Some common knowledge about wires and cables

Wire and cable companies believe that environmentally friendly cables refer to those that do not contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. Free from brominated flame retardants. After environmental performance testing by SGS accredited testing institutions, it meets the EU Environmental Protection Directive (RoSH) and exceeds its indicator requirements. Wires and cables that are free from harmful halogen gases, corrosive gases, low calorific value during combustion, and do not pollute the soil. There is no strict boundary between "wires" and "cables". Usually, products with few wire cores, small diameters, and simple structures are called wires, those without insulation are called bare wires, and others are called cables. A conductor with a larger cross-sectional area (greater than 6 square millimeters) is called a large conductor, a conductor with a smaller cross-sectional area (less than or equal to 6 square millimeters) is called a small conductor, and an insulated conductor is also called a wiring.



1. Flame retardancy and fire resistance. The wire and cable company believes that the flame retardancy and fire resistance of environmentally friendly wires and cables fully comply with national fire protection standards, and wires and cables are not prone to combustion in the event of electrical fires. At the same time, under continuous combustion, it can ensure the normal operation of the circuit system for a certain period of time, and to a greater extent, reduce the spread of flame after the combustion of wires and cables.



2. No pollution. Wire and cable companies believe that the insulation and sheath materials used in environmentally friendly wires and cables are green and environmentally friendly materials, which not only ensure stable electrical performance and physical and mechanical functions, but also ensure the safety performance of wires and cables, avoiding the "secondary pollution" caused by the incineration of waste wires and cables.



3. The toxicity of wires and cables themselves is low. Wire and cable companies believe that due to the unique nature of the raw materials used for environmentally friendly wires and cables, the insulation layer and outer sheath of wires and cables do not contain harmful heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, thus ensuring our own health and safety to a greater extent during use.



4. Wires and cables will not decompose corrosive gases. The wire and cable company believes that environmentally friendly wires and cables use new non polluting special materials, which will not generate various toxic gases due to high temperatures and other reasons during use, and will cause less damage to equipment and instruments, thus possessing environmental characteristics. Adopting green and environmentally friendly materials with special molecular structures to ensure low water absorption. Special UV absorbers provide excellent UV protection for the product. Ensure the safety of such products and extend their service life.



Wire and cable companies believe that with increasing attention to environmental issues, many countries have formulated various environmental policies, so people are more inclined to use green cables. Low smoke halogen-free flame retardant cable material is currently one of the popular environmentally friendly cables. Although the demand for green cables in the Chinese market is constantly increasing, compared to developed countries, China still has a long way to go in formulating relevant policies and implementing mandatory applications. China should raise the standards for green cables as soon as possible.
