Wire Harnesses vs. Cable Assemblies
Cable harness assemblies play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of electrical systems. If you’re new to this field and aren’t sure of the difference, here’s a quick rundown of what typically separates “wire harnesses” from “cable assemblies”. Each configuration is unique and sometimes the line because a “wire harness” and “cable assembly” may be blurry, but this should be helpful if you aren’t sure what your product, facility or machine needs.
A wire harness is typically simple, with a few or several main wires in a specific configuration per harness. These are best for keeping costs down when there is low risk of damage to the wire harness from environmental or physical threats, as cable assemblies are typically more durable but cost more to produce. Cables are more expensive because they consist of multiple wires contained within a protective covering, so a cable assembly containing multiple cables will almost always be more pricey than a wire harness even if the total number of cables vs wires is the same.
The advantage of assemblies made up of multiple cables is that they are more durable thanks to the additional protective coverings, plus the wires within can all help carry power or data and provide greater capacity than comparable wire harnesses with just one wire each can. However, it all depends on the type of cable or wiring being used, what is being transferred, and what loss prevention materials are in place to prevent energy or packet loss. Our cable experts are the best to choose if you’re in the initial phase of product development, and need help identifying what cable assembly or wire harness solution will be best for solving the regulatory or performance issues you are dealing with.

Wire Harnesses and Cable Assemblies – Our Expertise and Certifications for Both
Quality control measures are essential in the production of cable harness assemblies and wire harnesses to prevent failures. Technical Cable Applications holds to the most current IPC/WHMA standard for quality control of cable assemblies and wire harnesses, which is IPC/WHMA-A-620 Standard Revision E. We are also ISO 9001:2015 certified for wiring and cable assembly, which is an internationally recognized standard for excellence, and certified with UL for the United States and Canada as well for cable and wiring assembly work.
Finally, we are officially registered with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) through the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (DTCC) which allows us to work directly with defense and military contractors and provide cable harnesses and wiring harness assemblies to them. Cable harness assemblies are critical components in the aerospace and defense sectors, and we are proud to be officially registered as an ITAR manufacturer so we can provide custom wire harness assemblies and cables on-demand for companies and agencies in these industries.
Custom Cable Assembly and Wire Harness Solutions
Choosing a reliable manufacturer like Technical Cable Applications for cable harness assemblies and wiring harnesses ensures you get high-quality and dependable products, without the hassle of engineering and manufacturing wire and cable solutions in-house at your own company. We also offer nearshore manufacturing, thanks to our partner facilities in Guadalajara which we use to reduce and eliminate reliance on offshore parts and production wherever possible.
This saves a great deal of hassle with tariffs, helps us improve quality control, and lowers our MOQs which makes it easier for us to prototype and manufacture assembly concepts that are not yet in-market and need additional harness testing. Partnering with us allows your company to take advantage of nearshore manufacturing and avoid the quality control and tariff issues that can sometimes arise when working with companies in distant offshore destinations, not to mention faster shipping.
