Custom Cable Assemblies
RF & Signal Solutions
meeting customer specific needs for exact applications
As a leading manufacturer of Interconnect Solutions
for both Signal and RF applications, FCT Electronics
also support custom cable assembly requirements
involving both FCT and non FCT Interconnect prod-
ucts.
Our process starts at design, initiated by FCT or by our
customer. FCT has the ability to model all electrical
performance characteristics if required to validate the
design through computer simulation.
Next, we focus on providing first articles or samples to
provide our customer with confidence in what we wish
to supply them. We are happy to build to print or offer
cost reduced alternative solutions.
Finally we have all the capabilities to launch in the pro-
duction regardless of the volume required, from 10pcs
to 10million pcs.
FCT maintains a North American Cable Manufacturing
facility in Torrington, CT which supports customer
across applications including Telecom, Broadband,
Medical, Industrial Control, Test & Measurement and
Military and Aerospace. The facility is fully capable of
supporting quick turn requirements as well as a full
range of test and conditioning specifications.
FCT also has its own “Low Cost” manufacturing facility
in Thailand and itself can produce cables in volume of
1,000 and up. This facility is fully functional with all in
house cable conditioning and test equipment.
Often, by their nature, cable assembly requirements
are custom, however, FCT does have many standard
well maintain processes and documentation standards
to guarantee the high levels of quality required by our
customers. In addition, FCT does produce some
standard cable assemblies that are both available via
distribution and direct from the factory for both com-
mon RF and Signal configurations.
FCT Electronics is very proud to be associated with
the supply of cabled products to some of the electron-
ics industries major players.

D-Sub Assemblies
FCT’s extensive range of D -Sub’s in both
Standard and High Density support a
wide array of applications, especially
when mixed with alternative technolo-
gies. FCT’s also has one of the indus-
tries best ranges of Mixed Signal Con-
nector ranges.
Power Assemblies
FCT finds that often, many of its custom-
ers also require simple jumper cables or
moderately complex power or signal
harness assemblies. FCT possess a full
array of applicators for Molex, Tyco and
others to support the manufacture of
assemblies with these components.
