What are the differences between special cables and general cables?

The difference between special cables and general cables is that they are mainly used in special environments such as high temperature, high voltage, insect and ant prevention, corrosion prevention, etc. Special cables are cables with special requirements in a certain aspect, so their materials are different from ordinary cables. They both require specialized experiments before selection, and materials are tested in various environments.

1. The use of cables needs to be selected according to environmental requirements, such as anti rodent, anti termite and other biological bites, to avoid damaging the cables due to these reasons. Insects and ants are interested in plastic, so when the outer layer of the cable is bitten and damaged, the internal wiring will naturally be affected and damaged.

2. Temperature also has different requirements. In some environments with high or low temperatures, general cables may be affected by temperature and damaged, which can affect their use and prevent the transmission of electrical energy or signals. These are issues that we cannot ignore and require special materials for manufacturing.

3. Radiation protection is also a characteristic of it, and cables used in some nuclear power plants naturally need to have these capabilities, because if the product does not have these capabilities, it will affect its use. Radiation has an impact on cables, and the use and lifespan of products will be reduced due to radiation. Therefore, primary materials naturally need radiation protection.

4. Corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance are all necessary functions when they are used in environments such as ships and chemical plants. Chemical plants and water are corrosive, and if cables are exposed to them for a long time, they will inevitably corrode and damage the wiring. When selecting, we need to ask whether they have these characteristics.
