Correct usage and daily maintenance of J1939 to J1708 cable

reasonable use

Avoid overload: Do not apply tension or pressure on the cable that exceeds its rated load. Although cables can withstand certain external forces during normal use, excessive pulling or squeezing may cause damage to their internal structure, affecting their performance and lifespan.

Control the temperature of the usage environment: Try to avoid exposing cables to high or low temperature environments, such as prolonged exposure to high temperatures or direct contact with cold metal surfaces in low temperatures. If it cannot be avoided, insulation or thermal insulation measures can be taken, such as wrapping the cable with insulation sleeves or insulation cotton.

Preventing chemical corrosion: Avoid cables from coming into contact with chemicals such as oil, acid, alkali, etc., which may corrode the outer skin of the cable, reduce its insulation performance and mechanical strength. If the surface of the cable accidentally gets stained with chemicals, it should be wiped clean with a clean cloth in a timely manner, cleaned with an appropriate cleaning agent, and then wiped dry.

Regular maintenance

Appearance inspection: Regularly inspect the appearance of the cable to see if there are any damages, cracks, peeling, discoloration, and other issues, as well as if there are any looseness, oxidation, or other problems at the interface. If any damage is found on the outer sheath of the cable, it should be promptly wrapped with insulating tape; If there is looseness at the interface, it should be tightened in a timely manner.

Performance testing: Every once in a while, use professional testing equipment to test the performance of the cable, such as measuring parameters such as resistance, capacitance, signal transmission delay, etc., to ensure that its performance meets the requirements. If abnormal performance indicators are found, the cause should be promptly investigated and repaired or replaced.

Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly wipe the dust and dirt on the surface of the cable with a clean cloth to keep the cable clean. For oil stains or other stains that may occur after long-term use, a mild cleaning agent can be used to wipe them off, but care should be taken not to let the cleaning agent penetrate into the interior of the cable.
