Custom cable and harness assembly is the build of wire harnesses and cable assemblies to a customer print. RLX Solutions builds these for automotive, medical, robotics, aerospace, industrial, and consumer applications, to IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship.

01 — Overview

High-capacity custom wiring, built for the application.

From low-volume prototypes to recurring high-mix production runs, we build wiring harnesses and cable assemblies engineered to the mechanical, electrical, and environmental demands of the end product. Our team operates as an extension of your engineering group — advising on connector selection, conductor sizing, shielding strategy, and service-life performance before a single wire is cut.

We specialize in medium-complexity through high-reliability builds: multi-conductor cables, overmolded assemblies, high-voltage EV harnesses, EMI-shielded interconnects for robotics and automation, waterproof assemblies for outdoor and marine use, and regulated-industry programs where traceability and documentation matter as much as the build.

Every program is backed by integrated material sourcing, CAD-driven schematic control, pull-test and continuity-verified production, and a quality system aligned to ISO 9001:2015 with program-specific alignment to IATF 16949, ISO 13485, IPC/WHMA-A-620, RoHS, and REACH.

03 — Terminology

Wiring harness or cable assembly? We build both.

The terms get used interchangeably but describe different constructions. Knowing the difference helps you specify what you actually need.

Definition / 01

Wiring Harness

An assembly of insulated conductors bundled together — typically with tape, lacing, loom, convoluted tubing, or sleeving — that routes power and signals along a defined path with multiple branches and terminations.

  • Multi-branch geometry; serves several circuits at once
  • Flexible protection — tape, loom, braid, conduit
  • Ideal for interior or protected routing
  • Typical use: vehicle dash, appliance, machinery interior
Definition / 02

Cable Assembly

One or more conductors housed inside a unified jacket — typically PVC, polyurethane, TPE, or rubber — with a defined connector at each end. Built as a single robust interconnect for demanding environments.

  • Linear geometry — point A to point B
  • Continuous environmental protection from the jacket
  • Ideal for exterior, harsh, or user-interfaced use
  • Typical use: sensor cables, power leads, patch cables
04 — Industries

Cross-industry experience, applied to your program.

We bring institutional knowledge of standards, connector preferences, and reliability expectations specific to your market.

08 — FAQ

Answers to the questions buyers ask first.

Can you build a harness to our exact specifications?
Yes — the vast majority of our output is custom-to-print. Share your drawing package, BOM, or even a physical sample, and our engineering team produces a manufacturing-ready build package. Custom shielding, flex ratings, connectors, and environmental protection are all standard options.
What are typical prototype and production lead times?
Prototypes are typically delivered within 7 days of drawing approval. Mass production runs are generally 15–20 days after first-article sign-off, though complex or long-lead-material programs may require additional time. We commit to a lead time with every quote.
What industry certifications and standards do you meet?
We are UL Listed (File E466570) and ISO 9001:2015 certified (Cert. C712619 by DNV). Harness and cable assembly production aligns with IATF 16949 for automotive, ISO 13485 for medical devices, IPC/WHMA-A-620 for harness workmanship, and EU RoHS and REACH directives. Additional regional certifications are available on request.
Do you sign NDAs before quoting?
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs as a standard part of the initial consultation, and we routinely hold NDAs with long-term clients. Your drawings, BOMs, and proprietary designs are protected from the moment you send them.
Can we receive a quality inspection report during production?
Yes. Inspection reporting is one of our core deliverables — first-article, in-process, and final-inspection reports are available with photos and measurements. For regulated industries we provide the additional documentation your quality system requires (COC, test data, material certifications).
Do you support both low-volume prototypes and high-volume production?
Yes. We scale from single-digit prototype runs through recurring mid- and high-volume production programs in the tens of thousands of units. Our workflow is designed for a smooth transition from first-article to sustained production without redoing setup.
What connectors and materials do you work with?
We work fluently with the major connector lines — Molex, JST, TE, Amphenol, Deutsch, Hirose, Souriau, ITT Cannon, and Fakra — and we source specialty and mil-spec connectors through approved channels. Cable materials include PVC, TPE, TPU, PUR, silicone, Teflon / PTFE, and rubber jackets in standard and custom constructions.
Can you reverse-engineer an existing or obsolete harness?
Yes. Send us a sample (or a clear photo and dimensional data), and we'll develop a drawing package, source equivalent components, and produce replacements — a common request for legacy equipment, aftermarket support, and programs that have lost their original documentation.
How do I get a quote?
Send your drawing, BOM, or a description of the application through the contact form or email sales@rlxsolutions.com. Expect a line-item quote with lead time within 12 hours during the business week.
