FAQ

How do you calculate the minimum bending radius of cables?

What is the operating temperature of the cable?

Is a flame-retardant cable also fire resistant?

What temperature can high-temperature resistant cables reach, and what are their application scenarios?

What is the length tolerance for cables?

What temperature can high-temperature resistant cables reach, and what are their application scenarios?

High-temperature resistant cables are engineered to function within a wide temperature range, spanning from -50°C to +260°C, depending on the cable's specific type and construction. Silicone rubber-insulated cables can withstand temperatures up to 180°C, whereas fluoroplastic insulated cables are designed to endure temperatures as high as 200°C to 260°C over extended periods. They are widely used in steel metallurgy, power, petrochemicals, aerospace, and industrial kilns for power transmission and equipment control in high-heat environments.

What is the application of Armored vs. Unarmored Cables?

Armored cables are suitable for use in hazardous environments, such as underground installations, areas with high moisture levels, and areas prone to mechanical damage. Unarmored cables are suitable for less demanding applications, such as inside walls or other protected locations.

Why do cable prices vary significantly among suppliers within the same region?

Cable prices vary due to differences in supplier strategies, competition, raw materials, and production processes, as well as after-sales services, including installation, equipment, and ongoing support.

What is the operating temperature of the cable?

The operating temperature of a cable is determined by the insulation and sheathing material. PVC has a range of -15°C to 70°C, XLPE can reach up to 90°C, while silicone rubber can handle temperatures from -60°C to 180°C.

Longitudinal Water Blocking vs. Lateral Water Blocking?

A longitudinally water blocking cable is designed with a barrier to prevent the spread of moisture along its length. Longitudinal water blocking stops water from migrating along the cable's core, typically between the conductor strands, insulation layers, or metallic screens. Lateral water blocking ensures that water cannot penetrate the cable in the event that the sheathing is pierced or damaged. Radial water blocking prevents water from penetrating the cable's outer sheath or insulation layers, thereby stopping it from entering the cable structure entirely. Longitudinal water blocking can be achieved through various methods, including the application of water-blocking tapes and powders. These are frequently located on either side of a metallic screen and conductor. Lateral water blocking is typically accomplished by applying a layer of aluminum/polyester tape to the underside of the outer sheath.
