Rubber Cable

The rubber cable are cables whose insulation and sheath are based on different types of rubber or thermosetting elastomers with equivalent properties. Due to their characteristic flexibility, rubber cables are generally used in mobile electrical equipment. The mechanical and physical properties of rubber cables are used in many areas of the product. For example : general use, welding machines, electrical energy, marine, mining, wind energy, etc. One of the most common applications is that of mobile rubber cables for general use and mining cables.

Description of ZMS Rubber cables

ZMS Cable is devoted to the manufacture of various types of rubber cable. YQ, YQW, YZ, YC, etc. They are suitable for all kinds of small equipment and large mobile equipment.

We offer reliable solutions, safe and effective cables.

Nos isolated cable have good insulation and good mechanical properties to ensure a continuous and stable power supply.

Flexible rubber cables

Flexible rubber cables are suitable for a wide range of applications. In the industrial field, rubber cables are suitable for power supply, to order and transmit signals of various industrial equipment. They can also be used as a power cables for construction machines and equipment, such as cranes and cranes in turn.

Structure : Rubber cables use copper or aluminum as conductors. Rubber serves as insulation and sheath.

Standard : IEC 62067，IEC 60502，GB/T 12706-2008，ASTM B800

model number	tension nominale(V)	Number of hearts	Nominal section(mm²)
YQ,YQW	300/300	2,3	0.3-0.5
YZ,YZW	300/500	2,3,4,5	0.75-6
YC,Ycw	450/750	1,2,3,4,5	1.5-95

Rubber cable applications

YQ light : The full name of the model is a flexible cable Light rubber for general use, Used for light mobile electrical equipment and tools, with excellent flexibility, generally not supporting external force.

YZ medium : The full name of the model is a general, medium -sized rubber cable cable, For a variety of mobile equipment and tools, with sufficient flexibility, easy to move, bend, and which can bear the general mechanical force.

Heavy yc : The full name of the model is a general mobile heavy rubber cable, used in a variety of mobile electrical equipment, that can support significant mechanical forces, and that can bear their own drag strength, The sheath must have very high elasticity and mechanical resistance, but must also have a certain degree of flexibility to ensure movement and flexion.

Unarmored vs Armored EPR Cables

Criteria	Unarmored EPR cable	Armored EPR cable (SWA / STA)
Structure	Copper or aluminum conductor + isolation EPR + sheath	Driver + isolation EPR + metal armor + sheath
Mechanical protection	Standard	High
Flexibility	Very good	Average
Conditions d’installation	Interior, cable tray, protected installation	Buried pose, industrial environments, risk areas
Shock resistance	Limited	Reinforced
Cost	More economical	Higher
Typical applications	Fixed industrial installations, technical premises	Heavy industry, infrastructures, buried networks

ZMS CABLE expert advice – How to choose ?

The choice between an unarmored EPR cable and an armored EPR cable does not only depend on voltage, but above all real installation conditions.

Choose an unarmored EPR cable when flexibility is the priority, the ease of installation and that the cable is installed in a protected environment, without significant mechanical risks (indoor facilities, cable trays, zones techniques).
Opt for an armored EPR cable when the cable is subjected to mechanical stress, for buried installation or a demanding industrial environment.
Armor provides additional protection essential to guarantee safety, the sustainability and continuity of service of the network.

At ZMS Cable, we recommend always analyze the installation method, the environment and the expected lifespan of the project before defining the final structure of the EPR cable.
