High-temperature connectors and wiring: which families can withstand extreme environments
When wiring is used near motors, resistors, ovens, heating systems, industrial machinery, or any other heat source, choosing a cable simply because it has the correct cross-section and number of conductors is not enough. Temperature affects insulation, casings, seals, connectors, contacts, and even the mechanical behavior of the assembly. A component that functions perfectly at […]
Shielded vs. Unshielded Cable: When Does Shielding Really Matter?
One question often comes up during the specification phase of a custom cable assembly: do I need a shielded cable or not? The usual answer is “it depends”. But it depends on very specific factors, and understanding them helps avoid two equally costly mistakes: using shielding where it is not needed, or failing to use […]
UL, CE and RoHS certifications in wiring: what they mean, how they differ and which one you need
Three acronyms. One very specific problem. When a wiring project crosses borders — or simply reaches a demanding customer — questions about certifications always come up at the worst moment: when the product is already designed. UL, CE and RoHS are frequently mentioned together, but they are not the same thing and they don’t work […]

How the Middle East conflict affects the global logistics chain and cable supply
The global logistics chain is sensitive to so-called “chokepoints”: sea routes and energy corridors that, when strained, trigger a domino effect on transport, insurance, availability, and lead times. In recent weeks, escalation linked to the Middle East has put the spotlight on that fragility again: increases in insurance premiums have been reported, “high-risk” areas for […]
