Antifreeze Measures For Wire And Cables

Because the wires and FFTP CAT6A Cable are overhead outdoors, the surface is easily covered with snow and ice. When the weight of the ice layer exceeds the bearing capacity of the wire and cable, it is easy to cause the cable to pull the transmission tower, or pull the utility pole, and the cable itself breaks. Well, to avoid this from happening, there are two ways to mitigate it:

1. First of all, in the selection of materials, pay attention to choosing cables that can withstand cold. As ice and snow fall on the cables and in the gaps between the cables, the center of gravity of the cables tends to be biased toward the snow-covered parts, which generates a force that makes the cables spin, and the snowballs roll bigger and bigger, eventually breaking. Therefore, cable rotation is the main cause of icing. And if the cable is a hard conductor when enough snow accumulates, it is not easy to twist, and the snow will automatically fall off the wire. At the same time, due to the different hardness and density of the cables, when the snow gradually solidifies to the ice, it will automatically fragment to a certain extent.

2. Second, apply antifreeze paint on the wires and UTP Cat6 Patch Cord Cable. The so-called antifreeze coating is actually a high-temperature thermal insulation coating or a reflective thermal insulation coating. It is designed to prevent freezing by keeping warm. In addition, it also generally has the functions of waterproof, anti-corrosion, moisture-proof, crack-proof, fire-proof, insulation, and so on.
