UV-resistant cables

Why should cables be UV-resistant?

UV-resistant cables have a service life that is up to 10 times longer. This not only reduces costs, but also minimizes installation effort and saves up to 90% plastic – which benefits our environment.

Cables that are not UV-resistant can also pose an increased risk. If the cable does not have UV stability, this can cause significant damage to the insulation and the protection of people and nature can no longer be guaranteed.

Another important advantage of choosing UV-resistant cables is the reliability and reduced downtime of electrical systems.

If, in an extreme case, 2 and 20 years are opposite, this means a lifespan that is up to 10 times longer, which saves up to 90% of plastic and a lot of installation effort.

Outdoor

UV rays destroy the polymer chains of the plastic and make it brittle and cracked, thereby reducing its mechanical properties. Microbes and moisture can now penetrate through microcracks and damage the material even further. If the jacket is broken, the cable core is exposed to environmental influences and safety is no longer guaranteed. This means that the cable needs to be replaced. If cables are not UV-resistant, in extreme cases they will need to be replaced after just a few years. Our best materials have been tested at a radiation dose equivalent to 20 years of UV exposure in Central Europe.

Products

Indoor

UV rays are not just something to be aware of outdoors. Even behind window glass, not everything harmful is filtered out. Added to this are the increasingly popular daylight lamps, which, depending on the model, contain a certain amount of UVB so that vitamin D can be produced.
