Insulated cables are cables that are wrapped in a non-conductive insulating material. These cables generally have better dielectric strength than standard cables. Let's discuss the uses and characteristics of insulated cables.
What is insulated cable?
Currently, common non-conductive insulating materials include epoxy, plastic, PVC, and silicone. Using these materials as cable sheaths prevents contact between the conductors and external components, preventing electrical leakage or short circuits.
What materials are used for insulated cables?
In terms of application, insulated cables are widely used. For example, the majority of household appliance connection cables used in our homes are insulated cables. Many large and medium-sized multi-story buildings, electrical equipment, and power installations also use insulated cables.
The type and specification of insulated wire are directly related to its application. Different letters not only represent different types and specifications, but also different applications. For example, R indicates soft copper core wire, S indicates Category 5 twisted pair cable, and P indicates shielded cable.
The above is an introduction to what insulated cables are and what the raw materials of insulated cables are. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
