SAB North America: High-Performance Cables & Connectivity for Industrial Automation

SAB North America is a leading provider of flexible cables, wires, temperature measurement, and cable harnessing solutions engineered for demanding automation environments. At Automate, we support OEMs, machine builders, and system integrators with reliable connectivity for applications where motion, uptime, and electrical integrity are critical—factory automation, robotics, material handling, packaging, semiconductor equipment, and more.

Our portfolio is designed to perform in dynamic motion and harsh industrial conditions. Product offerings include control cables, continuous flex cables, tray cables, motor and drive cables, high-temperature cables, Ethernet/industrial network cables, halogen-free cables, and custom cable harnesses. We also specialize in custom cable designs to meet specific electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements—supporting compact routing, repeated bending, torsion, abrasion exposure, and application-specific jacket materials.

SAB North America maintains a large inventory of cable accessories to help customers complete installations quickly and correctly, including cord grips, grounding glands, and complementary components for flexible control and automation cables. Whether you’re building new equipment or standardizing parts across a plant, our accessories support secure termination, strain relief, EMC grounding, and long-term reliability in the field.

The SAB Advantage

• Large Domestic Inventory: Our North American headquarters is built for responsiveness—supporting 24-hour shipping turnaround on in-stock items, no minimum order requirements for stocked products, no drop shipment surcharges, and accessories available for immediate shipment.
• Expansive Manufacturing Capabilities: We control the manufacturing process end-to-end, from drawing copper to extruding the cable’s outer jacket. Our New Jersey facility and our 1.3-million-square-foot plant in Viersen, Germany, manufacture and ship cable and temperature measurement solutions to over 50 countries.
• Engineering Support: Our engineers collaborate on custom and hybrid cables for complex automation systems—analyzing requirements, proposing optimized constructions, and manufacturing solutions in ISO 9001-certified facilities. We develop, produce, and market over 1,500 specialized cable products annually.
• Extensive Testing: In-house labs conduct rigorous testing to international standards, including material testing, torsional twist tests, directional cycle life tests, pulley tests, Ethernet performance tests, and halogen-free/flame resistance testing.

Automation Applications
