What does Xiangshan Fahua Cable Co., Ltd. do? What are its main wire and cable products?

Founded in 1998 and located at No. 55-27, Huichuan Road, Xizhou Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo, Zhejiang, with a facility covering 6,000 square meters, Xiangshan Fahua Cable Co., Ltd. specializes in the R&D and production of high-temperature silicone wire, silicone braided wire, AGRT extra-flexible silicone wire, PVC electronic wire, new energy vehicle wire EV/EVP, fire alarm and security cable, solar PV wire, and energy storage cables, with products certified by UL, VDE, CE, TUV, ISO9001, and CCC.

The company focuses on high-temperature special wires and cables, with core products covering six major series: silicone wire, PVC electronic wire, new energy vehicle wire, fire alarm and security cable, PV wire, and energy storage wire, widely used in medical devices, robotics, new energy, home appliances, and industrial automation.

Why is AGRT extra-flexible silicone wire "extra-flexible"? How does it differ from regular silicone wire?

AGRT extra-flexible silicone wire uses 0.08mm ultra-fine tinned copper strands, with single-strand diameters only a fraction of those in regular silicone wire. It offers a smaller bending radius and longer bending fatigue life, and combined with silicone rubber insulation achieves a -60℃ to +200℃ temperature rating with excellent shielding performance, suitable for robotic joints, precision medical equipment, new energy high-voltage assemblies, and other tight-space and frequent-motion applications.

"Extra-flexible" comes from the conductor structure: AGRT uses 0.08mm ultra-fine tinned copper strands finely stranded. The finer the conductor and the more strands, the softer the cable and the stronger its bending fatigue resistance.

What is the difference between EV and EVP new energy vehicle high-voltage wires? How to select?

Both EV and EVP are new energy vehicle high-voltage cable series, with the core difference lying in shielding structure and voltage rating positioning: EVP typically strengthens the shielding layer over EV to handle high-interference environments. Both offer high-voltage resistance, high/low-temperature resistance, EMI immunity, and high flexibility. Selection should be determined comprehensively by system voltage level, current capacity, shielding requirements, ambient temperature, and bending space.

EV and EVP are both new energy vehicle high-voltage cables, with EVP placing greater emphasis on shielding and EMI immunity. The core of selection is the four factors of "voltage rating + current capacity + shielding requirements + space/bending".

Why does PV power generation require dedicated PV cables? Can regular cables be substituted?

PV cables are long exposed to outdoor UV radiation, day-night temperature differences, and humid heat environments. Dedicated PV cables offer UV resistance, high/low-temperature resistance, aging resistance, and corrosion resistance; regular cables in such environments are prone to sheath chalking and cracking, leading to short circuits and leakage. PV power stations, rooftop distributed systems, and desert power stations should all use dedicated PV cables, and substitution with regular cables is not recommended.

PV cables are specialized wires designed for 25-year outdoor service life; substituting regular cables significantly increases the risk of insulation failure and fire.

What do fire alarm and security cable designations FPL, FPLR, and PH30 / PH60 / PH120 mean?

FPL and FPLR are fire alarm cable ratings under the UL standard (FPLR is the riser/between-floors installation rating); PH30/PH60/PH120 indicate the time the circuit maintains integrity under flame conditions: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes respectively. Selection is determined by building fire protection design requirements and installation position (horizontal/riser).

FPL / FPLR determine installation position compliance, while PH30 / PH60 / PH120 determine the duration of power and signal maintenance during a fire.

What cable products does your company specialize in?

We specialize in extra-flexible silicone wire, new energy vehicle cables, PV and energy storage cables, silicone braided wire, PVC electronic wire, security and fire alarm cables, and more, providing corresponding wire materials for multiple industries.

What is the temperature range of silicone wire? How high a temperature can it withstand?

Silicone wire uses silicone rubber as insulation, with a conventional temperature rating from -60℃ to +200℃, and can withstand short-term higher temperature shocks. Fahua Cable's UL3135, UL3122, and VDE H05S-K series silicone wires are designed and certified to the 200℃ rating, remaining flexible down to -60℃, suitable for high-temperature industrial equipment, hot zones of household appliances, and wiring inside new energy vehicle cabins.

The typical temperature range of silicone wire is -60℃ to +200℃, making it one of the highest-temperature-rated conventional categories among mass-produced wires, without hardening at low temperatures or melting at high temperatures.

What certifications does Fahua Cable hold? How can UL, VDE, CCC, and TUV certificates be verified?

Xiangshan Fahua Cable products are certified by German VDE, American UL, EU CE, German TUV, ISO9001, and China CCC, and undergo annual factory audits by certification bodies. UL certificates can be verified by file number in the official UL certification directory, VDE certificates in the VDE certificate database, and CCC certificates on the CNCA CCC verification platform.

Fahua Cable holds six certifications: VDE, UL, CE, TUV, ISO9001, and CCC, and passes annual factory inspections and surveillance audits by certification bodies, so certificate status can be continuously verified. For certificate copies, please call 0574-65837193.

How to choose between silicone wire and PVC electronic wire? What is the cost and performance difference?

The core of selection is temperature rating: choose silicone wire when the operating temperature exceeds 105℃ or the ambient temperature is below -20℃; for household appliances, electronic equipment, and industrial internal wiring at normal temperatures (80~105℃) without frequent bending, PVC electronic wire offers better cost performance. Silicone wire typically costs more per unit than PVC wire, but offers significantly better lifespan and safety margin under high-temperature conditions.

Look at temperature first, then bending, and finally cost: choose silicone wire for >105℃, and PVC electronic wire for ≤105℃ with static installation.

How to select wires for energy storage systems? What scenarios do UL11627 and UL10269 apply to?

Wires for energy storage systems must simultaneously meet three requirements: low resistance with high conductivity, high-temperature and corrosion resistance, and safe insulation. UL11627 and UL10269 are the main models of Fahua Cable's energy storage electronic wires, suitable for power transmission at different voltage levels and wiring positions within energy storage cabinets, with specific rated values per the product specifications and certification documents.

Energy storage cable selection focuses on three points: current capacity and losses, temperature and corrosion resistance, and insulation and safety certification. UL11627 and UL10269 cover the mainstream requirements of main and auxiliary circuits within energy storage systems.

Does Fahua Cable support customization? What are the MOQ, sampling cycle, and lead times?

Xiangshan Fahua Cable supports custom development by conductor structure, insulation material, sheath color, shielding form, temperature rating, printing, and packaging, and has an engineering technology center and laboratory providing sampling, testing, and structural verification. Specific MOQ, sampling cycles, and batch lead times depend on specification complexity. Please contact 0574-65837193 or 13355985769 directly for quotations.

Customization is supported, following the process of "requirement confirmation → structural design and review → sampling → testing and verification → mass production". Standard specifications sample quickly, while complex structures require review.
