There are significant differences between wire harness and standard cables in multiple aspects, which determine their applicability in different scenarios.
Standard cables are usually products with relatively simple structures and uniform specifications. It is generally composed of conductors and insulation layers, and some cables may also have simple shielding layers or sheaths. Its main function is to transmit electrical energy or signals, and it follows fixed standards and parameters during production, with relatively uniform specifications. For example, common household power cords, network cables, etc. are basically single type cables produced according to established standards.
And wire harness is a customized integrated solution with a more complex composition. It integrates and assembles various types of cables, connectors, terminals, protective layers, and other components according to specific needs. By reasonable layout and fixation, these components form an orderly whole that can simultaneously meet the needs of multiple different functions, just like car wiring harnesses, which integrate multiple cables that transmit different signals and power, matched with various connectors, to meet the complex circuit system requirements of cars.
The function of standard cables is relatively single, mainly focusing on a certain type of transmission. For example, power cables focus on energy transmission, while network cables are used for data signal transmission, and their performance indicators are relatively fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust according to different complex environments or diverse needs.
Due to its customized integration, wire harness has diverse and comprehensive functions. It can not only achieve multiple power and signal transmissions simultaneously, but also optimize and adjust transmission performance according to actual application scenarios. For example, in the aerospace industry, wiring harnesses need to have high reliability, anti-interference and other characteristics. Through customized design, they can meet these stringent functional requirements; In industrial automation equipment, wiring harnesses can optimize the stability of signal transmission and the continuity of power supply based on the operating characteristics of the equipment.
