Quick Answer: Before requesting a custom TPU coiled cable, confirm nine specifications that control fit, electrical function, rebound and quotation accuracy.
1. Application
Describe the equipment, installation and reason for using a coil.
2. Conductor Count
Separate power, signal, data and grounding circuits.
3. Wire Gauge
Confirm current, voltage drop, signal and flexibility needs.
4. Relaxed Length
Measure the coil and straight tails in the resting condition.
5. Working Extension
Provide normal working extension separately from temporary maximum extension.
6. Straight Tails
Specify both tail lengths and exit directions.
7. Connector and Pinout
Provide mating part numbers, orientation and wiring diagram.
8. Shielding and Environment
Describe signal, grounding, temperature, abrasion, liquids and movement frequency.
9. Quantity and Packaging
Include sample quantity, annual demand, labels and shipment packaging.
Common RFQ Mistakes
- Sending only maximum stretched length
- Omitting pinout and mating connector
- Requesting shielding without grounding details
- Approving appearance without device testing
