Restrictions: PVC cables have a narrow operating temperature range and cannot be used in extreme high or low temperature environments, which may cause cable performance degradation or damage.

Toxic gas release: In case of fire or high temperature, PVC materials may release toxic gases, posing potential risks to human health.

Environmental impact: The production and processing of PVC cables may produce environmentally harmful chemicals, causing pollution and impact on the environment.

Aging easily: With long-term exposure to UV rays and chemicals, PVC cables may age and harden, reducing their service life and performance.

To sum up, PVC cable has the advantages of economical price, good insulation performance and easy installation, but it also has disadvantages such as temperature limitation, toxic gas release and environmental impact. When choosing to use PVC cable, you need to consider its advantages and disadvantages and make an appropriate decision based on the specific application environment and requirements.

Rubber cables are distinguished according to different rubber main bodies, and different main body materials have different performance differences. The rubber cable is soft, flexible, resistant to oil, acid, and alkali corrosion, high and low temperature, and can be used normally between minus 60 degrees and 120 degrees, and has a long service life. Generally, vulcanized rubber cables have better heat deformation than PVC rubber, but they have poor tear resistance and abrasion resistance and are easy to oxidize. Rubber cables are more expensive and more expensive than PVC cables and are generally used for temporary wiring. PVC cable is easy to soften at high temperature, and it is easy to be brittle at low temperature, and the safety factor is low. PVC cables are generally used when laying in cable trenches and have better oxidation resistance than rubber cables.
