AQ Wiring Systems Rockford builds electrical systems for defence, aerospace and space. We are a leading provider of cable assemblies and electro-mechanical solutions. Our products serve many demanding high-reliability applications. As cable assembly manufacturers, we build products you can trust.
We design, develop and make high-performance cable assemblies. We build them for harsh environment use. We work with defence, aerospace and industrial clients worldwide. Our team delivers reliable connectivity where it matters most.
Every project starts with clear goals. We listen to your needs first. Then we plan the best way to build it. This keeps things on track and on time. It also helps us avoid costly delays later on.
Flexible Delivery Models
We offer flexible delivery models for every project. We offer build-to-print or build-to-spec. We also build fully custom-designed assemblies. We adapt our approach to your needs at every step.
We offer prototyping, low, medium and high volumes. This lets you scale with ease. You can start small and grow fast. Our team supports you from the first idea to full production.
Prototyping helps us test ideas early. We check the design before we build in bulk. This saves time and cuts waste. It also gives you confidence in the final product. You see it work before you commit.
When you need a custom cable assembly, we help. Our engineers work with you to meet your needs. We tailor each solution to fit your platform. This keeps things simple and saves space too.
Cable Assemblies We Make
Enclosed Cable Assemblies
We make enclosed wiring harnesses and sealed cable assemblies. They are built for harsh operating environments. They are designed for maximum durability and long life. They bring power, signal, data and Ethernet circuits into one sealed unit.
Our enclosed cable assemblies protect critical electrical systems. They work in the toughest conditions. They give secure connectivity and environmental protection. They perform across defence, aerospace and industrial use.
Open Loom Assemblies
We make open-wire wiring harnesses for aerospace use. These assemblies can include braiding and laser wire marking. They deliver a solution focused on weight saving. They stay reliable while keeping things light.
RF Cable Assemblies
We make low-loss, phase-matched and high-power RF assemblies. We test them up to 26 GHz. We support many connector types such as BNC, TNC and SMA. We offer solder and crimp terminations for demanding use.
Woven Cable Technology
Our woven cable technology is unique. It creates low-profile and flexible interconnect solutions. These are ideal for complex routing tasks. Each weave is tailored to your needs and saves space.
This approach lets us join many elements in one compact structure. We can mix wires, fibre optics and fluid lines. The result is a versatile and space-saving solution for your platform.
Fibre Optic Assemblies
We supply fibre optic cable assemblies for harsh environments. We serve defence, aerospace, naval and industrial clients. We supply single-way, duplex and multiway fibre assemblies. We also make expanded beam and armoured fibre solutions.
These solutions support high data throughput and reliable communication. They work in harsh environments. Uses include vehicle platforms, radar systems and underwater systems. They also serve UAV tethers, decoys and sonar equipment.
Power Cable Assemblies
We offer a full power cable assembly service. We support low-voltage systems and heavy-duty power cables up to 150mm². We use crimping, soldering and high-temperature soldering. We fit connectors from leading OEM manufacturers.
A Cost Effective Approach
Our flexible models make our services cost effective. We tailor our volumes to your budget. This works for small jobs and large programmes alike.
We are supported by the wider AQ Group network. This gives us extra engineering resources and capacity. It helps us scale from prototype to full-rate production. We serve customers across the UK and Europe.
Accreditations and Standards
We hold AS9100D, IPC and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications. These show our focus on quality and security. We apply these standards to every process. You get reliable products every time.

Three UK Manufacturing Sites
We run three UK manufacturing facilities. Our Worksop site makes complex cable assemblies and wiring harnesses. It also builds power cable assemblies and interconnect solutions. Our Salisbury site adds more Cable Solutions capacity.
Each site offers prototype, low-volume and production services. We focus on quality, reliability and on-time delivery. This keeps your project on track from start to finish.
Our sites work as one team. We share skills and tools across locations. This gives you flexible capacity when you need it. It also means we can move fast on urgent work. Your project never stalls for lack of space.
Markets We Serve
We supply high-performance electrical solutions for harsh environments. Our cable assemblies support many global markets. We serve defence, aerospace, space and industrial customers. They all demand dependable performance in tough conditions.
Each market has its own needs. We adapt to meet them all. Defence work needs strict security and traceability. Aerospace work needs light and strong parts. Industrial work needs robust and long-life solutions. We deliver all of these with care.
