Cable assembly & bespoke solutions for industry and commerce
If standard cables do not meet the technical, visual or logistical requirements of your project, MAG will assess a bespoke cable, adapter or connection solution in accordance with your specifications.
Together, we will coordinate the application, connectors, target markets, required standards or approvals, quantities and planned production runs. MAG coordinates the technical and economic assessment as well as the further project management with suitable manufacturing partners.

Technically optimised, planned for series production and coordinated via MAG in Germany.
Framework conditions for new projects
From approx. 500 units –typical minimum order quantity for new custom-made products
From approx. 2,000 EUR –a possible alternative benchmark for the order value
Approx. 20–24 weeks:typical production time following clarification and approval
B2B & series production requirementsfor industry, OEMs, the retail sector and professional project business
Important: Quantities, order value and production time are non-binding guidelines. Actual feasibility depends, amongst other things, on the design, material availability, technical requirements, testing and necessary approvals. For selected customised power cables, a small batch of 100 to 499 units may also be assessed on a project-by-project basis. Separate terms and conditions apply.

Planning cable assembly correctly
Turning requirements into a suitable cable or adapter solution
A bespoke solution is advisable if a standard product does not exactly match the project in terms of length, colour, connector combination, material, labelling, packaging or target market. A description of the task that is as precise as possible shortens the preliminary assessment and facilitates the selection of technically suitable alternatives.
Mains cables & connection leads
Country-specific mains connection cables, IEC connectors, open ends, custom lengths, colours and project-specific cable assemblies.
Versions for specific target markets
C5, C7, C13, C15, C19, C20 and other connectors
Cross-sections, sheath variants and markings subject to testing
USB, USB-C & data cables
Cables to specification for devices, industrial applications, furniture integration, kiosk and POS systems, and OEM projects.
USB-A, USB-B, Micro-USB and USB-C
Straight or angled connector designs
Data transmission, charging capacity and video output following project testing
Adapters & project-specific cable sets
Tailored combinations of cables, connectors, adapters, packaging or labelling for recurring requirements.
OEM series and plannable call-offs
Project-specific sets and configurations
Tailored to the application, device and target market
Process for custom cable manufacturing
The project workflow establishes a common basis for technical implementation, costs, approval and series production.
1
Enquiry & Specification
The application, connectors, target markets, cable lengths, quantities and desired delivery date are recorded.
2
Feasibility study
Materials, design, requirements and possible alternatives are assessed from both a technical and economic perspective.
3
Samples & Approval
Where necessary and feasible for the specific project, a sample programme is agreed upon prior to series production.
4
Series Production & Delivery
Following approval, production, delivery and any subsequent call-offs will be co-ordinated via MAG.
Customised production based on an existing item
An existing MAG item can often serve as a technical starting point – for example, for a different length, colour, or plug-socket combination. Where possible, please state the item number in your enquiry or provide a link to the relevant standard item. This allows us to check more quickly which modifications are possible and what the minimum order quantity is.
Requirements vary depending on the device, environment, target market and subsequent volume production requirements. The following detailed pages illustrate typical project approaches for selected applications.
Machinery & Plant Engineering
Power, data and connection cables, as well as country-specific cable sets for machinery, plant, units and export projects.
Mains, data and connection cables for devices, laboratory and analytical systems. Application-specific requirements and certifications must be assessed on a project-by-project basis.
MAG supports commercial customers from the initial specification right through to potential series production and coordinates with suitable manufacturing partners.
Technical and economic feasibility assessment
Coordination of design, target market and project volume
Sampling, where required and feasible for the specific project
Coordination of series production and delivery
Framework contracts and predictable call-offs by agreement
Frequently asked questions about cable assembly and bespoke products
What is the minimum quantity required for a bespoke order?
As a general guide, this is around 500 units or, depending on the project, an order value of approximately 2,000 EUR or more. The actual minimum quantity possible depends on the cable type, tools, materials, testing requirements and design.
Are quantities of 100 to 499 units also possible?
For selected customised power cables, such a small batch can be assessed. This does not imply general availability; technical feasibility, materials and specific project conditions are the determining factors.
How long does production take?
For new projects, approximately 20 to 24 weeks is a typical guide. The specific timetable begins once the specification and necessary approvals have been finalised and depends on the materials, design and production capacity.
What information is required for a quotation?
It is helpful to provide details of the application, connections, pin configuration, length, colour, target markets, standards or approvals, initial order quantity, annual requirement, packaging and desired delivery date. Drawings, samples or existing MAG item numbers facilitate allocation.
Can an existing MAG item be customised?
A stock item can often serve as a starting point. Whether, for example, the length, colour, connection or marking can be changed is assessed on the basis of the specific item and the required quantity.
Are international approvals possible?
The required target markets and approvals should be specified in the enquiry. We will assess whether a suitable version with the necessary certification is available or feasible for the respective product and project.
Prepare a project enquiry
Enquire about cable assembly or bespoke manufacturing
Please send us the key technical and commercial project details. We will then assess whether the desired cable, adapter or connector solution is technically and economically feasible.
