Reasons for Blackening of Rubber Cable Glue and Copper Wire

Image
Some manufacturers use ordinary copper in the production of rubber sheathed cables , because copper itself is not oxygen-free copper, and the surface of the copper wire will inevitably be oxidized during processing. Due to the processing of the copper rod, especially the mastery of the toughening process, and the poor storage conditions of the processed copper wire core, the copper wire core itself is slightly oxidized. This is also one of the reasons for the blackening of copper. The insulation of rubber cables is formulated from natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber. Since the insulating rubber is in direct contact with the copper wire, sulfur cannot be directly used as a vulcanizing agent, and even a small amount of sulfur will make the copper wire black. Some compounds that can decompose free sulfur must be used, such as accelerator TMTD, and vulcanizing agent VA-7. It is also necessary to use some vulcanization accelerators to increase the vulcanization rate and deg...

Coaxial Vs. Twisted-Pair Cables: What Should I Choose?

Image
The modern communications and networking cable market is oversaturated with offers, so it can be difficult to choose the best cable for your particular application. In this article, we compare the most popular types of network cables, coaxial and twisted pair cables, to help you make an informed choice. We focus on the differences between the various subtypes of these cables and the benefits of each. What is the coaxial cable? A coaxial cable is an advanced signal transmission cable that consists of a round solid conductor, a grounded conductor, three layers of insulation, and a strong metal shield. The signal transmission in a coaxial cable is carried out with the help of an internal conductor. Coaxial cable is used for the transmission of Ethernet and video signals. It is known for its excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference and its ability to convert signals over long distances. What is a twisted pair cable? A twisted pair cable is a communications cable consisting of...
