Discover how ferrules work with coated cables to create strong and safe cable assemblies. Learn the do's and don'ts of swaging ferrules and why it's crucial to prepare coated cables properly.
The material applied to coated mechanical cable is a molten, extruded chemical that coats bare cable entirely, protecting the solid wire from making direct contact with the environment with which it is deployed. This extruded material is designed to provide a barrier of protection against mating components, or maybe worse, harsh conditions that could shorten the lifespan and integrity of the mechanical cable.
