What are the benefits of eco-friendly cables?

Addtime： 2025-03-12 Readings： Author: admin

Eco-friendly cable (also known as green cable or sustainable cable) refers to cable products that are manufactured with environmentally friendly materials, low-pollution processes, and comply with international environmental standards (e.g. RoHS, REACH, Halogen-Free, etc.). It has significant advantages in reducing environmental pollution, safeguarding human health and meeting regulatory requirements. The following are the main benefits of eco-friendly cables:

1. Reduce environmental pollution
No harmful substances: no heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺), etc., avoiding soil and water pollution.

Low-toxicity flame retardant: Halogen-free materials (e.g., polyolefins) are used, which do not release toxic gases (e.g., dioxins, hydrogen halides) when burning, reducing secondary injuries in fires.

Recyclable: Materials can be degraded or regenerated for disposal, reducing the pressure of e-waste on the environment.

2. Safeguard human health and safety
No volatile hazardous substances: no release of benzene, formaldehyde and other carcinogenic substances during production and use, protecting the health of workers and end-users.

Low smoke and non-toxicity: low smoke concentration in case of fire, avoiding the risk of asphyxiation of personnel (in accordance with IEC 60754, EN 50399 and other standards).

3. Meet international environmental regulations
Compliance: Comply with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), REACH (Registration of Chemicals), WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recycling) and other regulations to avoid trade barriers.

Industry certification: Pass UL ECO mark, TÜV Green Product and other certifications to enhance the competitiveness of products in the market.

4. Enhance corporate social responsibility (ESG) image
Green Supply Chain: Satisfy customers' (e.g. Apple, Tesla, etc.) sourcing requirements for environmentally friendly materials and enhance brand reputation.

Sustainable development: meet the carbon neutral target and help companies realize ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) commitments.

5. High performance and long life
Strong weather resistance: environmentally friendly materials (e.g. cross-linked polyethylene XLPE) are resistant to high temperatures and oxidation, extending the service life of cables.

Stable electrical performance: excellent insulation performance, reducing signal loss, suitable for precision equipment (e.g. medical, data center).

6. Application Scenarios
Consumer electronics: cell phone and laptop charging cables (e.g. Apple USB-C cable with halogen-free design).

New energy field: photovoltaic cable, electric vehicle charging pile cable (UV-resistant, pollution-free).

Building and home: indoor wiring, smart home systems (safe and flame retardant).

Medical equipment: medical robots and imaging equipment connection cables with high requirements for non-toxicity and sterility.
