Overview

In environments where biological hazards pose a significant threat to infrastructure, standard cabling solutions often fall short. Zhejiang Hongce Cable Co., Ltd. proudly introduces our specialized line of Termite-Proof and Rodent-Proof Cables, engineered specifically to withstand the severe challenges of pest-infested areas. Comprising the FY (Termite-Proof), FSH (Rodent-Proof), and FSY (Termite & Rodent-Proof) series, these premium cables are designed to ensure uninterrupted power distribution and seamless signal transmission, preventing costly downtime and infrastructure maintenance. Advanced Dual-Defense Technology At the core of our product’s reliability is a state-of-the-art dual-defense system. Recognizing that mechanical barriers alone are sometimes insufficient, our engineering team has integrated both physical armor and chemical deterrence. Physical Protection: Fortified with Steel Tape Armor (STA) or Steel Wire Armor (SWA), combined with highly durable, high-density polymer outer sheaths such as HDPE or Nylon (PA). These exceptionally hard outer jackets make it practically impossible for rodents to gnaw through. Chemical Deterrence: The outer sheathing incorporates eco-friendly, non-toxic repellents (such as Bitrex) that alter the taste and odor profile of the cable. This successfully deters termites and ants without polluting the surrounding soil or harming the local ecosystem, ensuring true environmental sustainability. Comprehensive Technical Specifications Our expansive product range is built to meet versatile industrial and commercial needs. We offer power cables with rated voltages spanning from 300/300V up to 26/35kV, alongside highly reliable control and instrumentation cables. The conductor options include high-quality pure copper, tinned copper, aluminum, and copper-clad aluminum (CCA), available in Class 1, 2, or 5 flexibility. To guarantee optimal electrical safety and performance across various demanding climates, we provide multiple insulation choices including XLPE, PVC, LSZH, and EPR. The cables support maximum operating temperatures ranging from 70°C to 105°C, and feature a standard bending radius of 12-15D, allowing for flexible installation in complex spatial layouts. Wide Application Scenarios The applications for the FY, FSH, and FSY series are vast. They are the definitive choice for: Underground Utility Systems: Direct burial projects and municipal pipeline networks in termite-prone geographic regions. Agricultural & Forestry Zones: Providing critical infrastructure protection in open rural environments susceptible to wildlife. Mission-Critical Facilities: Indoor environments like data centers, server rooms, and warehouses where unexpected rodent infestation could lead to catastrophic electrical or network failures.
