7 Minutes to Know Reason Why the Price of Hook Up Wire is More Expensive

Hook up wire is very common in our daily life, for example: television, air conditioner and so on. When the electrical wire and cable manufacturer orders the electronic wire raw materials, there may be such a problem. Let's explain why the same electronic wire will have a different price.  

Obligatory UL Certification

The production of hook up electronic wires shall comply with relevant technical standards and meet the testing requirements of relevant testing institutions. Commonly used hook up electronic wires, such as UL1007 hook up wire and UL1015 hook up wire, must be UL certified by UL Company, through SGS testing, etc., a electrical wire and cable manufacturer capable of producing UL standards of qualification and technical maintenance costs up to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.  Manufacturers that fail to obtain UL certification may be filled with inferior electronic wire materials using inferior copper wire and inferior plastic, although they have no qualification cost and low maintenance cost. 

More Require on Raw Material 

The main raw materials for producing hook up electric wires are insulation materials, copper wire and sheath materials Currently, copper wire, insulation materials such as electronic line of raw materials strict requirements for new electrolytic copper, insulated materials, etc., but some manufacturers use recycling used copper wire, used rubber, raw material cost is low, but the secondary copper purity is not enough, poor electrical conductivity, second-hand rubber, insulation molecular weight shortage, etc., are prone to accidents, worth our vigilance.

Obligatory ROHS Certification

ROHS standard of electrical products are mainly used for specification of materials and technology standards, eliminate the electronic electrical products in the lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PCBS) and polybrominated diphenyl ether and other harmful substances, to make it better for human health and the environment protection, the standard details the electronic wire prohibitions and restrictions on the use of harmful substances in raw materials.  With the introduction of ROHS environmental protection standards, electronic wire manufacturers need to be more careful and strict in the selection of raw materials.
