About Lesson
Mechanical and Environmental Considerations
-
Flexibility:
- Bend Radius: Minimum bend radius specified to prevent damage during installation and operation. Typically 6 to 12 times the outer diameter of the cable.
- Tensile Strength: Ensures the cable can withstand pulling forces during installation.
-
Chemical and Environmental Resistance:
- Chemical Resistance: Specifications for resistance to oils, solvents, and acids.
- UV Resistance: For outdoor cables, resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation to prevent degradation.
