What Are The Factors That Accelerate The Aging Of Plastic Cable Waterproof Connectors?

Whether the cable connection is reliable or not is directly related to the smoothness of data transmission during use. Although the service life of the cable is relatively high, the service life of the plastic cable waterproof joint is only ten to fifteen years. Therefore, the aging of the joint is something that needs to be paid attention to. Then what factors will accelerate the aging of the plastic cable waterproof joint?

The factors that accelerate the aging of Nylon Cable Gland are roughly as follows:

1. Insulation moisture.

This situation is more common and is easy to occur at the cable joints in direct burial or drainage pipes. If the plastic cable waterproof joint is not made to standard, the humidity in the air is too high during installation, etc., which will cause water to enter the joint. Under the action of the electric field, the water vapor inside the joint will damage the insulation part of the cable.

2. Oxidation.

The expansion coefficients of cable waterproof joints of different materials are different, that is, different materials have different gap sizes when processing and making cable waterproof joints. For example, the plastic cable waterproof joint is not tightly sealed, or the size of the cable and the joint does not match, which will cause the cable shielding layer to oxidize.

3. Long-term overload operation.

If the material of the inner and outer conductors of the cable is different from that of the plastic cable waterproof connector, then charge will accumulate during long-term use, affecting the normal electric field and even aging of the connector and cable.

The three points introduced above are all factors that accelerate the aging of plastic cable waterproof connectors. I hope you can pay attention to them when using this product.
