Advantages and Disadvantages of Data Cables with Different Materials!

As the connector between the latest electronic equipment or between the electronic equipment and the power supply, the material selection of the data cable is very important. If the low-quality connecting wire is used, it will lead to extended charging time, unstable data transmission, fracture, and other hidden dangers, and may even lead to the scrapping or explosion of electronic equipment.

Today, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of data cables made of different materials.

PVC data cable

PVC is the initiator of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) in peroxide, azo compound, etc; Or polymers polymerized under the action of light and heat according to the mechanism of free radical polymerization.

Advantage

1. Low cost, good insulation, and weather resistance;

2. PVC data cable is relatively cheap.

Shortcoming

1. The texture is hard and the resilience is poor, which is easy to cause fracture and peeling;

2. The surface is rough and dull;

3. There is an obvious plastic smell, which will release harmful substances.

TPE data cable

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) material is a kind of material with the characteristics of high elasticity, high strength, and high resilience of rubber and injection molding processing.

Advantage

1. Excellent processing performance, excellent colorability, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance, and temperature resistance;

2. It is safe, non-toxic, without peculiar smell, and will not cause any irritation to human skin;

3. It can be recycled to reduce costs.

Shortcoming

1. It is not resistant to dirt;

2. No braided wire is solid;

3. Improper use may cause skin explosion.

Nylon braided data cable

Nylon-66, also known as nylon 66, polyamide-66, and polyhexamethylene adipamide, is a kind of nylon. It has the characteristics of flame retardancy, high strength, wear resistance, electrical insulation, etc. Its plastic raw materials are translucent, white, or black crystalline polymers, which are plastic. Nylon is the most powerful and wear-resistant fiber. Its abrasion resistance is 10 times that of cotton fiber, 10 times that of dry viscose fiber, and 140 times that of wet fiber.

Advantage

1. Increase the aesthetic feeling and external tensile capacity of the data line;

2. It is free of thread drawing, soft and bent, with excellent resilience, and is not easy to tangle or crease;

3. Excellent durability, not easy to deform.

Shortcoming

1. High hygroscopicity;

2. The dimensional stability is not enough.

Polyester fiber braided data cable

Polyester fiber is a synthetic fiber obtained from the spinning of polyester polycondensate from organic dibasic acid and diol, which is called PET fiber for short.

Advantage

1. Excellent wrinkle resistance, elasticity, and dimensional stability;

2. Good electrical insulation performance;

3. It is resistant to sunlight, friction, mold, and moth;

4. It has good resistance to chemical reagents and can withstand weak acids and bases.

Shortcoming

1. Poor alkali resistance;

2. Poor dyeing performance.
