Molded Cables and Connectors

The L3Harris cable mold facility was established under contract to NAVSEA in 1992 to respond to the high rate of cable failures in the fleet. It was one of the first facilities to use glass-reinforced epoxy connector technology, fabricating over 5,000 cables with zero failures. With the evolution of connector technology to non-conductive coatings, we have fabricated over 15,000 cable assemblies, again with zero failures.

L3Harris manufactures molded cable assemblies that meet the requirements of NAVSEA S9320-AM-PRO-020/MLDG, the manual for Underwater Cable Assembly and Encapsulated Components Fabrication, Repair and Installation; and NAVSEA S9320-AM-PRO-040/MLDG, the manual for Splicing Cables.

L3Harris engineers and technicians provide the full range of services for production of molded cable assemblies, including:

  • Mold design
  • Mold fabrication
  • Connectorization using both fiber and copper
  • Assembly fabrication
  • Marking and labeling
  • Electrical and hydrostatic testing
