The difference and connection between a Radiation Resistant Cable and a regular cable

Radiation resistant cables and ordinary cables are two different types of cables with different characteristics and applications. Radiation resistant cable is a type of cable that uses fluoropolymers or other special materials as insulation materials. It has characteristics such as high temperature resistance, high voltage resistance, and radiation resistance, and is suitable for fields such as nuclear power, scientific research, and aerospace. Ordinary cable is a type of cable that uses polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or other common materials as insulation materials. It has the characteristics of low cost, easy processing, and wide use, and is suitable for general industrial, civil and other fields. There are several differences and connections between radiation resistant cables and ordinary cables:
Structure and size: Radiation resistant cables are usually designed in cylindrical or flat shapes, with various models and specifications that can be selected according to different application requirements. The insulation layer of radiation resistant cables is relatively thin, which can save space and weight, improve flexibility and reliability. The shielding layer of radiation resistant cables usually adopts spiral winding or weaving methods, which can provide a shielding effect of up to 100dB or more to prevent electromagnetic interference and noise. Ordinary cables are usually designed in cylindrical or flat shapes, with various models and specifications that can be selected according to different application requirements. The insulation layer of ordinary cables is thicker, which can provide good mechanical protection and isolation effect. The shielding layer of ordinary cables usually adopts methods such as metal foil or weaving, which can provide a certain degree of shielding effect and reduce external interference.
Physical and chemical properties: the insulation materials of radiation resistant cables have excellent physical and chemical properties, can maintain stable electrical performance in the temperature range from - 190 ° C to+260 ° C, and are not affected by humidity, ultraviolet light, ozone, grease, solvents and other factors, and have good anti-aging and anti-corrosion capabilities. The insulation material of radiation resistant cables also has environmental characteristics such as low smoke and zero halogen, and will not produce toxic or harmful gases in the event of fire or short circuit. The insulation material of ordinary cables has general physical and chemical properties, and can maintain normal electrical performance within the temperature range of -40 ° C to+90 ° C. However, it is susceptible to aging and corrosion due to factors such as humidity, ultraviolet radiation, ozone, grease, solvents, etc. The insulation material of ordinary cables may contain harmful substances such as halogens, which can produce toxic or harmful gases in case of fire or short circuit.
Electrical performance: Radiation resistant cables have electrical properties such as low loss, low dielectric constant, and low dielectric loss angle tangent, which can provide efficient and high-quality signal transmission in the high-frequency range. Radiation resistant cables also have electrical properties such as high insulation resistance, high breakdown voltage, and high dielectric strength, which can ensure safe and stable power supply in high-voltage environments. Radiation resistant cables also have good impedance control capabilities, which can maintain a constant impedance value within the range of 50 ohms ± 1 ohms, avoiding signal reflection and distortion. Ordinary cables have electrical properties such as general loss, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss angle tangent, which can provide normal signal transmission within a general frequency range. Ordinary cables have general electrical properties such as insulation resistance, breakdown voltage, and dielectric strength, which can ensure normal and safe power supply in general pressure environments. Ordinary cables have general impedance control capabilities and may experience issues with signal reflection and distortion.
Application field: Radiation resistant cables are widely used in nuclear power, scientific research, aerospace and other fields, providing high-speed, high-precision, and high reliability data transmission and signal transmission solutions. Radiation resistant cables can also be used in fields such as microwave, radio frequency, radar, etc., providing characteristics such as low loss, low noise, and low phase change. Radiation resistant cables can also be used in fields such as testing and measurement, instruments and meters, providing flexible, easy to connect, and easy to terminal processing characteristics. Ordinary cables are widely used in general industrial, civil and other fields, providing characteristics such as low cost, easy processing, and widespread use.
