What is the function of the cable terminal?

Date:08-18-2021

The cable terminal head integrates waterproofing, stress control, shielding, and insulation, and has good electrical and mechanical properties, and can be used for a long time under various harsh environmental conditions. So what is the function of the cable terminal? Let me introduce it to you in the following article:

First, it plays a role of insulation, and secondly, the cable terminal head also functions as waterproofing, stress control, shielding, and so on. The cable terminal has good electrical and mechanical properties, so it can be used for a long time in a variety of harsh environments. It also has the advantages of light weight and convenient installation. The main applications are in various industries such as electric power, petrochemical, metallurgy, railway ports and construction.

The function of the cable terminal head is divided into low voltage and high voltage to talk about it in detail. In fact, where is the low voltage terminal head function is mainly the insulation, sealing and so on mentioned above. The high-voltage cable terminal heads will be separated, because the high-voltage cable terminal heads are divided into indoor and outdoor. Of course, the difference between the indoor high-voltage cable terminal head and the low-voltage cable terminal head is mainly in the withstand voltage level.

In addition, the cable terminal head functions. Outdoors have rain-proof umbrella skirts, which can keep out the rain and increase the insulation gap. Two indoors without rain-proof umbrella skirts, the others are exactly the same. Indoor cable terminal heads cannot be used outdoors, because there is no waterproof umbrella skirt, and the insulation is not enough in rainy days. Outdoor cable terminal heads can be used indoors. The solder joints can be insulated and effectively protected.
The cable terminal head is mainly used to connect one end of the cable with other equipment; if you want to connect one end of the two cables into a cable line, you need to use the cable middle joint, the cable middle joint and the cable terminal head are collectively called the cable head . The main function of the cable head is to seal the cable. Because both ends of the cable are sealed when they leave the factory, they must be cut apart when they are used. In this way, the original seal will be destroyed. At this time, the cable head is needed to assist in achieving its function.
