High-Voltage vs Low-Voltage Cables: Structural Differences and 3 Key “Pitfalls” to Avoid in Selection
In power engineering and industrial equipment installation, selecting the wrong type of “high-voltage cable” or “low-voltage cable” can lead to equipment failure, power outages, and production stoppages, or even safety accidents in severe cases. However, many people only h...Read more -
Cost-Effective Glass Fiber Yarn: Key Non-Metallic Reinforcement in Optical Cable Manufacturing
Glass Fiber Yarn, due to its unique properties, is widely used in indoor and outdoor optical cables (optical cables). As a non-metallic reinforcing material, it has gradually become an important choice in the industry. Before its advent, the flexible non-metallic reinforcing parts of optical cabl...Read more -
Application of Water-Absorbent Fibers in Optical Cables and Power Cables
During the operation of optical and electrical cables, the most significant factor leading to performance degradation is moisture penetration. If water enters an optical cable, it can increase fiber attenuation; if it enters an electrical cable, it can reduce the cable's...Read more -
LSZH Cables: Trends & Material Innovations for Safety
As a new type of environmentally friendly cable, low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant cable is increasingly becoming an important development direction in the wire and cable industry due to its exceptional safety and environmental properties. Compared with conventional cables, it offers ...Read more -
Essential Functions of Insulation, Sheath, and Shielding in Cable Design
We know that different cables have different performances and therefore different structures. Generally, a cable is composed of conductor, shielding layer, insulation layer, sheath layer, and armor layer. Depending on the characteristics, the structure varies. However, many people are not clear a...Read more -
Numerous Cable Models – How to Select the Right One? — (Power Cable Edition)
Cable selection is a critical step in electrical design and installation. Incorrect selection may lead to safety hazards (such as overheating or fire), excessive voltage drop, equipment damage, or low system efficiency. Below are the core factors to consider when selecting a cable: 1. Core Electr...Read more -
One of the Four High-Performance Fibers: Aramid Fiber
Aramid fiber, short for aromatic polyamide fiber, is listed among the four high-performance fibers prioritized for development in China, along with carbon fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMWPE), and basalt fiber. Like ordinary nylon, aramid fiber belongs to the family of p...Read more -
What are the Advantages of High-Temperature Resistant Anti-Corrosion Shielded Cables?
Definition and Basic Composition of High-Temperature Resistant Anti-Corrosion Shielded Cables High-temperature resistant anti-corrosion shielded cables are specially designed cables primarily used for signal transmission and power distribution in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Their...Read more -
What Is the Purpose of Cable Armoring?
To protect the structural integrity and electrical performance of cables and to extend their service life, an armor layer can be added to the outer sheath of the cable. There are generally two types of cable armor: steel tape armor and steel wire armor. To enable cables to withstand radial pressu...Read more -
Structure and Materials of Power Cable Shielding Layers
The shielding used in wire and cable products has two completely different concepts: electromagnetic shielding and electric field shielding. Electromagnetic shielding is designed to prevent cables transmitting high-frequency signals (such as RF cables and electronic cables) from causing external ...Read more -
XLPO vs XLPE vs PVC: Performance Advantages and Application Scenarios in Photovoltaic Cables
A steady and uniform current relies not only on high-quality conductor structures and performance, but also on the quality of two key components in the cable: the insulation and sheath materials. In actual energy projects, cables are often exposed to harsh environmental conditions for extended pe...Read more -
