What Is A Waterproof Cord

The waterproof cable is also known as the waterproof plug and waterproof connector, which is a plug with waterproof performance and can provide safe and reliable connection of electricity and signal.

For example: LED street lights, LED drive power supplies, LED displays, light towers, cruise ships, industrial equipment, communication equipment, detection equipment, etc., all need to use waterproof wires. It is also widely used in stage lights, aquariums, bathrooms, switching power supplies, mechanical and electrical equipment, etc.

There are many brands and types of waterproof plugs on the market, including traditional waterproof plugs for home life, such as triangle plugs, which can be called plugs, but they are generally not waterproof. So how is the waterproof plug determined, the measurement of waterproof is IP, and the highest level of waterproof is IPX8.

The main evaluation criteria for the waterproof performance of waterproof connectors are based on the IP waterproof rating standard. To see how the waterproof performance of the waterproof connector is, mainly look at the last two digits of IPXX, the first X is from 0 to 6, the highest grade is 6, which is dustproof identification, and the second digit is from 0 to 8, the highest grade is 8, so the highest waterproof grade of the waterproof connector is IPX8. Sealing principle: Rely on up to 5 sealing rings and sealing rings to pre-seal under pressure. This kind of sealing will not lose the preload when the connector is thermally expanded and contracted, and the waterproof effect is guaranteed for a long time, and the water molecules cannot penetrate under ordinary pressure (it can work for a long time in less than 2M water depth)
