RADOX® cable technology


RADOX® stands for "radiation X-linked" and describes the process of crosslinking thermoplastic polymers by means of electron beams. HUBER+SUHNER has been using this technology, which was developed in-house, successfully since the 1970s to achieve notable improvements in the thermal, mechanical and chemical properties of the cable insulation material. RADOX® cables do not melt, possess better abrasion resistance and greater cut resistance than conventional cables and, even with thinner insulation, are much more resistant to various environmental factors.

Overview of advantages


Development

HUBER+SUHNER develops the RADOX® materials itself. The cables are designed and manufactured in accordance with international standards, as well as customer-specific requirements. Decades of experience, continuous quality checks and extensive laboratory tests guarantee the highest quality standards.

Electro-beam crosslinking

The RADOX® cables are completed by electron-beam crosslinking. The cable is passed through the crosslinking system in a controlled manner. Radiation with high-energy electrons changes the chemical structure of the polymer across the entire circumference of the cable. The molecules of the polymer are then cross-linked, which brings the process to a close.
