If you are about to buy wire or cable, for the first time, or even if you have purchased in the past, it is possible that daunting task. After all Most dealers stock thousands of wire and cable products. Your application may require the ribbon cable, but the specific ribbon cable should you buy? Having choices is important, but with so many options, decisions can be overwhelming.
Do you know what questions to ask? Before starting a search, equipped with the right knowledge. Background information combined with a basic setup can provide some command during the purchase process. In the article, "Specification of high-performance cable: The devil is in the details", Alpha Wire Company, assessing four main issues to consider. These cables are shielded, flexibility, chemical resistance and temperature range.
Armor
When purchasing cable, be sure to explore the cable. shielding ensures that the electrical process runs smoothly. An engineer will tell shielding minimizes the problems of input or output signal caused by interference. Types include braid, paper, spiral, or a combination braid / shield. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages:
Foil Shields:
Applications: CATV, MATV, video, computer I / S Cable
Advantages: Coverage 100% of the cable, low weight and low cost
Disadvantages: high DC resistance and lower mechanical resistance
Braid Shield:
Uses: teams end interconnection for the process or control applications
Advantages: structural integrity, flexibility and flex life
Disadvantages: does not provide full coverage, heavy
Spiral Shield:
Uses: In microphone, and audio cables retractable cable
Advantages: flexibility and flex life
Disadvantages: Not effective above the audio frequency range
Combination Shields:
Applications: Video, CATV, MATV, networks, computer I / O Cables
Advantages: 100% coverage foil, a High-strength low
Disadvantages Higher shields cost than other
Chemical Resistance
An engineer will tell you that electric cables have different levels of chemical resistance, but there may be more than that. You should know that the chemicals could present a potential problem throughout the life of the cable. They also consider that the oil and chemical vapors or corrosive liquids could be in the connections cable. Any intrusion of chemicals could lead to failure of cable. You may need to add more than sealed to prevent penetration moisture.
Temperature
Temperature range is another essential factor in the mix of things. What temperatures will his need to support cable to be effective? You can find a cable that has all the necessary electrical characteristics required for extreme temperatures, but Will it be able to adapt to the physical demands associated with that temperature?
Flexibility & Flex
A flexible cable can make installation and troubleshooting much easier. But did you know that "bend" is a different question that needs to be addressed? Due to the nature of many manufacturing applications, cables can find constant bending. Special cables are built better for this than others.
Conclusion
There is more to find the ideal cable meets the eye. Do not be intimidated by the election. A cable exists for almost any application environment and if you know what to look for. Spend some time asking the right questions and consider all angles.
