Our Testing Makes All the Difference
From military vehicles to aircraft and special forces personnel, every cable is engineered to endure. That’s because each product undergoes rigorous testing and inspection to meet the highest quality standards.
What Sets Our Custom Cables and Connectors Apart?
Truly Custom
Virtually any connector type and configuration can be designed and produced. Each custom cable assembly is built to your project's exact requirements, and we design custom connectors to fit unique system setups.
Built for Rugged Environments
Our cables withstand intense physical use and are ideal for demanding applications, which is why agencies rely on DEM as a rugged communications partner.
Comprehensive Testing
Every cable and connector assembly undergoes rigorous QA/QC testing for maximum durability and reliable performance in the field.
Specialized Cabling for Communication Systems
Our cables support high-performance communication systems with strong, clear signals across platforms. They integrate with existing systems and handle audio and signal transmission without interruption or interference. As an assembly manufacturer with full in-house control, DEM configures each electrical cable by length, color, and coiling, with connectors at specific IP ratings and PCBAs integrated directly into cable splices or custom connector housings.
From a custom wire harness for a tactical platform to sealed, submersible assemblies, DEM supports nearly every radio used by federal and law enforcement agencies. Our 10-pin connector cable solutions are built for harsh environments, compatible with OEM radio platforms, and configurable to meet MIL-STD specifications.
