The InterConnect Designer enables you to submit a request for a configuration with our easy to use tool.

VPC's Patchcord Designer enables you to quickly and easily create and view the patchcords you need.

With over 1000 instruments listed on the Wire+ Configurator, VPC enables you to choose the right cable assembly, PCB adapter, or interconnect adapter solution for your test system.

Discrete-wired cable assemblies incorporate a VPC module and a mating connector. Available in several standard lengths and configurations, these assemblies save integration time by allowing you to connect directly to the test instrument.

VPC's discrete-wired cable assemblies come with documentation, including a mechanical drawing and wire list, to verify signal paths for ease of integration.

VPC offers a wide range of PCB Adapter modules that enable rapid connectivity between instrumentation and the Mass InterConnect receiver module with a commercial-off-the-shelf cable assembly.

The Patchcord Designer now offers varying wire types of similar gauges and colors to meet your application needs. For high speed and high temperature applications, VPC offers a Teflon, stranded silver plated copper wire that meets MIL-W-16878/4. VPC’s Teflon has a temperature rating of -60°C to +200°C and a voltage rating of 600 Volts.

For applications in which a lower cost is needed and wire flexibility is pertinent, irradiated PVC (XLPVC) is available, which meets UL1429 and is recognized by the MIL SPEC approval group as a comparable replacement to MIL-W-16878/1 Type B with a temperature rating of -55°C to +105°C and a voltage rating of 600 Volts. XLPVC consists of stranded tinned copper and,like the Teflon wire, has an AWG range of 4-28 with an insulation wall thickness of .010".

VPC’s custom wired systems, with assemblies and receivers, provide you with a complete product, ready for integration into your test system. Wired systems are built to your specifications and enable a variety of configurations. Let us help you build your InterConnect Solution.

VPC can build wired fixtures and receivers to house and maintain your wiring system.
The system comes to you pre-wired
and tested, with documentation,
configured to your specifications.

VPC’s Application Engineers can answer questions regarding products and explain applications. If your test system requires custom assemblies, they will work with you to develop new cable assemblies and mechanical design variations, such as custom fixtures and enclosures, that meet your specific requirements. With your order, you will receive product drawings, wire lists, and continued engineering support from VPC.

VPC is committed to uncompromising quality, continuous
improvement, and exceptional value. We are an ISO 9001:2008 certified business, reinforcing VPC’s dedication to operating a Quality Management System. VPC complies with IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards for cable assemblies. In addition, all VPC solderers are certified to J-STD-001.

The VPC Quality Assurance Lab conducts tests for point to point continuity, shorts, and insulation resistance to ensure the final product meets both your and VPC’s high quality standards. The QA Lab’s automated equipment includes both DIT-MCO and Cirris cable testers. In addition,
VPC’s network analyzer tests the electrical response of RF
cables to a specified frequency range.
