Wire and cable products are mainly divided into five categories:

1. Bare wire and bare conductor products

The main features of this kind of products are: pure conductor metal, no insulation and sheath layer, such as steel core aluminum stranded wire, copper aluminum bus bar, electric locomotive line, etc. The processing technology is mainly pressure processing, such as melting, rolling, drawing, stranding/tight stranding, etc. The products are mainly used in suburbs, rural areas, user main lines, switch cabinets, etc.

2. Power cable

The main features of this type of product are: squeezing (winding) the insulation layer outside the conductor, such as overhead insulated cables, or stranded several cores (corresponding to the phase, zero and ground wires of the power system), such as overhead insulated cables with more than two cores, or adding a sheath layer, such as plastic/rubber sheathed wires and cables. The main process technologies include drawing, stranding, insulation extrusion (wrapping), cable formation, armor, sheath extrusion, etc. The different process combinations of various products have certain differences.

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

3. Wire and cable for electrical equipment

The main characteristics of this kind of products are: a wide range of varieties and specifications, a wide range of applications, and more use voltages of 1kV and below. In the face of special occasions, new products are constantly derived, such as fire-resistant cables, flame-retardant cables, low-smoke halogen-free/low-smoke low-halogen cables, termite-proof, mouse-proof cables, oil-resistant/cold-resistant/temperature-resistant/wear-resistant cables, medical/agricultural/mining cables, thin-resistant cables, thin-walled wires, etc.

4, communication cables and optical fiber (the company does not currently produce such products, so a brief introduction)

With the rapid development of the communication industry in the past two decades, the products have also developed at an amazing speed. From the past simple telephone and telegraph cables to thousands of pairs of telephone cables, coaxial cables, optical cables, data cables, and even combination communication cables.

This kind of product structure size is usually small and uniform, high manufacturing precision requirements.

5, electromagnetic wire (winding wire) (the company currently does not produce such products, so briefly introduced)

Mainly used for various motors, instruments, etc.

Derivative/new products of wire and cable:

The derivative/new products of wire and cable are mainly due to the different application occasions, application requirements and the convenience of equipment and the requirements of reducing the cost of equipment, etc., and the use of new materials, special materials, or changing the product structure to find the tadpole score?

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 the product structure such as: fire-resistant cable, etc;

Improve process requirements such as: medical cables, etc;

Combination products such as: OPGW, etc;

Easy installation and reduce equipment costs such as: prefabricated branch cables, etc.
