Generally speaking, the service life of wire and cable is not less than 20 years, but external factors often affect the length of its life, such as insulation layer damage, aging, corrosion, etc., in the actual use of the process, the reason for cable aging is all aspects, so how to extend the service life of the cable?

The length of the service life of the wire depends on the quality of the wire and the environment in which the wire is installed and used. Wire mainly rely on the outside layer of insulation, a long time, by corrosive gas corrosion, insulation performance gradually reduced, slowly aging and hardening, brittle or fall off, then there is no insulation effect. The insulation layer of the exterior of the household wire is made of plastic and rubber, which will age and lose the insulation effect after a long time of use. Wires lose insulation performance is very dangerous, if two wires touch together or the fire line meets with the earth, there will be electricity running phenomenon, so that the temperature of the local wire rises, sparks, accidents.

First, avoid man-made damage

The wire directly laid on the outer wall must be careful not to damage, the wire mainly relies on the outer insulation layer insulation, when the wire aging hard, brittle or fall off, the surface insulation performance will be reduced.

2. Pay attention to moisture

Wire and cable should pay attention to moisture, in the wet case, water immersed in the metal conductor is more likely to short-circuit leakage, in addition to affecting the service life of the wire, but also easy to cause accidents.

Third, prevent exposure to the sun and aging

There are a lot of LAN cables are under the eaves, this time to pay attention not to exposure, the ambient temperature should not be too high. Because the ultraviolet radiation will accelerate the aging of the cable, thereby shortening the service life.

4. Pay attention to storage

When the wire is stored, it is strictly prohibited to contact with acid, alkali and mineral oil, and it should be isolated from these corrosive substances. Avoid storing cables exposed in the open air if possible.

5. Regular inspection

When it is normally used, the use of electricity and lines in the home should be checked regularly, and timely maintenance, overhaul and replacement should be carried out.
