Wire and cable industry

Safe, functional and economical: plastic parts in the wire and cable industry

The versatility of plastics processing makes it possible to develop customised solutions for a wide range of applications in the wire and cable industry. Our standard round caps, which fulfil several application purposes, are particularly popular:

Occupational safety: Round caps safely protect against injuries when handling loose cable ends.
Transport protection: The caps reliably prevent damage to the cable end during transport.
Labelling: The marking with round caps in different colours allows different cable thicknesses to be distinguished at a glance. The cable reels can also be easily labelled against theft using the caps.

Advantages of soft PVC immersion parts

PVC-P plastic, also known as W-PVC or soft PVC, is characterised by its high elasticity, excellent dielectric strength and insulating properties. The material is temperature-resistant in the range from -30°C to around 60°C, whereby special variants can even be used from -40°C to 120°C. PVC-P is also resistant to salt solutions, diluted acids and alkalis. In industry, moulded parts made of PVC-P are used in a wide range of applications, for example as sealing caps for cables or as peel-off and round caps for covering and protecting various components.

Insulation and protection

An important task of plastic parts in the cable industry is the electrical insulation and mechanical protection of the conductors:

In most cases, dipped round caps are used to protect cable and wire ends. However, injection-moulded parts are also used to encase and insulate cable ends, joints and connections. This prevents short circuits and protects against moisture.
In addition to the dipped caps, dipped parts are also used to provide cables and wires with a continuous plastic coating. This insulating layer protects against electric shocks and mechanical damage.

Colour coding and marking

Plastic parts enable simple colour coding and identification of cables:

Injection-moulded parts can be produced in different colours to identify cable types or functions.
Cables can be coated in different colours by dipping, which makes identification easier.

Design and functionality

The moulding possibilities of plastic parts make it possible to integrate special functions:

Injection moulded parts enable the production of complex connectors, cable guides or strain reliefs.
Immersion parts can be flexibly designed to optimise cable bending radii or integrate vibration damping.
