Cable wire is a rather unremarkable raw material in home renovations, yet it is closely related to our daily lives, addressing the issue of safe electricity use in everyday life. Therefore, it is crucial to be particularly vigilant when purchasing cable wire to avoid buying counterfeit products. Below, Qingdao Haodong Cable Co., Ltd. provides a detailed explanation of how cable wire is priced and what key points should be focused on during the purchase.
How much does one meter of cable cost?
Currently, wire prices in the market are highly unstable. The price of copper is a key factor in determining wire prices; the higher the price of copper, the more expensive the cables will be. Moreover, prices may vary among different well-known brands. Generally, a 4-square-meter cable is priced around 230 yuan per roll (100 meters), a 2.5-square-meter cable is about 140 yuan per roll (100 meters), and a 1.5-square-meter cable is around 85 yuan per roll (100 meters). These prices are for reference only; actual prices should be based on local rates.
Selecting cable wires is a crucial step.
1. Short and long
Be mindful of the measurements; some may notice that the cable they purchased is marked in meters, indicating 100 meters, but be aware that although there are meter markings, the middle section may have a 10-meter discrepancy. For instance, after 30 meters, the markings may gradually increase to 40 meters.
2. Copper Material Quality
The true red copper wire has a reddish hue, while brass turns yellow. Additionally, purple copper is softer, and brass is harder, with not much fake brass currently in circulation.
3. PVC Materials
Be cautious when selecting cables; many people make the copper core wires very standard, yet the PVC materials are often counterfeit and substandard.
4. CCC Product Certification Certificate
Ensure cables are labeled with the CCC product certification as much as possible, as cable products are mandatory identity-certified goods in China. All mechanical manufacturing industries should strive to obtain the CCC product certification from the China Welding Worker Quality Certification Research Association. Moreover, since cable quality is related to safe electrical use, poor cable quality can harm asset and financial security, so it's crucial to choose cable products with the CCC product certification.
Product Certification
Inspect whether the cable line has product certification, specifications, testing, manufacturing date, company name, production location, and contact information. Only then can it be considered a reliable product from a reputable manufacturer. Consumers should be aware of this when making purchases.
