Cabling Fun Facts

It's that time of year again. With temperatures continuing to drop, carolers out in force, black ice hiding everywhere and Santa Clauses around every corner, the holiday season is in full force. It's December, and with the holidays right around the corner, the Sycor team will be doing another one of our cabling fun facts. In this month's fun facts, we'll be exploring the requirements for wire and cable in space, the major weaknesses of armoured cables and when aluminum is a cost-effective alternative to the highly conductive copper conductor.

One of the largest concerns that countries around the world are facing today is the climate crisis. In the wake of this issue, many of the world's leaders have promised to fight climate change as much as possible. With the signing of the Paris climate agreement in 2016, countries like Canada, Denmark, England, France, Sweeden, Germany, Switzerland and many more have promised to work towards fully sustainable energy within the next 50 years. In this blog, Sycor will discuss the different types of sustainable energy currently available, what is required to make these applications a reality, and the limitations to the overall capabilities.

In this blog, we will break down two different building wires and how each of these differentiates from one another. The building wires that we'll be looking into are the popular CSA T90 & CSA RW90. Both of these constructions are designated building wires which are able to be applied to various applications within the commercial, manufacturing and other industrial markets.

The Race to Space & The Future of the Aerospace Industry

Mil-Spec is a popular hook-up wiring designation, and a popular application for these products is within aircraft and now more than ever space equipment. With the race to space underway between some of the world's tech giants, we'll begin to see new space discoveries and more advanced technologies emerge over the next decade. With space quickly becoming more accessible for entertainment and commercial purposes, the future of space and its potential applications is quickly evolving.
