Custom Cables

Custom Cables

With over 30 standard insulation and jacket materials and a wide range of approvals and manufacturing capabilities, we work closely with our customers to find smart solutions that match their application and budget.

Every aspect of the conductor, screen, insulation and jacket can be tailored to meet your specific needs − whether that be simple wires in non-standard sizes, coaxial cables with odd impedance requirements or complex multi-core hybrid cables.

By choosing Habia custom cables, you don’t just get purpose-built solutions with functional properties such as greater durability, more flexibility or smaller size. You’ll also see the benefits through your applications, including improved performance, cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

Whatever your cable needs, we can build your perfect match.

and many more.

Find out more below about our capabilities, the services and techniques we offer for designing, manufacturing and testing your ideal cable harness or system.
Fibre Optic Cable Systems

Fibre Optic Cable Systems

The communication applications of today demand higher performance, quality and reliability than ever before. To meet these requirements, fibre optics are often incorporated into cable harnesses or cable systems.

Fibre optic cable systems work by transmitting information in the form of pulses of light - or photons - along a glass or plastic fibre, no thicker than a hair shaft in diameter, and can offer greater speed and bandwidth than copper cable solutions. Fibre optics also experience less interference and signal degradation than copper, while being both thinner and lighter.

At Habia Cable, we offer pure fibre or hybrid harnesses (made with both fibre optics and copper) to ensure high-quality connectivity over long distances. The manufacturing of fibre optic harnesses is demanding, requiring a high level of precision and care to prevent contamination by dust and other particles.
Development & Testing

Development & Testing

When designing a custom cable harness or system, we take pride in knowing your product will deliver under challenging conditions − in both performance and durability. That is why we test and evaluate all of our customised cable products, ensuring are performing as expected before they reach the customer.

From prototype development to the final manufactured cable harnesses, we have the resources and infrastructure to undertake all the necessary tests to assure premium quality cable-connector integration. All the required equipment - including pressure tanks and tools for mechanical resistance tests - are in place to perform the inspections.

We also have a number of manual, computerised, and automatic appliances to perform electrical testing and evaluation. Electrical testing and visual inspection are both performed as standard practice on each and every finalised product.
Moulding & Surface Treatment

Moulding & Surface Treatment

At Habia, our experts use two moulding techniques: two-component low-pressure injection and high-pressure injection.

We have also developed different surface treatment techniques (including plasma and chemical treatment) for polyethylene and polyurethane based materials.

These methods allow us to design reliable underwater harnesses for medium and high depths with complex geometry and functionality. It’s also possible to use FEP moulding and various potting materials for the sealing of connectors, protecting against different environmental conditions.
Custom Spiral Cable Solutions

Custom Spiral Cable Solutions

Coiled cables (also known as spiral cables) are characterised by their spring-like shape, that can be used to transmit power, data and more.

As well as being visually appealing, the spring form of coiled cables allows them to be extended and retracted repeatedly without causing damage to the wires inside - a perfect solution for connecting free-moving parts or objects.

At Habia, we use custom coiled cables in many of our cable harness designs, for applications such as communication headsets, extendible radio masts or in the connections between trucks and trailers.
HEW Flat Cables

HEW Flat Cables

A wide range of different applications requires cable solutions with extremely small bending radiuses and a highly efficient cable setup. This is where flat cables made by HEW offer the ideal solution. We develop and manufacture flat cables that are precisely tailored to your unique requirements and needs. From simple, symmetrical ribbon cables to complex hybrid constructions, HEW is your ideal partner.
Heating Cables

Heating Cables

Heating cables are always necessary when systems or materials need to be protected from the cold or when production processes require certain temperatures.

For these purposes, HEW offers a wide range of heating cables, heating lines and pipe trace heating systems for a wide variety of applications. By converting energy into heat, our heating cables primarily protect fluid-carrying lines from frost. Our heating cables are also able to maintain constant temperatures in heat engineering processes.
High-Temperature Cables

High-Temperature Cables

It can get quite hot on our planet. For example, the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone reaches water temperatures of up to 237 degrees Celsius. And in Hawaii, lava temperatures of around 1,200 degrees Celsius have already been measured during volcanic eruptions of Kilauea or Mauna Loa.

While the temperatures mentioned above are of natural origin, the temperatures to which cables and wires are exposed in industrial environments often reach similar ranges in the environment of welding robots, inside production plants or heating elements. Here, particularly heat-resistant cables and wires are required that can fulfill their intended purpose to 100%, even under harsh and adverse conditions
Ultra-Flex Cables

Ultra-Flex Cables

Whether for data transmission, energy supply, signal transmission, or as a hybrid cable with combined functions, ultra-flexible cables by HEW are used wherever moving appliances are connected and/or there is only limited space available for installation.

Based on 50 years of experience in development and production, we offer our customers individual solutions based on the latest state of the art in material and production technology. With 50 years of experience in production and development, our customers benefit from state-of-the-art materials and technology tailored to their unique situation.
High-Voltage Cables

High-Voltage Cables

As a leading expert on technology and innovation for automotive manufacturers and system suppliers, HEW KABEL specializes in the development and manufacture of high voltage cables for electric mobility.

Our HV cables are extremely flexible, extraordinarily temperature-resistant and mechanically highly resilient. The wide range of possible cross-sections makes possible a variety of many different applications.
HEW Hybrid Cables

HEW Hybrid Cables

Whether industrial robots, machine tools or medical equipment for patient care − nowadays operational processes demand a multitude of electrical cables in the smallest of spaces. In addition to the classic power line, there is a need for data lines such as control lines, servo lines, BUS lines or signal lines.

Instead of handling different individual cables, our hybrid cables enable multifunctional combinations of different types of cables under a common sheath. Thus, for example, energy, optical and electrical data, signals, gases or liquids can be transmitted simultaneously in a hybrid cable specially designed for you.
Medical Cables

Medical Cables

Examinations and treatments with innovative medical technology are an important prerequisite in maintaining our health. Thanks to the latest technologies, our doctors can nowadays detect pathological changes early and with enough precision to treat and monitor the disease. In this context, medical cables perform numerous tasks, some of which are absolutely vital.
HEW Miniature Cables

HEW Miniature Cables

HEW develops and produces application-specific miniature cables with cross-sections up to AWG56 (ø ≈ 0.0125 mm) as well as micro-coaxial cables up to AWG46 (ø ≈ 0.0399 mm).
Sensor Cables

Sensor Cables

The world is growing more connected and smarter. Sensors are part of the technological basis and are used wherever physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, force, acceleration or filling level are electronically measured, tested, monitored and automated. The sensor measures an actual value and forwards it to a data processing system via a sensor cable.

A prerequisite for the absolute reliability of the overall system is the quality of the individual components. For example, the measurement results of the sensors must be transmitted through the sensor cable to the processing system without interference.
