Cable Quagmire:

the marked cable case

The Challenge: A global medical device manufacturer with a design concept to enhance their existing product platform couldn’t identify and therefore distinguish among various cable components that needed to be inserted into a small tube lumen and discretely terminated.

The Avicenna Solution: We laser marked each cable with identifying characteristics. For this unique application, we created a sort of Morse Code system of marked blocks and bars to correspond to each component part number. We also developed marked cable quality criteria that we transferred to and correlated with the customer.

The Customer Gain: The result was the customer’s ability to identify and distinguish each component cable, which allowed each cable to connect to its intended termination. Our proof-of-concept gave this customer the confidence they needed to move forward. And our innovation and flexibility allowed them to maintain their product development and product launch timelines.
