Wire and Cables Knowledge: Categories of Wire and Cables

There are many Categories of Wire and Cables, according to their different characteristics, there can be different methods of classification. If the comprehensive product performance, structure and manufacturing process similarity, and combined with the use of characteristics, wire and cablescan be divided into 5 categories, including bare conductors, electromagnetic cables,power cables,electrical equipmentcables, communication cables.

1. Electromagnetic Wire. It's used in the coils or windings of motors, electrical appliances and electrical instruments, has realized the electromagnetic energy conversion wire, also known as winding wire. According to the material used in the insulation layer, structure, heat-resistant grade and use, can be divided into enameled wire, wrapped wire, inorganic insulated electromagnetic wire, special electromagnetic wire four categories.

2. Bare Conductor. The main features of this product are: pure conductor metal, without insulation and sheath layer, such as steel cored aluminum strand, copper aluminum bus bar, electric locomotive line, etc; The processing technology is mainly pressure processing, such as smelting, calendering, drawing, stranding/compression stranding, etc; The products are mainly used in suburban areas, rural areas, user mainlines, switch cabinets, etc.

3. Power Cable. Cables for power transmission and distribution are called power cables. In cable technology, usually 35kV and the following voltage level of the cable, called medium and low voltage cable; and 1.0kV and above voltage level of the cable is called high-voltage cable. Medium and low voltage power cables, mainly including plastic insulated power cables, rubber insulated power cables, etc. High-voltage power cables are self-capacitating oil-filled cables, steel pipe oil-filled cables.

The products are mainly used in the transmission of strong electrical energy in the generation, distribution, transmission, transformation and power supply lines, with high current (tens to thousands of amps) and high voltage (220V to 35kV and above).There are also compressed gas insulated cables, cryogenic cables, superconducting cables, etc.

---Rubber Insulated Power Cable. With rubber insulation layer of power cables for rubber-insulated power cables. Including natural a butyl rubber insulated power cable, ethylene propylene rubber insulated power cable, butyl rubber insulated power cable, etc.

4. Electrical Equipment Cable. The main feature of this category is a wide range of specifications, a wide range of applications, the use of voltage in 1kV and below more, the face of special occasions continue to derive new products, such as fire-resistant cables, flame retardant cables, low smoke halogen-free / low smoke low halogen cables, anti-termites, anti-rat cables, oil / cold / temperature / wear-resistant cables, medical / agricultural / mining cables, thin-walled wires, etc.

5. Communication Cables. With the rapid development of the communications industry, communication cables have developed from simple telephone and telegraph cables in the past to thousands of pairs of telephone cables, network cables, coaxial cables, fiber optic cables, computer cables, and even combined communication cables. The structure size of these products is usually small and uniform, and the manufacturing precision is high.

Xiamen Seebest Wire & Cable Co., Ltd, was established in 2009, with ISO9001, CCC, CE, CB, RoHS, DEKRA, VDE, UL and other certificates. "Seebest Cable" has a lot of customers in world, such as State Grid Corporation of China, Voltage Electrical Contractor, Firesense, Kenya Power, General Electrical Engineering, Johnson Electric, Master Tec, Li & Foung, Power-Gen Africa and others. The company has provided the OEM services to some cable factories, such as Bangkok Cables, Olex Cables, Eland Cables, Pakistan Cables and etc.
