Tekdata Information Design and assembly of bespoke cables and harnesses Location: Stoke-on-Trent Founded in 1969 £5M turnover ~100 staff 4.5 acre site 50,000 ft 2 factory

Market Sectors Served Telecoms and Telematics

Unique Solutions for interconnects and electrical assemblies Turn-key solutions Unique range of capabilities Cutting-edge technologies Excellent engineering skills Rapid prototyping Outstanding flexibility

Where Tekdata Can Contribute We are in development, not research We can help take technologies from TRL 6 (demonstrator in the target environment) to TRL 9 (proven system in operation) Traditionally, cabling and harnessing is an after- thought that loses many of the benefits of new technologies (weight, size, flexibility) We can help turn good inventions into good systems

Woven Harnesses Wire types can be mixed Signal, coax, twisted pair, power wires, optic & strengthening fibres Flexible, light, strong, e.g. woven hinges RFI/EMI: segregation can be defined and repeated to control cross-talk ComputaWeave: wires or groups of wires to enter and exit weave in a repeatable structured fashion

Custom Cable Manufacture Custom cable manufacture High flexibility Mixed cores Compact ribbon & wire routing Custom braiding & jacket extrusion

Specialist Mouldings Overcoming design issues with specialist mouldings

Fibre Optic Cables Fibre optic terminations Mixed optic, copper and alloy harnesses & weaves Standard harnesses and weaves Custom cables Cryoconnect harnesses and weaves Special applications

Cryoconnect / Nanoconnect (1) Ultra Low Temperature & Microscopic Solutions Ultra low temperatures To 44 AWG (0.002” = 0.05mm dia) wire Custom interconnects Custom alloy cables and weaves Applications include: space, superconductivity, scientific & medical, aerospace (compact, light)

Cryoconnect / Nanoconnect (2) Ultra Low Temperature & Microscopic Solutions Custom interconnects Custom alloy cables and weaves Vacuum sealed feed-throughs to withstand extreme temperature and pressure gradients Major cost reductions from existing technologies
