From June 9 to 12, 2024, the largest professional lighting exhibition in Chinese Mainland was held in Guangzhou. In the past few days of the exhibition, some personal experiences were shared.
The first consideration for outdoor cable interconnection is the waterproofing of lighting equipment, whether the waterproof level of cable wiring connectors reaches IP68, and whether the material is resistant to corrosion and aging. To ensure safety and normal operation of the equipment, it is necessary to waterproof the equipment and cables.
Waterproof connectors are used as waterproof quick connectors for connecting wires and cables in new optoelectronic technology products such as LED and guardrail tubes. They are mainly used for outdoor waterproofing and moisture-proof.
There are several types of wiring terminals. One is the fast wiring type, which does not require locking screws. The cable can be inserted and pressed or clipped. The other is the conventional type, which is fixed by screws and cable connection screws. The other is the soldered type, which has gradually been phased out.
The use of waterproof connectors for the interconnection of outdoor and indoor power equipment ensures reliable power and signal connections while ensuring waterproofing. Because there are a lot of complex factors in the current usage environment of electronic devices, especially underwater, there are countless electronic devices that work underwater, all of which require waterproof connectors to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
The prices of waterproof junction boxes on the market range from a few yuan to a few tens of yuan, with some cheap ones costing only around 8 yuan, while the expensive ones can cost over 80 yuan. This is related to factors such as the material, design, and brand of the waterproof junction box. The price of waterproof junction boxes with better materials and more inlet and outlet wiring ports is higher.
