What is Multicore Cable

 

 

Multi-core cable is a cable that combines multiple signal or power feeds into a single sheathed cable. The term is generally used only for cables involving more cores than are normally encountered. Not all cables with multiple cores of insulated conductors are called multicore cables-the number of cores in a multicore cable refers to the number of available connections, not the number of conductors or wires. In most cases, a "usable connection" requires multiple conductors, such as the positive and negative conductors for a DC power supply.

Single-core cable VS. Multi-core cable

Number of conductors
Single-core cables have only one conductor, while multi-core cables have multiple conductors.

 

Scope of application
Single-core cables are suitable for scenarios where high voltage and high current need to be transmitted, such as oil refining, chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries. Multi-core cables are suitable for communication, data transmission, control systems, railway signal transmission and other fields, and can also be used for power supply of electrical equipment inside buildings and signal transmission on robots and mechanical equipment.

 

Anti-interference ability
single-core cable has high insulation performance and withstand voltage ability, and the electromagnetic interference is relatively small. The multi-core cable can not only transmit multiple signals at the same time, but also resist external electromagnetic interference to a certain extent.

How to Choose Multicore Cable

 

 

The purpose of the cable
To choose a suitable cable, you first need to consider its specific use. If it is a scene that needs to transmit high voltage and high current, it is recommended to choose a single-core cable; if it is necessary to transmit multiple signals or the cable needs to withstand certain electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to choose a multi-core cable.

 

Quality of cables
The quality of cables is an important factor affecting their service life and safety. It is recommended to choose a certified brand product, and pay attention to check whether the cable interface, insulation material and ground connection are in good condition.

 

Cable length
Whether the cable length is appropriate or not has a great influence on the transmission effect and safety of the cable. Cables that are too long increase the resistance of the cable itself, resulting in increased power loss, while cables that are too short may not be able to transmit power to the target device. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct accurate measurements according to actual needs when purchasing cables.

 

Environmental climate
The environmental climate also has an impact on the service life and safety of the cable. Some special application scenarios, such as humid environment or high temperature environment, need to select the corresponding cable to ensure its safety and stability.

 

 

Components of Multicore Cable

lectrical conductor: There are usually one or more copper wires. This is the part of the cable that transports electricity.

 

Insulation: Protects and insulates the conductor and ensures that the current does not escape from the cable.

 

Layer of filling: This lies between the insulation and the conductor. This gives it a circular and homogeneous appearance.

 

Cover: Protects the cable from the weather and external elements.

The Manufacturing Process of The Multi Core Cable
 

Intercept the multi-core cable length
After analyzing the manufacturing requirements of the cable, first, carefully check the manufacturing drawings, determine the cable according to the required model, and then intercept the length according to the demand.

 

Pre treat the multi-core cable
After the length of the cable is intercepted, a test shall be conducted to ensure that the tail cover of the electrical connector can pass through the cable. After determination, the stripping length of the surface layer of the cable shall be determined according to the length of the tail cover. Here, it shall be noted that the arc top shall be on the insulating layer of the cable as far as possible, so as to effectively avoid stress on the core wire. If the tail cover cannot pass through the cable, the outer insulating skin of the cable shall be cut symmetrically from both sides and turned out, and then bound with binding tape to ensure that the tail cover can pass through the cable.

 

Treat the shielding layer of the multi-core cable
Due to the actual needs, the shielded conductor is generally used as the core wire of the multi-core cable. In the process of processing, a core wire is usually reserved to connect with the shell of the electrical connector.

 

Identification of the multi-core cable
Identification mainly includes cable identification and core identification. When determining the cable identification, first select the appropriate sleeve according to the outer diameter of the cable, and then mark the sleeve; When determining the core wire identification, the sleeve shall be determined according to the thickness of the core wire and the size of the welding cup. After the identification is determined, the identification shall be driven in. After the identification of the cable is driven in, a transparent heat shrinkable sleeve shall be sleeved in the outer layer, which is conducive to the preservation of the identification and avoid blurring or disappearance of the identification due to some reasons after use for a period of time, which is not conducive to the follow-up work.

 

Pretreat the core wire of the multi core cable
On the basis that the cable core is stripped, the stripping length of the core insulation skin is determined according to the length of the welding cup in the connector. The tool usually used in the stripping process is stripping pliers, but the conductor shall be avoided from being damaged in the stripping process, and the core shall be inspected in time after stripping to ensure the gloss of the core. After these procedures are completed, the cable can be tinned, but it is necessary to ensure that the time is accurate, so as to ensure the quality of the cable.
