Hexapolar Diagnostic Cable Assembly for Utility Applications (PR034)
Safety-critical industrial cable for utility applications (ENEL Italy).
Hexapolar Diagnostic Cable Assembly Technical Overview
This project involved the development and industrialization of a custom hexapolar (6-pole) diagnostic cable assembly designed for utility-grade field applications, where electrical safety, mechanical robustness and full traceability are mandatory.
This was not a standard cable supply. The customer required a fully controlled assembly, capable of withstanding repeated connection cycles, harsh industrial environments, and strict internal compliance audits.
This hexapolar diagnostic cable assembly was engineered as a safety-critical solution for utility-grade applications.
Customer Requirements (Utility-Grade)
The brief specified:
-
Custom 6-pole diagnostic connector
-
High insulation margins between conductors and connector body
-
Robust strain relief for repeated handling in the field
-
Mechanical integrity over long service life
-
100% electrical and insulation testing
-
Traceable conformity documentation per unit
In short: product + process + proof.
A. Custom Connector Development
Dedicated plastic components and tooling were developed to ensure:
-
precise geometry
-
stable insulation distances
-
scalable production
B. Supplier Engineering (Key Success Factor)
We selected and validated:
-
industrial-grade contact terminals (long-term stability)
-
certified multi-core cable suitable for utility diagnostics
-
an assembly partner capable of process discipline, not craft assembly
Supplier quality was treated as an engineering variable, not procurement.
C. Assembly Process Control
Defined parameters included:
-
stripping lengths
-
crimp profiles
-
torque values for enclosure screws
-
strain relief validation steps
This removed operator-dependent variability.
Testing & Compliance
Every single cable is delivered with a conformity test package, including:
-
Electrical continuity & pin mapping
-
Insulation resistance verification
-
Dielectric withstand testing
-
Mechanical integrity checks
Testing is performed on the final assembled unit, not just components.
What Was Delivered
The customer received:
-
Custom hexapolar diagnostic cable assembly
-
Utility-grade connector architecture
-
Validated tooling & industrialized process
-
Controlled and repeatable assembly flow
-
100% tested products with traceable documentation
Why This Case Study Matters
This hexapolar diagnostic cable assembly was developed as a safety-critical solution for utility-grade applications.
This project shows the difference between:
“supplying a cable” and engineering a safety-critical industrial solution
It demonstrates SHAMANA’s ability to:
-
design for compliance, not just function
-
control suppliers as part of the system
-
deliver products ready for utility-level audits
