Diverse Wire and Cable Product Offerings

FDH Electronics specializes in a wide variety of wire and cable products, ensuring every application is covered. These include:

1. 1. Primary Wires: Insulated copper & copper alloys for standalone hook-up wire or as sub-components for more complex cables.
   2. Data Cables: Coax, Twinax, Ethernet, Cat5/Cat6, USB/USB Micro, and FireWire – all with multiple construct options for the dielectrics, shield & jackets
   3. Twisted: Two or more insulated conductors twisted together, ideal for routing wires and saving space, this also reduces congestion.
   4. Homogeneous & Composite Cables:  Cables made from multiple identical inner components or made with different sub-components
   5. Coil Cord Cables: Cables designed to expand and contract.
   6. Ribbon Cable: Multiple wires or sub-components lined up parallel to each other to form a cable that lies flat.
