Why OEMs Choose Stantek for Custom Cable Assembly Manufacturing

As an experienced custom cable assembly manufacturer, Stantek focuses on contract manufacturing supported by controlled processes, technical expertise, and quality assurance. A properly engineered cable assembly ensures secure electrical connections, reduces signal loss, and enhances long-term performance across complex OEM systems.

Our cable assembly processes follow ISO 9001:2015 certified by Smithers Quality Assessments. View Certificate. Our team holds IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIT (Certified Interconnect Technician) and J-STD-001 CIT certifications – confirming that our manufacturing team meets the technical standard, not just that the company references it.

We are also DDTC registered and ITAR compliant with Cage Code 14EW7, supporting regulated defense and aerospace programs requiring U.S.-origin manufacturing and documented compliance.

Every custom cable assembly is manufactured with full traceability and undergoes 100% electrical testing to ensure consistent performance, safety, and compliance across all applications.

• Customization: Each custom cable assembly is engineered to meet specific application requirements, including conductor types, connectors, shielding, and routing configurations for seamless OEM integration.
• Engineering Support: Stantek provides initial design input and prototyping support to align performance requirements with manufacturability acting as an extension of your engineering team.
• Flexible Production: Our low-to-mid volume cable assembly manufacturing model scales from prototype builds through ongoing OEM production runs without minimum-order constraints.
• System Efficiency: A properly designed cable assembly reduces installation time, improves system organization, and minimizes connection errors across complex platforms.
• Durability: High-quality materials, insulation, and protective coverings ensure each assembly performs reliably under vibration, heat, and environmental exposure.
• Quality Assurance: Every custom cable assembly undergoes 100% electrical testing – continuity verification, insulation resistance checks, and circuit verification via Cirris test systems before shipment.
• Compliance: Our cable assembly solutions meet ISO 9001:2015, IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIT, J-STD-001 CIT, and applicable military standards. View Certificate.
