Frequently Asked Questions from TANO CABLE

PVC(Polyvinyl chloride) insulated PVC insulated cables are used in power distribution, building wire, appliance wiring, flexible cord and machine tool wiring which voltage is less than 0.6/1kV. Communications application use PVC coverings on a limited basis. Insulation and jacket made from PVC have a number of desireable properties that make them the insulation and jacketing material of choice for many common applications. There properties include flexibility, resistance to temperature, resistance to adverse environmentle situations and low cost.

The normal conductor materials are copper, aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper clad steel, aluminum clad steel, and some metal alloy used in thermocouple cable.

The normal outer sheath materials are PVC, PE, Rubber, Elastomer compound, and others special material as PPL used in submarine cable, above-mentioned material are compound, we can design them accord to users different requirement, for example flame resistance, fire proof, oil resistance, termite proof, anti-corrosion weather proof and so on.

We design the cable according to different standard or users requirement.

The cross-sectional area of metal screen in power cable according to the standard requirement, if the standard doesn’t required of this specification, we will design it accord to the user requirement, for example, we have to know the user’s used purpose, the short-current of user’s power system.

What is Flexible Cable? Flexible Cable is a cable that possesses flexibility for challenging cable positioning. We defines "flexibility" as "that quality of a cable or cable component which allows for bending under the influence of outside force." How many types of cable flexing are there? There are four common types of cable flexing movements. These include rolling flex, bending flex or "tic-toc," torsional flex and variable/random motion flex. Usually flexible cable are some kinds of rubber cable, control cable, instrument cable, welding cable and mine cable etc. In what types of applications would I use Flexible Cable? Flexible Cable is utilized in numerous applications to withstand the extreme stress of flexing and motion. A few applications include: drag chain applications, applications with repetitive bending and torsion stress, machine tools, data processing equipment, robotics, assembly lines, automation networking, microprocessor and computer interconnects and many more. Do Flexible Cables meet industry standards? Flexible Cable styles meet various approvals. Flexible Cable may be UL Listed, CSA certified, CE marked and/or meet military specifications. However, every flexible cable is different, so make sure to specify if your flexible cable needs one or more standards to be met.
