The first AI built for wire harnesses

Generic AI reads text. Cableteque AI reads the entire quote package the way your engineers do, connected to the Cableteque Component Library, and hands back a BOM, a wire list and a short list of review items.

10 million parts 2 million with full datasheet detail

Every pick Cableteque makes is checked against real part data, not a part number and a description. Dozens of engineers build and maintain the library, powered by our own tools.

  • Built by humans + software — Dozens of human engineers powered by our software parse through hundreds of thousands of pages of data sheets
  • Powers every stage — Cableteque AI, auto-pick, sourcing, and labor run on the same data
  • Component attributes — Cableteque knows all of the relevant attributes of a part
  • Cavity components — Cableteque knows which terminals, wire seals, and cavity plugs work with each connector
  • Accessories and tooling — Tooling and mating connectors linked

Connected to your distributors and your ERP

Cableteque pulls live pricing and stock from 30+ distributors at your contract rates, using your own API keys, alongside your ERP inventory, Excel price lists and supplier RFQs.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cableteque?

Cableteque is quoting software built specifically for wire harness and cable assembly manufacturers. It reads a customer's RFQ package, builds the BOM and wire list, sources every part at your negotiated rates, fills your labor template and produces a customer-ready quote. More than 100 manufacturers and 500+ users process over 100,000 quotes a year through Cableteque.

What is Cableteque AI?

Cableteque AI is the first AI built specifically for wire harnesses. It reads the entire quote package, including everything on the drawing and everything off it, such as notes, workmanship specs and AVLs, in structured or unstructured form. It is connected to the Cableteque Component Library and runs through every stage of the quote, while your engineers keep control of every decision.

What is the Cableteque Component Library?

The Cableteque Component Library holds more than 10 million parts, 2 million of them with full datasheet-level detail: what each part is, its attributes, what it mates with, what works with it, and the accessories and tooling that go with it. A dedicated team of engineers builds and maintains it using Cableteque's own tools. It powers auto-pick, sourcing and labor counts.

What files can I upload?

Forward the RFQ email or upload the package as it arrives: PDF, scanned prints, TIFF, Excel, CSV, XML and native CAD exports. Multi-file and multi-assembly packages go in as one upload.

Does Cableteque calculate wire lengths and coverings?

Yes. Connectivity comes from the wire list, so your engineer traces the branches and dimensions over the drawing in Cableteque's built-in stick-drawing tool and assigns the connectors at each end. Cableteque then calculates wire cut lengths, sizes tubes, tapes and coverings for each bundle, and auto-picks terminals, wire seals and cavity plugs.

Does Cableteque use our negotiated pricing?

Yes. Cableteque connects to 30+ distributors through your own API keys, so you see your contract pricing. It also uses your inventory from your ERP and your Excel price lists, sends supplier RFQs and reads the responses with Cableteque AI, then picks the best offer on price, availability, lead time and minimum order quantity.

Can we keep our own labor template?

Yes. Cableteque loads your work centers, operations and time standards as-is and fills 60–80% of the template automatically from the BOM and wire list. Engineers adjust only the operations that need their judgment.

Does Cableteque replace our ERP?

No. Your ERP stays your system of record for production, inventory and accounting. Cableteque handles quoting and sends the quote and cost data to your ERP or CRM.

How is Cableteque different from Excel, an ERP or a generic quoting tool?

Excel and ERPs don't read drawings, and generic quoting tools are built for PCBA or machined parts. Cableteque is built only for wire harnesses: Cableteque AI reads the full quote package, the Cableteque Component Library knows what every part mates with and needs, and your own labor template is filled automatically. Your ERP stays your system of record. Read the wire harness quoting software buyer's guide.

Which distributors and ERPs does Cableteque connect to?

Cableteque connects to 30+ distributors through your own API keys, including TTI, Heilind, IEWC, WireMasters, DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, Avnet, Future Electronics, Newark and Farnell, so every quote reflects your contract pricing. It also connects to ERPs such as Cetec ERP and QBuild. See all integrations.

How much does Cableteque cost?

Cableteque is a monthly subscription, with annual plans available at a discount. Pricing is based on how many assemblies you quote, how complex they are (measured in BOM lines), and any add-ons, such as additional modules, government hosting, ERP integration or additional sites. Contact us for a quote.

Can Cableteque handle CUI and ITAR-controlled data?

Yes. Cableteque is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as FedRAMP Ready (legacy designation) and is registered with the U.S. State Department under ITAR. Defense and other regulated programs run on CabletequeGov, a dedicated environment on AWS GovCloud with U.S.-only data residency. Only U.S. persons can access CabletequeGov and its data. Customer data is protected with encryption, access management and continuous monitoring, and no customer data is used to train or fine-tune LLMs. See our Security page for full details.

Where is my data hosted?

Cableteque runs on AWS. Commercial customers are hosted in US regions by default, and European customers can be hosted in AWS Europe Central, which supports GDPR. Defense and other regulated programs can use CabletequeGov, a dedicated government environment. No customer data is used to train or fine-tune LLMs. See our Security page for the full details.

How long does it take to get started?

Most customers do their first quotes in Cableteque within 30 days and are quoting live work within 45–60 days. By the end of their first three months, they’re getting full value from the platform. Onboarding covers your labor template, distributor accounts and part preferences, and Cableteque’s team supports you throughout.
