March 12, 2014 - Cicoil expands its Online “Drag & Drop” Flat Cable Configurator. An entire section of the website is now dedicated to this New Web Application, which allows a user to easily design a custom cable in just minutes. With a few simple clicks of a mouse, Configurator Cables, can be constructed of many elements (over 20 new additions), including power conductors, shielded signal pairs, video & coax wires, tubing for liquid and air, and design elements like Cicoil’s patented StripMount fastening strip.
To make the process even quicker, Cicoil has added Specialty Signal Modules (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Camera Link, FireWire, USB 2.0, USB 3.0) to the Configurator.
