Precautions for storage and transportation of wires and cables

1. When storing cables, it is strictly forbidden to come into contact with acids, alkalis and mineral oils, and store them in isolation from these corrosive substances.

2. There shall be no harmful gases that damage insulation and corrode metals in the warehouse where cables are stored.

3. Avoid storing cables in the open air as much as possible, and the cable reels are not allowed to lay flat.

4. During the storage period, the cable should be rolled regularly (once every 3 months in summer, and can be postponed as appropriate in other seasons). When rolling, turn the storage tray downwards and turn upwards to prevent the bottom surface from being damp and rotted. When storing, always pay attention to whether the cable gland is intact.

5. The storage period of the cable is limited to the product delivery period. Generally, it should not exceed one and a half years, and the longest should not exceed two years.

6. It is strictly forbidden to drop cables or cable reels from high places during transportation, especially at low temperatures (usually around 5°C and below). Throwing or dropping the cables may cause the insulation and sheath to crack.

7. When hoisting packages, it is strictly forbidden to hoist several trays at the same time. On vehicles, ships and other transportation tools, the cable reels should be fixed by suitable methods to prevent collision or tipping over each other to prevent mechanical damage to the cables.
