What is the difference between YC, YZ and YH cables?

2025-08-28 Leave a message

Both YC and YZ are rubber-sheathed cables, consisting of multiple strands of fine copper wire and a rubber insulation sheath. YC is a heavy-duty rubber-sheathed flexible cable suitable for large mobile electrical equipment, while YZ is a medium-duty rubber-sheathed flexible cable suitable for various mobile electrical equipment and tools. YC and YZ have different voltage ratings and models.


YC and YZ are both types of rubber-sheathed cables, each consisting of multiple strands of fine copper wire as the conductor, covered with rubber insulation and a rubber sheath. They are flexible, portable cables. Other cable types include YCW, YZW, and YHF. These W-type derivatives offer weather resistance and a certain degree of oil resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use or exposure to oil and dirt.


YC and YCW cables are heavy-duty rubber-sheathed flexible cables, primarily used in large mobile electrical equipment such as port machinery, searchlights, and large household hydraulic drainage and irrigation stations. YCW is also suitable for outdoor use or exposure to oil and dirt. They require strong wear and pressure resistance, the ability to withstand significant mechanical forces, and a complete range of specifications with excellent and stable performance.


YZ and YZW cables are medium-duty rubber-sheathed flexible cables used in various mobile electrical equipment and tools, and are widely used in industrial and agricultural electrification.


What are the differences between YC, YZ, and YH cables?


1. Different Characteristics


YC, YZ, and YH are all types of rubber-sheathed cables, consisting of multiple strands of fine copper wire as conductors, covered with rubber insulation and a rubber sheath. They are flexible, portable cables.


① As a heavy-duty rubber-sheathed flexible cable, YC withstands strong forces on mobile electrical equipment, requiring a thicker sheath. The long-term operating temperature should not exceed 60°C.


② As a medium-duty rubber-sheathed flexible cable, YZ withstands less forces on mobile electrical equipment, requiring a thinner sheath.


2. Different Voltage Ratings


① The rated voltage of the YC type is 450/750V;


② The rated voltage of the YZ type is 300/500V.


3. Different Models


② The latter models include 0.75mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 4mm, and 6mm.
