In modern society, cables are key equipment for power transmission, and their quality directly affects electrical safety and the normal operation of equipment. However, the proliferation of counterfeit and non-standard products in the current cable market has brought great safety hazards and economic losses to consumers. Asia Cable will reveal common manifestations of counterfeit cables and provide effective countermeasures for consumers.

Common manifestations of counterfeit and non-standard cables

1. Extremely low price

Fake and inferior non-standard cable products often attract consumers with low prices, which are often more than 20% lower than normal market prices. Although low prices are attractive, they hide inferior materials and rough craftsmanship behind them.

2. Lack of necessary identification

Qualified cables should indicate the factory name, production license number, and relevant quality certification information. If this information is missing, it is likely to be a counterfeit product.

3. The color is not correct

The insulation layer and sheath color of the cable should comply with the national color code requirements. Due to the use of inferior materials, fake and inferior cables often have incorrect or non compliant colors, making it difficult to guarantee their performance and safety.

4. Poor conductor quality

The conductor of high-quality cables should be bright and flawless, while the conductor of fake and inferior cables often turns black, rusted, and even stained with oil. Such conductors not only have poor transmission performance, but are also highly prone to faults.

5. Poor quality of sheath

The sheath of qualified cables should be flat and smooth, while the sheath of counterfeit products is severely uneven, easily broken when pulled, and even has holes, cracks, and other phenomena. Using such cables is highly prone to safety accidents.

Consumer response measures

1. Choose legitimate channels to purchase

When purchasing cables, one should choose legitimate channels and avoid buying from merchants of unknown origin. The quality of products through legitimate channels is guaranteed, and the after-sales service is also relatively complete.

2. Carefully check product labeling

Carefully check the factory name, production license number, and 3C certification number on the surface of the cable when purchasing to ensure that the product comes from a legitimate source.

3. Pay attention to the match between price and quality

Avoid purchasing low-priced cables for the sake of cheapness, as the price of high-quality cables is directly proportional to their quality. Choose products at moderate prices to ensure reliable quality.

4. Consulting professionals

If there are doubts about the quality of the cable, you can consult professionals or electrical engineers to ensure that the purchased cable meets the usage requirements and safety standards.

Through the above methods, consumers can effectively identify counterfeit and non-standard cable products, ensure the purchase of reliable cable products, and guarantee electrical safety.
