Northwire expanded its family of ruggedized hybrid electric vehicle charging cables, which feature power, signal, and data custom composite options in any AWG size, to suit all electric vehicle applications in today’s market. While NWI’s Next Gen EV cable suite is compatible with commercial and residential charging applications, its Second Gen EV charging cable will include the same benefits and expand the geographic scope with the UL – cUL – cULus listing that indicates compliance with Canadian, US, and Mexican requirements. Based upon the strong demand for NWI EV cables, Northwire’s goal is to ensure that its Second Gen EV charging cables will be one of the first on the market as soon as the UL listing is granted.
HUBER+SUHNER announced its new MASTERLINE Ultimate SC solution – a highly compact plug-and-play fiber optic cable system that is easy to deploy. It is an ideal solution for the next generation of remote radio heads.

GTK has launched its new mobile-friendly website. The expanded website provides comprehensive details on cable assemblies, connectors, optoelectronics, and manufacturing solutions provided by the company. The new responsive design ensures ease of use for tablet and smartphone users, but the site now provides existing customers and new web visitors more information about the company and its capabilities. It provides specifications on products as well as information on the levels of customization GTK offers, which is important as 95% of its customers require some level of customization for product designs.
MJM Industries Inc., an electronic contract manufacturer, has added a laser wire-stripping machine to its operations. This machine precisely removes the insulating cover from wires to prevent damage to the underlying wire. Laser wire-stripping machines are ideal for very-fine-gauge wires because no damage occurs to the conductor. Applications range from aerospace and aircraft power leads to wires for dental and medical drills, hearing aids, catheters, pacemakers, ultrasound transducers, and other devices. The laser-stripping machine is a computer-controlled machine, much like a CNC router, which uses a laser to precisely burn off the insulation of the wire. The system consists of a laser, an optical system, controls, application tooling, and safety barriers, which can strip varying material types and dimensions.
Bishop & Associates announced the availability of its newest research report, “World Automotive Connector Market,” which provides a quantitative analysis by region of the world, country, application, and connector type. With a market share of more than 22%, automotive connectors represent the largest market sector for connectors. It also has been one of the fastest growing sectors, a result of both increased vehicle production around the world and growing broad-based applications of electronics to control and monitor functions throughout the vehicle.
