Cable Assemblies are the Practical Way to Tidy Up Your Office Space

Cable assemblies bind several wires or cables together into one, non-flexible bundle. These cable assemblies are safer, more practical and cheaper to install than loose cables.


Wires are an ubiquitous part of modern life. They are the overgrowing vines of the urban jungle. The arteries delivering binary bursts of data and news to the pumping heart of the digital revolution. And they don't half get in the way a lot. We trip over them. They get them tangled. When setting up a desktop computer or television set, many of us just end up shoving them down the back of the desk in an untidy mess; mortgaging our futures and trying not to think of when we’ll have to repay it by fighting through those wires the next time we want to plug in a printer or change monitors. Bespoke cable assemblies (also known as cable harnesses, wiring assemblies or wiring looms) help us tidy up this clutter; pinning back the vines so they are an easily managed feature and not an overgrowing mess.

Cable assemblies for those unfamiliar, are manufactured by binding together a number of wires and cables with clamps, electrical tapes or sleeves. This reduces the overall space taken up by cabling and allows multiple cables to be laid at once. Nowadays, they are commonly used in all sorts of context. They are often to be found in cars and automobiles, where a large number of wires have been fitted into a relatively small space. They are also used in computer rooms and server stacks, where there isn’t necessarily such a shortage of space, but where the sheer quantity of cables and wires about the place means that grouping together those performing related tasks can make organising the whole mess a lot easier.

Cable assemblies offer a whole heap of advantages over simply laying loose wires. We’ve already discussed the space saving and organisational opportunities, but there are also other benefits. Binding cables together offers increased resilience. They are better secured against such adversities as vibrations and abrasions; the combined strength of the bound cables gives them a shared strength akin to corded string. Cable assemblies also allow the cables to be easily bound up and away from potential areas of moisture or heat which might damage them: this can of course be done with single wires as well, but a cable assembly makes the job a lot quicker.

As the cables cannot flex so freely, the insulating sleeve about each one is less likely to become torn or to perish. This reduces the risk of shorts - because bare wires are less likely to be exposed to each other - and thus of resulting dangers, such as power outages and electrical fires. Cable assemblies can also be fitted inside a single sleeve, further reducing the risk of power shorts and (if the sleeve is flame retardant) of electrical fires.

Cable assemblies are also a sensible safety precaution. Wires and cables are a notorious trip hazard; a cable assembly binds several wires together, meaning there is now only one obstacle where there were once six or seven, and one which can be easily secured or tidied away. In busy offices, classrooms or IT rooms, it also allows for the quick and simple routing of power cables to one power outlet.

Cable assemblies take far less time to install than a myriad of individual wires and cables, cutting down on the labour costs of installation. It also means jobs requiring an electrician can be easily standardised.

Wires may be a necessary part of our digital world, but they don’t have to be a problem. Cable assemblies are more aesthetically pleasing, practical and safe. Bind your wires and tame the urban jungle.
