Electrical cable overbraiding is a technique used to reinforce and protect electrical cables. This method consists of applying an additional layer of braiding around the existing cable.
Any support is literally sheathed in textile to give it greater resistance to temperature, abrasion, compression, stretching...
This overbraiding of electrical cable also insulates the cable. Depending on the material used, it can reduce electromagnetic interference, provide soundproofing or thermal protection.
In some cases, overbraiding is simply a way of improving the cable's outward appearance. In these cases, the aim is to enhance the product's aesthetics, using noble materials such as cotton, linen and polyamide, which offer a wide range of colors.
The most common applications are as follows:
Mechanical protection: Overbraiding protects the cable from abrasion, knocks or cuts in demanding environments.
Reinforcement: Increases tensile strength, useful for cables subjected to frequent movement or high stress.
Thermal and electrical insulation: Depending on the material used (metal or textile insulation), it can offer greater resistance to high temperatures or reduce electromagnetic interference.
Aesthetics: In some cases, it can also be used for a specific visual finish or to differentiate cables.
