waterproof connector cable applications
Waterproof connector cables are used in a variety of industries. If you are making a selection for a specific project or industry, you can contact us for further information on matching models, connector configurations or wire types.
Waterproof connector cable is commonly used in LED street light, landscape light, tunnel light, garden light and so on. These outdoor applications require a cable with high protection level (IP67/IP68), UV resistant jacket and quick plug and play installation. Common specifications include M12/M16 connector, 3~5 cores, PVC/PUR jacket.
Sensors, encoders, PLC, solenoid valves, servo systems use waterproof connector cable. It can provide anti-interference design (shielding) and high mechanical strength, and support fast connection. Common specifications are M8/M12, 3~8 cores, TPU jacket with shield.
Sewage pumps, submersible pumps, water purification equipment, automatic irrigation systems need waterproof connector cable with IP68 level waterproof. In addition to this, the cable should also use materials with high corrosion resistance, voltage resistance and electrical insulation performance. Common specifications include M16/M23, 2~4 cores, high current support.
The applications of waterproof connector cable on PV system include solar module connection, panel lead wire, inverter interface, etc. With IP67+ protection, it can effectively prevent dust and rainwater intrusion. And different cable lengths and stringing solutions can be customized according to actual applications. Common specifications are M12 / MC4 compatible connectors, double sheathed, weather resistant.
