Nothing works until power and signal arrive. We build the harnesses, cable assemblies, and box builds that carry them, for hardware that doesn't get a second try.
Forty-two connector families in regular production, plus the one your program specified in 2009 that nobody stocks anymore. Hover the map. Don't know the part number? Send the mating half.
A harness is a thousand decisions. We make every one on purpose.
That’s what craft means here: intentional. The branch length, the crimp height, where the shield lands. Every choice made by someone who knew why it mattered.
It’s the difference between a harness that works on the bench and one that still works in year eight, at temperature, under vibration, after somebody’s serviced it twice.
Multi-branch, shielded and unshielded. Molded breakouts, braided and convoluted jacketing, laser-marked ID, and branch geometry that fits the chassis the first time.
Coax and RF. High-current power. Fine-pitch signal. Terminated to MIL-circular, LEMO, Deutsch, TE, Molex, and JST families.
Chassis and panel wiring, backplane integration, potted and sealed assemblies, mechanical fit-up, and functional test before it ships.
First articles in days. Then the same operators and the same documented process at volume. No transfer. No requalification.
Most harness problems are design problems. We catch them before the first crimp.In every quote

Certification is the floor, not the pitch. Every assembly ships with a record behind it.
“KCM Cable & Manufacturing is a fantastic resource for any company seeking custom cable production.”
“KCM has been nothing but excellent service for us… their quality is TOP notch.”
“KCM sourced the connector, designed a cable that we consider an upgrade to the original.”
“KCM makes quality products at a very competitive price and delivers on time.”
A print, a schematic, a wire list, a photo, or the assembly itself. If it's controlled, call first and we'll set up secure transfer.
Two business days. Price, lead time, and anything in the design we'd change before building.
Built, tested, documented. You get the assembly, an inspection report, and build photos. Approve it and we run.

Airframe and ground support. MIL-spec circulars, shielded runs, program documentation.
Launch, bus, and ground station. Small quantities, long memories, zero tolerance for rework.
High-flex power and signal for actuated joints, sensor stacks, and drives that never stop moving.
Precision assemblies, revision-locked process, and the traceability an audit expects.
Fab tooling, ATE, and instrumentation. High mix, tight documentation, no two builds alike.
High-current feeders, lug terminations, bus bar interfaces, and rack power distribution.
Motor and drive cabling, panel wiring, and control harnesses that survive duty cycle.
Off-highway harnessing. Deutsch-heavy, sealed, and built for mud, heat, and vibration.
Corrosion and ingress-driven builds where a failed seal is a recovery operation.
Heavy, abraded, and remote. Assemblies that have to outlast the trip to site.
If it has wire in it, ask. Most of what we build started as a phone call about something nobody else wanted to quote.
No. We build single qualification units and we build releases of several thousand. A prototype of one is a real order here. Most of our customers start with one and come back for the run.
Yes, and it's common. Send us the harness you're replacing and we'll reverse-engineer it into a controlled drawing, identify the connectors and wire, and quote from that. You get the drawing whether or not you order.
Roughly ten days for a first article on a new assembly, assuming material is available. Repeat production against a locked revision runs shorter. Connector lead time is usually the constraint, not our floor ; if something on your BOM is out six months, we'll tell you at quote and suggest an equivalent.
Either. We buy through franchised distribution with a counterfeit-avoidance policy, and we'll work to DFARS or program-specific sourcing requirements. If you'd rather consign, we'll receive, inspect, and hold your material under lot control.
Yes. Controlled drawings stay controlled : access limits, US-person handling, and no offshore subcontracting of your data or your build. Call before you send anything restricted and we'll set up the transfer properly.
IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2, which is what the large majority of programs specify. Class 1 if your application genuinely doesn't need more and you'd rather not pay for it.
We are not currently certified to Class 3. If your contract requires it, tell us at quote and we'll give you a straight answer instead of a hopeful one.
Tooele, Utah , about forty minutes west of Salt Lake City. Yes, come look at the floor. Customers who visit tend to send more work, which is probably the most honest thing we can say about it.
Drawings, a bill of materials, or a photograph of the harness you're replacing. You'll have a manufacturable quote in two business days.
