The difference between Rubber sheathed Cable and ordinary cable

Rubber sheathed cable is a kind of cable processed by using high-elastic rubber and high-strength plastic as raw materials. It is a soft and movable cable with multi-strand copper wires as conductors, rubber insulation and rubber sheath. Because of its good insulation performance and strong anti-interference ability, it has been favored by many consumers.

The specifications of the rubber sheathed cable are stipulated according to the rated voltage, rated current, applicable temperature and operating environment of the product. Usually, different specifications are required according to different working environments and equipment. In the process of installation and use, you can choose the appropriate specification according to the environment and temperature that the product is suitable for. For example, if the voltage level is 380 V and below, it is not allowed to use rubber sheathed cables with a rated voltage of 380 V and below, and the cables should be installed inside buildings, in environments with poor ventilation, high temperature and certain corrosive media.

Characteristics of rubber sheathed cables

Because of its anti-aging, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, good electrical conductivity and other characteristics, it is widely used in various electrical equipment, communication and power engineering medium places. In addition, because the rubber sheathed cable contains special materials to form a composite sheath, it has excellent impact resistance, good chemical corrosion resistance, UV resistance, ozone resistance, high bending strength at low temperature, high conductivity, and low smoke. Halogen-free, strong acid and alkali resistance, etc., can be used in long-distance transmission and distribution lines and can play a very good comprehensive use effect.

Points to pay attention to when using rubber sheathed cables

According to different specifications, the performance characteristics are also different. Generally, light-duty rubber-sheathed cables are used in household appliances and small electrical equipment, and require softness, lightness, and good bending performance. In addition to industrial use, the medium-sized ones are widely used in agricultural electrification, and the heavy-duty ones are used in port machinery, searchlights, and large irrigation and drainage stations. This type of product has good versatility, complete series of specifications, good performance and stability, and has the advantage of waterproof, suitable for outdoor and oily environments.

In practical applications, rubber sheathed cables are mostly used in outdoor or harsh environmental conditions, such as ships, mines or underground, etc. With the continuous improvement of the performance of rubber sheathed cables and the continuous optimization of production technology, the current rubber sheathed cables, The material has also been specially optimized, which not only has the excellent properties of rubber itself, but also adds excellent properties such as oil resistance, flame retardancy, cold resistance and heat resistance. This also makes it have more possible usage scenarios.

Advantages of rubber sheathed cables

Compared with ordinary cables, rubber sheathed cables have obvious advantages. First of all, the most obvious difference is the outer sheath. The outer sheath of rubber-sheathed cables is made of rubber, which has good wear-resistant and waterproof characteristics, even in water It can also be used normally in the environment under the environment, which is not suitable for ordinary cables.

Secondly, the hardness and thickness of the rubber sheathed cable are better than ordinary cables, which can ensure that it has a good source isolation effect. Although the cost of rubber sheathed cables is higher than that of ordinary cables in terms of production costs, rubber sheathed cables There are few faults during use, no need for frequent maintenance, and it also has the characteristics of aging resistance, wear resistance, oil resistance, flame retardancy, etc., which can save a lot of maintenance costs in the actual use process.

Therefore, although rubber sheathed cables are more expensive than ordinary cables, rubber-sheathed cables are very popular in the market due to their excellent characteristics, stable performance and worry-free maintenance.
