Low-voltage thermostat systems are a staple of home climate control that nobody ever really notices, helping us keep our spaces comfortable while keeping energy efficiency in mind. These systems use networks of low-voltage cables to control the temperature and keep things cozy year-round. However, like any component of a household system, these cables need regular […]
Choosing the right wire is critical in many environments, especially industrial applications. The stakes are raised even more in industrial operations due to the often challenging environments that threaten wires and cables everywhere. Any failure can lead to increased risks for operators, quality problems, and lost production time, where every minute can cost thousands of […]
Technological advancements have been developing rapidly across many fields and industries. Amidst this tremendous growth sits wire and cable technology, which can match this growth and enable it to bring this evolutionary horsepower onto the digital highway, from electricity distribution to data transmission. Today, we’ll have a look at some of these innovative wire and […]
Safety is one of the most critical factors in building construction, and one area many people often don’t think about is cables. To most of us, a cable is a cable, but crucial differences can be critical when an emergency happens. Plenum cables play a significant role in this, especially in spaces that promote airflow […]
High-temperature wires are the lifeline in numerous critical applications across industries, from aerospace to automotive, manufacturing to telecommunications. These wires are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh conditions, ensuring the seamless transmission of power and signals. However, installing high-temperature wires is a complex process requiring diligent attention to detail. Even minor errors can have […]
When building a network infrastructure, the correct cable type is one of the most critical considerations. One of the biggest questions is plenum vs. non-plenum cables, which have specific benefits. Plenum and non-plenum refer to the jacket surrounding the cable, defined by CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) as aiming to prevent fire spread and toxic smoke […]
Fire alarm systems are integral parts of safety and security in any building. Early detection of smoke, fire or carbon monoxide prevents more widespread injuries or damage. Where many only see the detectors and alarms themselves, the fire alarm cable is one part of the system that most underestimate. Critical to the whole process, it […]
