2025-02-07

Wires and cables can be divided into five categories:

 1 Bare wires and bare conductors   

Main features: Pure conductor metal, without insulation and sheath, such as steel core aluminum stranded wire, electric locomotive wire, etc.;

 

2 Power cables    

Main features: Extruded on the conductor ( around ) Insulation layer, such as overhead insulated cables, or several cores twisted together ( Corresponding to the phase wire, neutral wire and ground wire of the power system ) etc.;

 

3 Wires and cables for electrical equipment   

Main features: A wide variety of specifications and applications, with operating voltages below 1kV and below are more common. New products are constantly being developed for special occasions, such as fire-resistant cables, flame-retardant cables, low-smoke halogen-free / Low-smoke low-halogen cables, thin-walled wires, etc.  

 

4 Communication cables and optical fibers

Main features: Product structure and dimensions are usually smaller and more uniform, with high manufacturing precision requirements such as Telephone cables Coaxial cables, optical cables, data cables Combination communication cables, etc.

 

5 Magnet wire ( Winding wire

Main features: New products derived from wires and cables using new materials, special materials, or changes in product structure of derivation / new products by determined by application scenarios, application requirements, and the convenience and cost reduction of equipment and so on.

Using different materials such as flame-retardant cables, low-smoke halogen-free / Low-smoke low-halogen cables, anti-termite, anti-rat cables, oil-resistant / Cold-resistant / Temperature-resistant cables, etc.;  

Changes in product structure such as: fire-resistant cables, etc.;  

Improved process requirements such as: medical cables, etc.;  

Combination products such as: OPGW etc.;  

Convenient installation and reduced equipment costs such as: prefabricated branch cables, etc.
