ECE-R certified cables and wires for automotive applications

UN/ECE-R 118.02 is an international standard that establishes fire safety guidelines for materials and components in motor vehicles such as buses and coaches. This is intended to ensure passenger safety. For electrical cables, the certification requires flame tests, in which the cables are examined for flammability and self-extinguishing properties. TKD Kabel has an extensive portfolio of cables and wires for the automotive sector that meet these strict requirements.

The spectrum covers all areas of vehicle electronics, from lighting and air conditioning systems to on-board electronics and control and communication applications. ECE-R-certified products include electronic cables from the Eltronic-CY series distributed by TKD Kabel, which are used to transmit analog and digital signals in measurement, control, and regulation technology. ÖPVC-JZ/OZ control cables are suitable as power, control, connection, and interconnection cables in flexible applications. With its Industrial Ethernet cables for Cat.5e to Cat.7A, TKD Kabel supports secure signal transmission in harsh environments. Wiring cables for lighting round out the ECE-R portfolio. Furthermore, as Huber + Suhner's technical sales partner in German-speaking countries, TKD Kabel offers the "Radox" brand of automotive cables. These are also certified according to UN/ECE-R 118.02.

With this certification, TKD Kabel underscores its commitment to being a partner for safe electrification in the automotive sector. All cables and wires have been specially developed to ensure reliable functionality and safety even under extreme conditions. Automotive has been part of TKD Kabel's broad industry portfolio for around a year. The company supports its customers in equipping vehicles with solutions for power distribution between the charging port, batteries, and drive system. Users benefit from its technological expertise and application knowledge, as well as extensive TKD services. TKD Kabel also handles assembly work such as cable cutting, stripping, and the attachment of termination parts. The company operates a local warehouse and can therefore implement customized delivery models such as just-in-time delivery.
