Introduction to Circular Cable Assemblies

Circular cable assemblies are used in numerous applications that require strong physical protection of cables and wires; from consumer goods to industrial process control, engineering, and medical equipment. They have been designed to provide simple yet effective ways of linking cables together that, in many cases, would otherwise remain isolated from each other. Circular cable assemblies typically connect in the same manner as other cable assemblies; a male and female connector—or similar connection mechanism—is used to create a connection between cables.

Applications of Circular Cable Assemblies

Circular cable assemblies are now used in virtually every application where cables and wires are in use. In consumer applications, such assemblies are commonly used in products such as cell phones, GPS devices, gaming consoles, and even some home entertainment systems. Industrial use of circular cable assemblies includes utilizing them in robotic systems, wiring systems, and connecting numerous sensors to control systems. In the medical industry, such assemblies are utilized for connecting devices such as ECG and MRI machines, X-ray equipment, and other electronic diagnostics.

Design Benefits

When purchasing or using a typical circular cable assembly, consumers benefit from the design. The caps—or wings—that connect to each end of the assembly ensure the cables are held reliably in place. As long as the cables are firmly clamped together and the connection is tight, the result is a tight seal that ultimately prevents corrosion and airborne debris from affecting the connection. Proper applications of circular cable assemblies can even allow systems to be "hot-plugged," which allows them to be exchanged and changed out without having to turn off the power source.

Working Principle

Circular cable assemblies work on the basic principle of making a secure, but flexible, connection between two cables. They are often used in applications where the tightness and flexibility of the connection are especially important. Depending on the application, they consist of either two half-shells that can be connected together or a longer shell with end caps and an internal strain relief. The connection is made by inserting the inner cable into the inner part of the assembly and connecting the individual wires of the cables to a connector. The type of connection used varies depending on the type of connector being used, but the principle is the same.

Assembly and Installation

Circular cable assemblies are usually assembled and installed in one of two ways. The first involves using a crimp tool to crimp a terminal to the end of the assembly, while the second utilizes a source of heat, such as hot glue, to permanently adhere the connector to the assembly. Both methods work well for most applications, although soldering is often the preferred method since it provides a more secure connection.

Types of Circular Cable Assemblies

Circular cable assemblies come in a variety of types and sizes. There are miniature and subminiature versions which are used in smaller consumer electronics, such as cell phones or gaming consoles. There are also larger circular cable assemblies which are used in applications such as industrial robotics or engineering systems. The size and type of cable assembly used will depend on the application and the size of the cables involved.

Conclusion

Circular cable assemblies are highly versatile and suitable for a wide variety of applications. They provide a secure yet flexible connection and can be easily assembled and installed. Because of their versatility, they can be found in everything from consumer electronics to industrial robotics to medical equipment. Circular cable assemblies are often the ideal choice when a reliable connection is desired.
