What are the factors that affect cable performance？

Generally, cable manufacturers strictly produce according to standards to ensure product quality, but there are still some factors that affect the performance of cables. Let me introduce them to you.
1. Water: Moisture in twisted pair cables in a local area network can increase the capacitance of the cable, thereby reducing impedance and causing near end crosstalk problems.
2. Mechanical damage (repair cost): The repair of optical cables is very expensive, requiring at least two terminations at each breakpoint.
3. Grounding: If the shielding layer of the cable needs to be grounded, the corresponding standards must be followed.
4. Ultraviolet (UV): Do not use cables without UV protection in direct sunlight environments.
5. Heat: The temperature of cables in metal pipes or cable trays is very high, and many polymer materials will reduce their service life at this temperature.
The above five points are introduced to the factors that affect cable performance. If you need to order cables, please contact us.
