Technical Advantages

The elastomeric nature of rubber provides exceptional flexibility and mechanical strength to these cables. This is particularly advantageous in installations where cables must undergo frequent movement, bending, or vibration, such as in robotic systems, heavy machinery, or automotive applications. The robust rubber insulation resists cracking and retains its mechanical properties, even under constant flexing, preventing failures in dynamic environments. 

Rubber insulated cables excel in environments where exposure to aggressive chemicals, oils, or solvents is common. The rubber compounds used in insulation are engineered to resist chemical corrosion, ensuring the cables maintain their physical and electrical properties in the presence of oils, acids, alkalis, and other industrial chemicals. Additionally, the outer sheath is designed to withstand abrasion from rough surfaces or mechanical wear, which makes these cables highly reliable in industries like construction, mining, and automotive.

Fire-Resistant and Flame-Retardant Properties

Rubber insulated cables are available with fire-resistant compounds that prevent the spread of flames along the cable in case of fire. These properties are critical in industries where safety is paramount, such as mining, transportation, and offshore oil platforms. The use of halogen-free, low-smoke rubber materials in certain cables ensures that no harmful gases or smoke are released during combustion, reducing health risks and improving safety in confined spaces. 

The conductive material in Rubber Insulated Cables is usually copper or aluminum, chosen for their high electrical conductivity. These conductors are precisely sized to minimize resistance and ensure efficient power transfer. Copper conductors are typically used for applications requiring high-performance electrical systems, while aluminum is used in larger installations where weight and cost considerations are paramount.
