New Baofeng: What are the classifications of wires and cables

2022-03-15 16:07:00

Cable specifications refer to the representation of the number of cores and cross-sectional dimensions of wires and cables. The wire and cable products used in the power system mainly include overhead bare wires, busbars (busbars)

Xinbaofeng wire and cable classification


Bare wires and bare conductor products

The main characteristics of this type of product are: pure conductor metal, without insulation and sheath layers, such as steel core aluminum stranded wire, copper aluminum busbar, electric locomotive wire, etc.; the processing technology is mainly pressure processing, such as smelting, rolling, drawing system, stranding/compression stranding, etc.; the products are mainly used in suburban areas, rural areas, user main lines, switch cabinets, etc.


Xinbaofeng power cable

The main features of this type of product are: extruding (winding) the insulation layer on the conductor, such as overhead insulated cables, or twisting several cores (corresponding to the phase line, neutral line and ground wire of the power system), such as overhead insulated cables with more than two cores , or add a sheath layer, such as plastic/rubber sheathed wire and cable. The main process technologies include drawing, stranding, insulation extrusion (wrapping), cabling, armoring, sheath extrusion, etc. There are certain differences in the different process combinations of various products.

The products are mainly used in the transmission of strong electric energy in generation, distribution, transmission, transformation and power supply lines, with large currents (tens of tens of amps to thousands of amps) and high voltages (220V to 500kV and above).


Xinbaofeng Electrical Equipment Wires and Cables

The main features of this type of products are: a wide range of varieties and specifications, a wide range of applications, most of the operating voltages are 1kV and below, and new products are constantly derived for special occasions, such as fire-resistant cables, flame-retardant cables, low-smoke halogen-free/low-smoke Smoke-resistant low-halogen cables, termite-proof, mouse-proof cables, oil-resistant/cold-resistant/temperature-resistant/wear-resistant cables, medical/agricultural/mining cables, thin-walled wires, etc.
Communication cables and optical fibers

With the rapid development of the communications industry in the past two decades, products have also developed at an alarming rate. From the simple telephone and telegraph cables in the past, it has developed into thousands of pairs of voice cables, coaxial cables, optical cables, data cables, and even combined communication cables. The structural dimensions of such products are usually small and uniform, and require high manufacturing precision.


Derivatives/new products of Xinbaofeng wire and cable:

Derivatives/new products of wires and cables are mainly due to the use of new materials, special materials, or changes in product structure due to different application situations, application requirements, convenience of equipment, and reduction of equipment costs.

  • Use different materials such as flame-retardant cables, low-smoke halogen-free/low-smoke low-halogen cables, termite-proof, mouse-proof cables, oil-resistant/cold-resistant/temperature-resistant cables, etc.;
  • Change product structure such as: fire-resistant cables, etc.;
  • Improve process requirements such as: medical cables, etc.;
  • Combination products such as: OPGW, etc.;
  • Convenient installation and reduced equipment costs such as prefabricated branch cables, etc.
