LET'S BUILD TOGETHER
Whether you need a quick quote, engineering consultation, or want to discuss a complex project, we're here to help.
A wire harness is a bundled and labeled routing system for power and signal conductors inside a machine, while cable assembly refers to the terminated cable sets that connect devices, sensors, motors, and control hardware. Good RFQs usually explain which of those two scopes you need, because the review path and quoting assumptions are different.
Buyers get better turnaround when they describe the application environment early instead of sending only a connector family and length. That is especially true for moving robots, washdown equipment, and mixed power-plus-data cable sets.

Common Questions
How quickly can I get a quote?
For standard requests, we provide quotes within 24-48 hours. Complex projects may require additional engineering review.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, we routinely sign NDAs and maintain strict confidentiality. Check the NDA box in the form and we'll send our standard NDA or review yours.
What information should I provide?
The more detail, the better: CAD drawings, BOM lists, connector specifications, environmental requirements, and expected volumes help us provide accurate quotes.
Can you help with design?
Absolutely. Our engineers offer free design review and optimization recommendations. We can also design custom solutions from scratch.
What To Include In Your RFQ
This checklist shortens the path from first contact to a useful quote.
| Input | Why It Matters | Best Starting Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing or route photos | Shows packaging and branch constraints | PDF drawing, sketch, or clear installed photos |
| Connector family | Defines mating geometry and risk of mismatched parts | Part number, coding, pin count, and gender |
| Cable construction | Affects flex life, shielding, and sealing | Known cable spec or target environment if the spec is open |
| Quantity split | Prototype and volume pricing are not the same | Prototype, pilot, annual demand, and service spares |

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I send with my first inquiry?
The best starting package includes a drawing or sample photo, cable length, connector part numbers, quantity split, environment, and target lead time so the engineering review can start without guesswork.
Why ask about robot type and application up front?
Robot type changes routing, bend radius, shielding, abrasion, sealing, and service needs, so application context helps narrow the correct cable architecture early.
What is the difference between a wire harness RFQ and a cable assembly RFQ?
A wire harness RFQ usually needs branch logic, labels, routing context, and integration notes, while a cable assembly RFQ is often centered on connector families, cable construction, and test scope for a defined interconnect.
Can Hommer Zhao's team sign an NDA before design review?
Yes. The contact form already supports NDA requests so buyers can protect proprietary robot layouts before sending controlled drawings or BOMs.
What happens after the form is submitted?
The team reviews scope, flags missing commercial or technical inputs, and replies with the next engineering questions needed to produce a defensible quote and sample plan.
