Five common classifications of cables

Bare wire and bare conductor products
The main characteristics of this type of products are: pure conductor metal, no insulation and sheath layer.
This kind of wire can be used as a conductive wire, can also be used as electrical appliances and other equipment components, etc., its conductivity, mechanical properties are superior, but because it has no insulation layer, it is easy to corrode.
-
Power cables
The main feature of this type of product is: extruding (winding) the clad insulation layer or sheath layer outside the conductor.
Power cables, as the name implies, are mainly used to transmit and distribute electric energy, and have the advantages of not occupying ground space, stable transmission performance, and large distributed capacitance. If divided according to insulation materials, it can be divided into oil-impregnated paper, plastic, rubber insulated power cables; According to the voltage, it can be divided into low voltage, medium voltage, high voltage, and ultra-high voltage.
The products are mainly used in the transmission, distribution, transmission, transformation and power supply lines of strong electric power, through the current (tens of amps to thousands of amperes), high voltage (220V to 500KV and above).
-
Wires and cables for electrical equipment
The main characteristics of this type of products are: a wide variety of specifications, a wide range of applications, the use voltage of 1KV and below, in the face of special occasions requirements continue to derive new products, such as fire-resistant cables, flame-retardant cables, LSZH/LSZH cables, ant-proof, rat-proof cables, oil-resistant, cold-resistant, temperature-resistant, wear-resistant cables, etc.
-
Communication cables and optical fibers
Communication cable is used for telephone, TV and other electrical signal transmission wire products, usually composed of multiple cores of the cable core, the outer layer has a protective sleeve, including coaxial cable, optical cable, data cable, etc.
The structural size of such products is usually small and uniform, and the manufacturing accuracy is required.
-
Magnet wire (winding wire)
Magnet wire is mainly used to make coils in motors, electrical appliances and other products, and its product performance should meet the requirements of the use and process of electrical appliances.
Magnet wires can be divided into enameled wires, wrapped wires and other types. Mainly suitable for all kinds of motors, instrumentation, etc.
