Fully Custom USB Connectivity for Medical Devices

Chimitech develops custom USB and USB-C cable assemblies to meet your medical device requirements, including signal integrity at the required cable length, tight dimensional constraints, and biocompatible materials. We provide design and engineering support to help reduce redesign risk and ensure the cable fits and performs as required before volume production.

One Cable Requirement Can Change the Entire Design

In a medical device, cable length, conductor size, shielding, OD, flexibility, materials, and connector geometry are connected.

For example, increasing cable length can require larger conductors to maintain signal performance. Larger conductors can increase cable OD, which may then affect flexibility, connector tooling, and enclosure fit.

Longer Length → More Signal Loss → Larger Conductors → Larger OD → Mechanical Changes → Revalidation

We evaluate these trade-offs before the design is released, so you can avoid solving one problem by creating another.

It All Starts with What Your Medical Device Needs

Whether you have a finished cable specification or only key requirements like speed, length, space, and flexibility, both are valid starting points. We don’t just build to drawings—we help identify the cable construction that will realistically work.

Make It Work at the Required Cable Length

A medical usb cable that performs at 1 meter may not deliver the same result at 2.5 or 3 meters. We evaluate cable length together with conductor gauge, data rate, shielding, impedance and power requirements.

Fit the Custom Cable Into Your Medical Device

Electrical performance is only useful if the finished cable also fits your enclosure. We design the cable around your available space instead of changing your device around the cable.

Choose the Right Material for Your Application

Chimitech helps you select cable materials based on the real demands of your device, balancing durability, sterilization compatibility, chemical resistance and environmental exposure.

Transparent Pricing

We believe in full cost transparency so you know exactly where every dollar goes. Custom medical cable development may involve tooling, custom materials, cable extrusion, and engineering samples. Applicable NRE items are identified and confirmed before work begins — no hidden add-ons.

Design Services & Estimated Costs

Every project is different, but the following real project example shows how custom-development costs may be structured:

Inner mold tooling: USD 850
Outer mold tooling: USD 900
Medical-grade TPE MOQ charge for samples: USD 500
Cable extrusion setup, including 100m raw cable: USD 600

Final development cost depends on your cable construction, materials, tooling, sample quantity, and validation requirements.
