Cable assembly for medical technology – custom-made power cables, connection cables and data cables
Cable assembly for medical technology, diagnostics and laboratories
MAG GmbH develops and supplies customised cable and adapter solutions for medical devices, diagnostic systems, laboratory equipment and technical peripherals. These include hospital-grade power cables, power cables, connection cables, device supply cables, data cables, pre-assembled cable sets and project-specific adapter solutions.
Bespoke cable and adapter solutions for demanding device environments
From individual device cables to recurring OEM series.
Technically suited to the application
Connector system, cable type, cross-section, sheath material, cable length, target market and installation situation are coordinated on a project-by-project basis.
Precise fit and verifiable
For certified designs, available documentation is taken into account on a project-by-project basis. Certifications are only claimed if they are actually substantiated for the specific design.
Important note regarding medical technology
MAG supplies customised cables, connection leads and adapter solutions in accordance with agreed technical specifications. The assessment of the overall system, device approval and any necessary regulatory assessment of the medical device are the responsibility of the device manufacturer or distributor.
Project-specific requirements such as target market, documentation, materials, labelling, cable type, connector design or required certifications should therefore be specified as early as possible in the enquiry.

Specific examples for medical technology and laboratories
Typical project examples to guide purchasing, development and quality assurance.
Important for certified versions
Examples such as hospital-grade power cables, UL/CSA versions or other certified cable variants are always assessed on a project-by-project basis. MAG only promotes certifications if these are actually available and documented for the specific version.
Hospital-grade power cables
Custom-fit power cables for suitable device variants, for example for the North American target market. Design, length, colour, device plug, packaging and certification are tailored to the specific project.
Device power cables by target market
One device, multiple country variants: power cable sets for Germany/EU, UK, Switzerland, USA/Canada, Australia or other target markets.
IEC connection cables
Device power leads with IEC connectors, for example C13, C15, C19, C5 or C7, tailored to the device connection, current rating and cable length.
Laboratory and diagnostic systems
Data and connection cables for analytical instruments, measurement systems, test equipment, laboratory workstations and technical peripherals.
Connection cable with open end
Customised cable with open end for further processing in the device, control cabinet, power supply unit, module or technical assembly.
Service and spare parts kits
Pre-defined cable sets for service, spare parts supply or international device delivery with coordinated labelling and packaging.
To review a sample, the target market, device connection, length, colour, planned quantity, existing part numbers and required documentation are often sufficient.
Country-specific power cables for international device variants
One device platform, different target markets and suitable connection solutions.
Power cables and connection cables by target market
A typical application is equipping identical devices or device series with different power cables for various countries. Depending on the target market, the plug system, cable type, voltage, frequency, current-carrying capacity, cross-section, sheathing material and cable length are tailored.
Examples
- Germany / EU: Schuko or suitable IEC connection cable
- United Kingdom: UK mains cable for the UK target market
- USA / Canada: suitable mains cable, available as a hospital-grade version on request, subject to availability and allocation
Standard solutions
- Same device platform with different power cable sets
- Country-specific configuration
- Framework contracts and call-offs as planned
Technical specifications and selection criteria
The right cable is determined by the device, operating environment, target market and production requirements.
Cable construction
- Various cross-sections and conductor counts
- Open end, plug, connector or socket
- custom cable lengths
- Defined bend radii depending on the application
Material & environment
- Sheath material according to application
- Extended temperature ranges depending on the project
- Flexible, robust or halogen-free designs
- Project-specific selection based on mechanical load
Documentation & project requirements
- Alignment of target market and connector system
- Verification of required certifications subject to availability
- Clear specifications for recurring series
- Part numbers and variant logic by project
Information on cable designations such as H05VV-F, H07RN-F, Z1Z1, number of cores, protective conductor marking and cross-section can be found in our advice section.
How a custom-made project works
A clear process reduces queries and improves planning reliability.
Enquiry & scope of work
Device type, operating environment, target market, connector types, cable lengths, quantities, packaging and call-off planning are recorded.
Technical design
Connectors, cable types, cable construction, sheathing material, marking, certification requirements and the appropriate design are tailored to the application.
Sampling & Approval
On request, samples are provided for testing on the device, in a laboratory setup or in technical peripherals.
Series production & delivery
Following approval, production takes place with coordinated delivery via the logistics centre in Lengede, or on a call-off basis upon request.
Custom manufacturing based on stock items
An existing standard item can simplify technical allocation and coordination.
For example, a standard item can be adapted
- same cable type in a different length
- same cable type in a different colour
- customised combination of plugs, couplings or sockets
- open end instead of standard plug, or vice versa
- Customised packaging or labelling by arrangement
- Further technical modifications following assessment

From what quantity do custom-made products make economic sense?
Custom-made products are generally assessed for economic viability from around 500 units or from an order value of approximately €2,000.
How long does production take?
Production time is typically around 20–24 weeks. It depends on the specification, material availability, connector type and approval process.
Are there hospital-grade power cables?
Yes, hospital-grade power cables can be assessed on a project-by-project basis. Certified versions are only offered and advertised if the specific variant is available and verifiable.
Can device series be configured for specific countries?
Yes, identical devices can be equipped with different power cables, plug systems or connection sets depending on the target market.
What information is required for an enquiry?
It is helpful to provide details regarding the device, operating environment, target market, plug type, cable length, cable type, quantity, call-off schedule and existing part numbers.
Does MAG supply complete medical devices?
No, MAG supplies cables, connection leads and adapter solutions to agreed specifications. The assessment of the overall system is the responsibility of the device manufacturer.
