Common materials used in cable extrusion include:
- Copper: Widely used for its excellent electrical conductivity.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A versatile polymer used for insulation and jacketing due to its durability and flexibility.
- PE (Polyethylene): Known for its good insulation properties and resistance to moisture.
- XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene): Offers superior thermal and electrical properties, making it ideal for high-performance cables. These materials must be of high purity and specific formulations to ensure the desired cable characteristics and performance.
