About arnotec GmbH – cable assembly with koax24
The arnotec GmbH, with its brand koax24, is a provider of custom cable assembly based in Karlsruhe. The company assembles coaxial cables, triaxial cables, high-voltage cables and waveguide-style jacketed cables (jumper cables) with RF connectors – from a single piece starting at 1 unit to series production,精确 to the centimeter. Production takes place in-house in Karlsruhe with four Schleuniger assembly machines, including the MultiStrip 9480, which is designed for high volumes. Using the online cable configurator, customers choose from over 500 connectors and over 140 cable types; additional services include BOM import, repair and modification service, EMC fitting with ferrite rings, and custom breakout boxes with 4 to 10 sockets. Customers come from measurement and testing technology, machinery and plant engineering, power and energy generation, aerospace, research, telecommunications, automotive/test benches, and video/studio technology. Since April 2017, the company has been certified to ISO 9001:2015; reference customers include Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bosch, Siemens, ZEISS and TRUMPF.
