Several tile houses, investment of tens of thousands of yuan, recruitment of two or three workers, recycling scrap copper, old fluorine plastics, can produce and process wires and cables. Recently, an industry insider in the wire and cable industry in the province broke the news to this newspaper: There are many "small workshops" in the industry, and problems such as adulteration, fraud, lack of weight, and counterfeiting of famous brands are endless.

"We hate these fake little workshops!" Recently, the person in charge of a cable manufacturer in Liaocheng (pseudonym)Recycling fluoroplasticsThe manufacturer broke the news and uncovered the shady manufacturing of inferior cables.

Practitioners have been engaged in wire and cable production for more than ten years. He said that since around 2007, the phenomenon of counterfeiting and counterfeiting of famous brands in the industry has become more and more rampant, which has troubled regular manufacturers like them.

Practitioners said that cable production is relatively concentrated in Wuxi, Hebei and Shandong in Jiangsu Province. The province is mainly in Qingdao Jiaozhou, Liaocheng Yanggu and Tai 'an. There are 50 or 60 large and small cable factories in Yanggu alone, but only about 56 in the upper scale.

"Small factories mostly label others, and some even copy famous brands." Practitioners said that there are more frauds in Hebei, Jiangsu and other places. In some places, every household is doing it. There are also some small workshops in the province that produce and sell fake and inferior wires and cables.

"The industry threshold is relatively low. These workshop-style factories are very small, with only a few tile houses and an investment of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Some obsolete equipment is purchased from large factories, and inferior copper wires are imported from the outside. Two or three people on a production line can produce." Practitioner description.

"Many construction units come to complain and report, and can receive more than 10 reporting calls a day at most," Li Yuezhen, head of Shandong Yanggu Cable Factory, also told the fluoroplastic recycling factory that it is common for the factory's cables to be counterfeited. "Some small manufacturers copy our certificate of approval, with the same trademark and color, and still register the phone number in 114. When customers inquire, they directly transfer it to their phones."

Poor quality inferior cable sheath life is only qualified 1/10

In recent years, accidents caused by inferior cables are not uncommon: Zhaoyuan Gold Mine cable fire caused 16 deaths; Henan Xinmi City Dongxing Coal Mine substandard cable fire, 25 miners were killed ...... and some inferior cables out of the process is frightening.

The production process of the cable is not complicated and requires two materials, one is conductor copper or aluminum, and the other is fluorine plastic wrapped outside. In order to save costs, some counterfeiters have used their brains on raw materials.

"Many manufacturers replace good copper with scrap copper. Good copper is about 60,000 yuan per ton, while scrap copper is only 54,000 yuan," practitioners said. Good copper is directly extracted from ore with low resistance value and meets national standards. Scrap copper contains red copper, impurities, etc., with large resistance, which seriously affects the performance and service life of cables.

Practitioners also said that in order to hide people's eyes and ears, some counterfeiters even use copper-clad copper, or copper-clad steel or copper-clad aluminum to make cables.

Poor quality cables and wires are difficult for ordinary people to identify. Such as household wires, some use brass as conductors, the resistance is very large. This inferior wire, that is, professionals do not use instruments can not tell.

"Besides fluoroplastics, counterfeiters also try their best to cut corners and buy medical waste such as discarded hanging needle bottles and hanging needle tubes at low prices, or imported waste fluoroplastics," practitioners said. Qualified products will have no problem with skin for 20 to 30 years, while inferior fluoroplastics will age and fall off in 2 to 3 years.

In addition, waste fluoroplastics also contain iron filings, copper filings and other impurities, if used as buried cables, easy to seep water and electricity, causing serious security risks.

Deception is mostly cost-saving cable is caused by "two thick, middle thin"

"There are still many tricks to fool customers. Cables are short of weight and short of weight. It has become a common thing in the industry." Practitioners say that some small manufacturers without brands produce cables that are "thick at both ends and thin in the middle" by pressing the molds ".

For example, a cable has 95, 70, 50 mm² three specifications, this kind of fat and thin uneven cable, the thickness can be different from a specification, the customer in the use of the process is also difficult to find.

The thickness is tricky, and the length is also tricky. When some manufacturers bundle cables, they use a meter counting device to control them and jump a few meters with one click, for example, from 66 meters to 70 meters. "In the industry, 100 meters of cables are only 2% short of qualified products, usually more than 10 meters short, and the difference between wires is even more outrageous, and 100 meters of wires are usually 70 to 80 meters".

During the construction, the cables were cut off and used. At the end of the settlement, it was found that the number of meters was insufficient and could not be traced. This also made the counterfeiters more reckless. "The phenomenon of insufficient meters of wires and cables has become a hidden rule of the industry. It is better in the provincial capital, but in the county seat, the phenomenon of short weight is even more serious." Practitioners say.

"At present, the persistent disease of counterfeiting industry has not been eliminated. In some places, the protection behavior makes counterfeiters have nothing to fear, and the industry needs to be further standardized." In the survey, many cable companies responsible for the recovery of fluorine plastic manufacturers said.
