UL-21445 internal cable for electronic and electrical appliances is rated for 80°C, classifying it as a high-temperature resistant wiring cable. The UL-Cable has a rated voltage of 30V and uses single or stranded copper conductors, with options for...
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is used as the sheath or insulation material in TPE Cables. PVC material is sometimes referred to as "third-generation synthetic rubber" because it combines the high elasticity, softness, and weather resistance of conventional rubber with the benefits of thermoplastics, such as ease of processing and recyclability. TPE does not require vulcanization during the production process because waste materials or scraps can be directly recycled and reused. This makes it highly compatible with modern manufacturing's dual pursuit of efficiency and environmental protection. As a result, TPE cables are gradually outperforming conventional PVC cables in a variety of applications, particularly those that call for high flexibility, comfortable touch, and environmental performance.
With their exceptional wear resistance, tear resistance, and incredibly soft hand feel, TPE cables perform exceptionally well. They avoid the typical embrittlement and hardening phenomena of conventional cables by remaining flexible even at extremely low temperatures as low as -40°C. They have very low toxicity and smoke emissions when burning, are free of dangerous compounds like phthalates and halogens, and adhere to stringent environmental protection laws like RoHS and REACH. These qualities have made TPE cables a popular option for consumer electronics that come into direct contact with users, such as wearables, high-end headphones, data cables, medical equipment, kids' products, automotive interiors, and outdoor applications. It is a sustainable, secure, and forward-thinking material solution rather than just a cable.
TPE Cable
TPE cables are a common cable type in UL cable classifications and are widely used in various electronic, industrial, and power systems. As the name suggests, flat cables have a flat, ribbon-like structure, allowing for efficient space utilization and accommodating high-density wiring needs. Flat cable design offers unique advantages such as high flexibility, ease of installation, and space saving, making them particularly suitable for installation in compact and constrained spaces.

FAQ
What applications are TPE cables commonly used for?
TPE cables are widely used in:
Industrial Automation: For connecting control systems, robots, sensors, and machinery in automated production environments.
Automotive Industry: For wiring in cars, trucks, and other vehicles, particularly in engine compartments and interiors, where high-temperature and oil-resistant cables are needed.
Building and Power Systems: Used for flexible wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, providing reliable power and signal connections.
Consumer Electronics: Found in electronic devices like televisions, computers, and printers, where flexibility and durability are required.
Renewable Energy: Used in solar panel connections, wind energy systems, and other renewable energy applications, where cables must withstand environmental factors.
Can TPE cables handle high-voltage applications?
TPE cables are typically designed for low to medium-voltage applications. They are well-suited for powering equipment and transmitting signals, but they are not typically used for high-voltage power transmission. For high-voltage or high-power applications, other types of cables, such as XLPE or PVC cables, may be more suitable.
Are TPE cables suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, TPE cables are suitable for outdoor use. TPE materials naturally offer UV resistance, which prevents degradation caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight. In addition, TPE cables can withstand moisture, making them appropriate for outdoor installations. However, for extreme outdoor conditions, such as direct exposure to chemicals or high UV radiation, it is important to ensure that the specific TPE cable is designed with extra protection, such as additional UV-resistant sheathing or a reinforced jacket.
