The following are key measures and professional recommendations to extend the service life of waterproof cables:

‌1、 Core protection principles‌

1. ‌Tightly waterproof and moisture-proof‌

• ‌Sealing treatment of jointsWrap the joint 11 times with high-pressure self-adhesive tape (cover 1/2 of each turn), and wrap the outer layer with PVC tape for double protection to prevent water vapor from entering.

• ‌End oxidation preventionCable ends in humid environments need to be filled with silicone oil to remove moisture and prevent conductor oxidation.

2. ‌Avoid environmental erosion‌

• ‌Sunscreen and temperature controlAvoid long-term exposure to sunlight or high temperature environments (>60 ℃), as high temperatures can accelerate the aging and cracking of the outer sheath
  .

• ‌Chemical corrosion protectionChemical plants and coastal areas should prioritize the use of polyurethane (PUR) sheathed cables, which are resistant to acid, alkali, and seawater corrosion.

3. ‌Preventing mechanical damage‌

• ‌Standardized laying and installationAvoid bending and crushing through regular construction, and use steel wire braided armored cables to enhance tensile strength in dynamic scenarios such as robots.

• ‌External impact protectionInstall steel strip armor layer or protective sleeve on exposed areas
