About Cable Associates
Cable Associates was founded in 1989 in Archbald, Pennsylvania, as a U.S.-based cable manufacturer focused on quality, competitive pricing, customer service, and quick turnaround. The company began with a staff of under 10 and has grown to over 100 employees while maintaining its original core principles. The company specializes in custom cable assemblies, including wire harnesses, fiber optic, copper, and RF cable assemblies, as well as contract manufacturing services. Its production capabilities encompass cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, fiber polishing, epoxy dispensing, and comprehensive testing using equipment such as Schleuniger and Komax cut-and-strip machines, TE and Molex crimp presses, and Viavi optical test systems. All electrical assemblies undergo 100% continuity and signal integrity testing, while fiber optic and RF assemblies are tested to customer-specific requirements. Cable Associates serves a diverse set of industries: military and aerospace (supplying defense contractors such as Leonardo DRS and Lockheed Martin), communications and telecom (supporting broadband expansion, FTTX, and data center upgrades), industrial, utilities (transmission and distribution networks), energy (wind, solar, electrical), medical (UL-rated assemblies), automotive (UL-rated harnesses), and agriculture (vehicle and machinery harnesses). The company attributes its 35-plus-year customer retention to its unwavering commitment to U.S. manufacturing, quality certifications (AS9003, ITAR, UL, IPC standards), and rapid turnaround. It also holds an MMC Certification for hyperscale AI connectivity and is an authorized distributor for Microcare Sticklers fiber optic cleaning products.
