Source : Tianxing Cable | Release date : 2024-04-30
The service life of a soft-sheathed cable depends on a number of factors, including the quality of the cable, installation environment, service conditions, and maintenance. In general, if the soft-sheathed cable under normal conditions of use, and has been properly maintained, its service life can reach 20 years or more.

However, if the cable is in a harsh environment for a long time, such as high temperature, humidity, chemical corrosion, etc., or is affected by mechanical damage, overload and other factors, its service life may be shortened.

Therefore, in order to ensure the normal service life of soft sheathed cables, it is necessary to select reliable cable products, install and use in accordance with the specifications, and perform regular maintenance. At the same time, when the cable is found to be faulty or aging, it should be replaced in time to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents.

To extend the service life of the soft-sheathed cable, it can be considered and implemented from the following aspects:

1. Choose the right cable: When purchasing soft sheathed cables, you should choose products with reliable quality and in line with national standards, and ensure that its rated voltage, current and other parameters meet the actual needs of use.

2. Pay attention to the installation environment of the cable: When installing the soft-sheathed cable, avoid exposing it to harsh environments, such as high temperature, humidity, and chemical corrosion. If this cannot be avoided, appropriate protective measures should be taken, such as installing protective tubes and raising the erection height of cables.

3. Standard installation and use: Install according to the cable installation instructions and specifications to avoid applying too much tension, pressure or too small bending radius on the cable. At the same time, in the process of use, it should be ensured that the cable is not overloaded, not overheated, and to avoid long-term continuous use.

4. Regular inspection and maintenance: Check the soft-sheathed cable regularly, including whether the shell is damaged, whether the insulation is aging, and whether the connector is loose. If the problem is found, it should be handled and replaced in time. In addition, the cable should be cleaned and maintained regularly to keep it in good working condition.

5. Strengthen cable protection: In the place where the cable is vulnerable to mechanical damage or man-made damage, protective covers, warning signs and other facilities should be installed to remind personnel to pay attention to safety and prevent accidental damage.

Through the implementation of the above measures, the service life of the soft-sheathed cable can be effectively extended, and its safety and reliability can be improved. At the same time, it can also reduce the economic losses and security risks caused by cable failures.
