Rubber sheathed cable usage classification

2025-08-28 Leave a message

Rubber-sheathed cables are widely used as mobile power cables for various electrical equipment, household appliances, electric machinery, electrical devices, and appliances, and can be used in both indoor and outdoor environments.


Based on the mechanical loads to which the cables are subjected, they are categorized into three types: light, medium, and heavy. The conductor cross-sections also differ.


Model YC represents the following:


Y—series designation for cables used in mobile electrical equipment;


C—heavy duty, based on structural characteristics.


A similar designation is "YCW," a reinforced version.


Product Name: Heavy-Duty Neoprene or Other Equivalent Synthetic Elastomer Rubber-Sheathed Flexible Cable


Model: 60245 IEC 66 (YCW)


Rated Voltage: 450/750V


Number of Conductors: One, Two, Three, Four, or Five.


Cables in the same category (or series) include YZW.


YZW: Ordinary neoprene or other equivalent synthetic elastomer rubber-sheathed flexible cable, 300/500V;


Specific applications are as follows:


*Light-duty rubber-sheathed cables are primarily used in household appliances and small electric equipment, requiring flexibility, lightness, and good bending properties.


*Medium-duty rubber-sheathed cables are widely used in agricultural electrification, in addition to industrial applications.


*Heavy-duty rubber-sheathed cables are used in applications such as port machinery, searchlights, and large-scale household hydraulic irrigation and drainage stations.


This product offers excellent versatility, a comprehensive range of specifications, and stable and reliable performance.


In addition, we also offer waterproof rubber-sheathed cables and submersible pump cables, primarily for submersible motors.


Main Features of Rubber-sheathed Cables:


Strong abrasion resistance, excellent weather resistance, good flexibility, excellent tensile strength, and waterproof and moisture-resistant.


*High Abrasion Resistance: The rubber-sheathed cable is covered with a rubber sheath, offering strong abrasion resistance and long-term use in harsh environments.


*Weather Resistance: The rubber material offers excellent weather resistance, resisting UV rays, high temperatures, low temperatures, and other natural environmental factors, making it suitable for outdoor use.


*Flexibility: Made of a flexible rubber material, the rubber-sheathed cable is easy to bend and arrange, making it suitable for complex scenarios and confined spaces.


*Excellent Tensile Strength: The rubber-sheathed cable utilizes a multi-strand twisted conductor, offering excellent tensile strength and the ability to withstand certain external forces.


*Waterproof and Moisture-Proof: The rubber-sheathed cable offers excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties, making it suitable for humid environments and underwater use.
