HUBER+SUHNER has introduced a silicone-free RADOX® anti-capillary cable to meet the demand in the automotive market for barrier-sealed copper cables.
This is an important development in the design of copper cables, where the demand for longer lasting cables has led to the development of innovations such as the anti capillary cable, to prevent the ingress of moisture.
According to the press release , “The grease-like filling material is a compound developed by HUBER+SUHNER that is produced in the company’s own compounding facility in Switzerland. Since it is silicone free, it does not form an undesirable foam when it comes into contact with transmission fluid. The compound can also withstand the electron-beam crosslinking process and, as a result, this HUBER+SUHNER cable also features an electron-beam crosslinked RADOX® insulating material. They are particularly resistant to high and low temperatures, ozone and weathering, and are characterised by their excellent abrasion resistance”
This is one of the first cables of it’s type that we have seen on the commercial market; others have been available for very specialist applications however, for the mass production market this is a true innovation.
Hopefully these types of innovations mean that electronics in vehicles, machinery etc will last longer, and that they will extend the lifespan of electronic / electrical devices – good news all around!
