Comparison of flat cable and round cable

I believe that in the minds of many people, they will think that the cables are round, so there is no such thing as a flat cable, but in fact they do not know the existence of a flat cable, and the application of this cable is still very much In general, if you want to know about flat cables, let's take a look at the difference between flat cables and round cables!

A flat cable or ribbon cable is a flat wire formed by combining many wires together. This kind of cable is low in cost, light in weight, strong in toughness, and easy to use in both large equipment and small equipment.

Flat cable has the characteristics of heat resistance, cold resistance, acid and alkali resistance.

Installation range of flat cable and round cable

Flat cable is suitable for mobile electrical power transmission lines and control, lighting, communication channels, such as lifting equipment, cable tracks, trolleys, transmission machinery, elevators, cranes, tower cranes, telescopic machinery and equipment in special places, and can also be used in closed indoor environments Connection and installation of moving mechanical parts, etc. Compared with round cables, flat cables have the advantages of saving installation space and cost, and with the same number of core wires, the bending radius is smaller than round cables.

Difference between flat cable and round cable

First of all, for a flat cable, the obvious difference between it and a round cable is that there is a significant difference in the shape of the two. As the name suggests, the shape of flat cables is flat, and the shape of round cables is round, which is the difference in appearance, and the internal structure is definitely different. The internal cable wires are arranged in rows. For round cables, they are fixed together to form a round cable!

On the other hand, the applications of the two are also significantly different, because the structure of the flat cable is more special. When the number of core wires is exactly the same, compared to round cables, the flat cable has a larger bending amplitude, so In some cases where it is often necessary to bend the cable, the flat cable can be competent, and it can avoid breaking due to frequent bending, so it can be widely used in various mobile electrical equipment, such as various starting equipment elevators And tower cranes!
