The role of cable casing

What is casing pipe

Casing refers to a protective device that fixes cables, pipes, etc. to mechanical equipment or buildings. The material of the casing is generally plastic, metal or rubber, and has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-corrosion, insulation, etc.

What is cable casing

Cable casing is a tubular material specially used to protect wires and cables, usually made of polyurethane, PVC, rubber, aluminum alloy and other materials. Its function is to form a protective cover on the outside of the wires and cables to prevent the influence of external environmental factors on the wires and cables, such as anti-corrosion, waterproof, fireproof, etc. Cable casing is a classification of casing.

The role and use of cable casing

1. Protect wires and cables

The main function of cable casing is to protect wires and cables. It can not only effectively protect wires and cables from the influence of the external environment, but also prevent wires and cables from damage and friction during transportation and installation, and extend their service life.

2. Anti-corrosion, waterproof, fireproof

The cable casing is wrapped with a protective cover on the outside, which can effectively prevent it from being affected by factors such as moisture and corrosion, and ensure the transmission quality of wires and cables. At the same time, cable casing can also effectively prevent accidents such as fire.

3. Increase the mechanical strength of the cable

Adding a protective layer to the cable sheath will increase the mechanical strength of the cable, making it less susceptible to external damage and able to withstand a certain load.

4. Wide range of uses

Cable sheaths have been widely used in construction, aviation, energy, railways, telecommunications and other fields, such as underground cable lines in construction, airborne cable lines in aviation, cable line joints in the energy and petrochemical fields, and cable lines in railway signals.

Conclusion

As a special pipe for protecting wires and cables, cable sheaths have multiple characteristics such as anti-corrosion, waterproof, and fireproof. In modern industrial production and life, they are undoubtedly a very useful material.
