Key points to know when purchasing cables

In modern industry, cables, as key infrastructure, are widely used in the connection and power supply of various equipment and systems. The quality and performance of industrial cables directly affect the operating efficiency and safety of equipment. Today, we will share some basic knowledge about industrial cables to help you better understand this industry.

1. Types of industrial cables

Industrial cables are mainly divided into the following categories according to different application scenarios and functions:

• Power cable : used for power transmission, connecting power source and motor.
• Control cable : used for signal transmission and operation of control equipment.
• Communication cable : used for data transmission to ensure information exchange between devices.
• Special cables : cables for special purposes such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, suitable for extreme environments.

2. Choose the right cable

When choosing industrial cables, there are several factors to consider:

• Environmental factors : such as temperature, humidity, chemical corrosion, etc., will affect the performance and life of the cable.
• Cable specifications : including cable cross-sectional area, voltage resistance level, etc., should be selected according to actual needs.
• Certification standards : Make sure the selected cables comply with relevant national and international standards, such as UL, CE, ISO, etc.

3. Cable installation and maintenance

Correct installation and regular maintenance are key to ensuring safe operation of industrial cables:

• Note during installation : Avoid excessive bending or stretching of the cables and ensure that the cables are securely connected.
• Regular inspection : Check whether the insulation layer of the cable is intact and regularly clean the dust and debris on the surface of the cable.
• Fault handling : When a fault is found, the machine should be stopped and inspected in time to avoid causing greater damage to the equipment.

4. Industry development trends

With the development of intelligent manufacturing and new energy, the industrial cable industry is also making continuous progress:

• Intelligence : More and more cable products are equipped with monitoring and diagnostic functions, which can provide real-time feedback on operating status.
• Environmentally friendly materials : The use of green and environmentally friendly cable materials has become a trend to reduce the impact on the environment.
• Technological innovation : The research and development of new cable materials and manufacturing processes have improved the performance and safety of cables.
