Polyester and aramid ripcords
Polyester and Aramid Ripcords are key materials in cable manufacturing. Polyester is used as a f iller and separator, providing stability and internal protection.
Aramid ripcords, such as Kevlar, allow the cable sheath to be easily opened and provide high tensile strength, protecting the components during installation.
