SO CABLE

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH CABLE

As sturdy as today’s SO cable is, it is still necessary to be aware of certain instances which may interfere with its effectiveness. Read below to discover some special considerations that should be taken with most cables – and contact Delco Wire & Cable for more information.

  • Look for sources of heat. Obviously, you are going to have to consider the surrounding environment when selecting a cable. Do not forget to factor in that nearby water boiler or steam pipe. 
  • Be aware of magnetism.  This exists with some pipes and it can change a cable’s properties or render it less effective.
  • Keep the cable away from substances that are potentially corrosive.  Yes, the jacket on a SOOW cable is water and oil-resistant, but if chemicals are present, you may have a problem.  Avoid the possibility.
  • Interference is a concern for telephone cables, but you likely won’t see this problem affecting the SO cable family.
  • Price is always a large consideration.  Make sure that when you are selecting your SO cable, you do so based on a myriad of factors that also include cost.  Select a reputable source for your cable needs like Delco Wire & Cable, and rest assured that you will receive a competitive price for a superior product.

Experience the customer service that comes from dealing with a true cable superstore that treats clients the way they deserve to be treated: with respect.
