China [CN]

Different types of automotive cables are mainly designed according to different use environments and power requirements. The following are the differences and selection suggestions for different types of cables:

Different types of automotive cables are designed according to different usage environments and power requirements, as follows:

Low-voltage cables: suitable for power supply of low- and medium-power electrical appliances and equipment in automobiles, such as car audio, interior lighting, etc. Low-voltage cables usually use copper cores and PVC insulation materials. The price is relatively low, and installation and maintenance are simple. It is recommended to choose products that meet national standards.

High-voltage cables: For high-voltage batteries and electric drive systems in new energy vehicles, high-voltage cables are required to ensure safety and reliability. High-voltage cables usually use copper-aluminum alloy wire cores and special insulating materials, such as silicone rubber, polyimide, etc. The price is relatively high, and professional skills and tools are required for installation and maintenance. It is recommended to choose products with a good brand reputation and in line with international standards.

Data communication cables: More and more devices and systems in modern cars need data communication, such as car navigation, car networking, etc. Data communication cables need to meet the characteristics of high-speed transmission, anti-interference, waterproof and dustproof, and usually use twisted pair or coaxial cables. It is recommended to choose products whose brand and specifications meet the requirements of vehicle manufacturers.

Other special cables: such as anti-freeze cables, charging cables, etc., select the appropriate product according to the specific use environment and power requirements.

In general, to choose a cable suitable for your own vehicle, you need to consider the vehicle type, power requirements, safety and reliability, etc. It is recommended to choose a product with a good brand reputation, specifications that meet international standards and the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer, and pay attention to maintenance and use.
