cable ends, ensuring the proper alignment and orientation. This step may involve crimping, soldering, or other methods depending on the connector type and assembly requirements.
If the cable assembly includes shielding, terminate and connect the shielding to the appropriate ground points or connectors. This ensures effective shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and maintains signal integrity.
Perform testing and verification of the cable assembly to ensure proper continuity, electrical performance, and functionality. This may involve checking for shorts, opens, or other defects using continuity testers, multimeters, or specialized testing equipment.
Apply insulation materials, such as heat shrink tubing or insulating tape, to cover and protect the exposed conductors and connections. Additionally, incorporate strain relief mechanisms, such as clamps or molded boots, to prevent stress on the cable and connectors.
Conduct a thorough visual inspection of the completed cable assembly to check for any physical defects, such as misalignment, loose connections, or inadequate insulation. Ensure that the cable assembly meets the required specifications and quality standards.
Apply labels or markings to the cable assembly for identification, including information such as part numbers, serial numbers, or other relevant details. This helps with inventory management and traceability.
Cable assemblies find extensive use across various industries and applications. Whether they’re enabling communication networks, facilitating medical equipment connectivity, or powering industrial machinery, cable assemblies play a vital role in efficient and reliable operations across diverse industries.
At PGF Technology, our skilled and knowledgeable team conducts routine inspections and continuity testing to identify the following types of potential defects in manufactured components:
With advanced testing equipment, we can verify the integrity of wire connections in our custom cable assemblies, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
WIRE HARNESS / CABLE PROCESS
Each wire termination is subjected to a calibrated tensile force to verify the mechanical integrity of every crimp joint before the assembly ships.
Using our Cirris tester, every conductor path is electrically verified — ensuring no open circuits, shorts, or miswired connections reach your product.
Inspectors review each completed harness for routing accuracy, connector seating, insulation condition, and proper labeling across the full assembly.
PCBA PROCESS
High-resolution cameras automatically scan every completed board, detecting solder bridges, missing components, and misalignments without manual intervention.
Trained technicians manually review each board for workmanship quality, component orientation, and assembly details that automated systems may not catch.
One transposed connection can make an entire assembly non-functional — or damage downstream equipment. Continuity testing catches miswiring at the source.
Every electrical pathway is verified to confirm complete circuit continuity and proper signal flow across all connections on the finished board.
All of our Made-in-the-USA complex cable assemblies adhere to strict regulatory standards. The following certifications represent our commitment to providing the highest level of safety, quality, and reliability:
After conducting a final functional and visual inspection, we deliver products for seamless installation into the intended devices or systems.
Cable assemblies find extensive use across various industries and applications. They are crucial components in sectors such as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics, providing essential connectivity and signal transmission for data, power, and control purposes. Whether it’s enabling communication networks, supporting automotive electrical systems, facilitating medical equipment connectivity, or powering industrial machinery, cable assemblies play a vital role in ensuring efficient and reliable operations across diverse industries.

PGF Technology Group, Inc. has been serving the needs of our valued customers for over 50 years with top-quality custom cable assemblies and services. As an electronic manufacturing solutions provider, we build to spec with expert Design for Manufacturability (DFM) guidance. Request a quote today to discover how our reliable assemblies can meet the demands of your next project.
PGF has the technical capability to manufacture a wide range of interconnect solutions, ranging from simple point-to-point wire leads to highly complex, multi-breakout wire harnesses. Our expertise includes ribbon cables, coaxial assemblies, heavy-duty power cables, and multi-conductor signal cables. Whether your project requires standard industrial connectors or specialized military-grade components, our automated equipment and skilled technicians are equipped to handle diverse specifications.
Yes. We understand that speed-to-market is critical. PGF Technology Group offers dedicated support for rapid prototyping, allowing you to test and refine your designs before moving into full-scale production. While we are built to handle high-volume manufacturing, our flexible production lines allow us to support mid-to-low volume runs with the same level of precision and quality control.
Quality is at the core of everything we build. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified and our technicians are trained to IPC-A-620 standards, the industry benchmark for cable and wire harness fabrication. We perform 100% electrical testing on every assembly to ensure continuity and proper pin-out configuration. Additionally, we conduct pull-force testing and visual inspections throughout the manufacturing process to guarantee long-term reliability in the field.
Absolutely. Our engineering team often collaborates with clients during the design phase. By reviewing your bill of materials (BOM) and assembly drawings, we can suggest alternative components or simplified routing methods that reduce material costs and labor time without compromising performance. Our goal is to make your assembly as efficient and cost-effective to produce as possible.
In high-interference environments—such as medical imaging suites, industrial automation floors, or military communication zones—maintaining signal integrity is critical. PGF provides comprehensive shielding solutions, including aluminum foil shielding for high-frequency protection and tinned copper braiding for superior mechanical strength and low-frequency EMI/RFI suppression. We also specialize in proper 360° shield termination at the connector to prevent “antenna effects” and ensure your assembly meets strict FCC or military-grade electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.
