Cable Assemblies.

Why this is relevant — HDMI assemblies share the high volume connector sourcing signal-integrity discipline this currency technology program required.

An Indian security-technology OEM requested pricing for a massive volume of specific connectors alongside their regular cable assemblies.

Challenge

Customer had strict cost targets (under $0.50/pc for specific data cables) and requested a 200,000-piece connector quote, requiring aggressive supply chain pricing.

Solution

Leveraged supplier network to quote the 200K connector volume and negotiated pricing on standard data cables to meet the sub-$0.50 target, balancing margin with long-term volume commitment.

Result

Won the high-volume connector RFQ and secured the long-term annual 5-10K cable assembly program.

Why this is relevant — HDMI assemblies share the alternative component validation signal-integrity discipline this thermal imaging program required.

Facing a supply chain shortage for a critical IPEX connector on a micro-coax assembly, an alternative component needed to be sourced and validated for a European sensing equipment manufacturer.

Challenge

Original IPEX connectors were out of stock, threatening the continuity of supply for the AWG#40 micro-coax cable assembly, with the customer explicitly stating it was impossible to receive cables with the correct connectors.

Solution

Sourced an alternative connector, manufactured 10 sample assemblies, and submitted them to the customer's technical team for rigorous functional testing and validation.

Result

The alternative connector samples passed the customer's testing with an approval, allowing production to continue and resolving the supply chain bottleneck.
