Small Ways To Extend Wire And Cable Life

Whether it is home improvement cable cable or industrial cable has its relative service life, generally speaking, home improvement cable life is longer than outdoor cable, copper core cable is longer than other material cables, standard environmental cables are longer than harsh environmental cables, but no matter what kind of environment the cable is used in need to extend its life according to the situation, the following briefly says how to extend the life of wires and cables. First, to prevent man-made damage, for example, it is generally recommended to install home improvement cables in a hidden environment, it is not recommended to expose them to the outside, and most of them are not recommended to be installed in the air when indoor cables are decorated, some cables do not support suspension installation, because their own gravity is strong, suspended installation will make sagging damage, and hanging installation or external installation will also increase the probability of man-made damage.

Second, anti-corrosion generally home cable corrosion phenomenon is less, ordinary air fresheners or indoor neutral chemical products will not cause damage to the cable, in the indoor installation of cables we only need to prevent acid and alkali injection substances; Cables installed outdoors need to pay attention to whether there are super corrosive acids and alkalis in the space environment, and if possible, the external environment should be changed as much as possible, otherwise the cable can only protect itself. Third, to prevent temperature drastic changes caused by cable damage to the outside of the cable will have a layer of rubber protective layer, in addition to improving the safety of the cable, another function is to protect the cable core from the damage of the space environment, and the temperature will directly damage the rubber layer, such as in the case of exposure to the sun temperature will accelerate its aging, so we recommend whether indoor or outdoor use to prevent the temperature of the cable surrounding environment from drastic. In order to ensure the service life of the cable, please be sure to strictly abide by its installation rules and the overall assessment of the installation environment, different environments installed cable product specifications and types are different, such as in the northeast region to choose low temperature cable, in acid rain area to choose anti-corrosion cable, they are according to the space environment of the strengthened design of the cable will make the service life long, to ensure stable operation.
