Is It Necessary To Use An Aluminum Alloy Cable With Special Cable Terminal Blocks For An Aluminum Alloy?

cable terminal blocks

With the development of the cable industry, the advantages of copper-core cable are more. Copper-core cables occupy an absolute advantage over aluminum-core cables in the cable market. However, the high price of copper-core cable also caused an increase in production costs, and also bad construction. The aluminum-core cable as a cable industry “foreign army” emerged, in the market’s favor.

I. Remove Metal Stains, Get A Clean Cable Terminal Lug

Removing metal stains prior to cable connection is an important prerequisite for ensuring cable lug quality.

  1. Remove metal residues from the conductor surface by wiping.
  2. Inspect the conductor connection section and remove any visible oxides.
  3. Ensure that the conductor surface is free of metal residues, otherwise, conductor corrosion in the contact area will occur.
  4. Ensure that the decontamination of all components has been completed.

What is The Purpose of Low-Voltage Shielded Cables? And The Way to Prevent Damage to Shielded Cables?


What is The Purpose of Low-voltage Shielded Cables?

A shielded cable is a transmission line that uses a metal mesh braid to encase the signal line. The braiding layer is usually red copper or tinned copper. The wire and cable industry is the second-largest industry in China, after the automobile industry. The product variety satisfaction rate and domestic market share are over 90%. In the world, China’s total wire and cable output value has surpassed that of the United States, becoming the world’s largest wire and cable producer. Along with the rapid development of China’s wire and cable industry, the number of new enterprises has been rising, and the overall technical level of the industry has been significantly improved.

Is Low Smoke Halogen-Free and Environmentally Friendly Cable The Same? What Is The Difference?


Environmentally friendly cables are those that do not produce toxic and harmful substances before, during, and after use. For example, it does not contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and mercury, and does not contain brominated flame retardants. The environmental performance test by SGS recognized testing agency, in line with the EU environmental protection directive and higher than its index requirements. No harmful halogen gas, no corrosive gas, less fever when burning, no soil pollution of wire and cable.
