How to Choose the Right Cable for Your Project

When it comes to cable selection, many professionals still rely on guesswork—or worse, outdated specs. But choosing the right cable can make or break your project in terms of performance, safety, and longevity.

1. Understand your environment

Temperature, humidity, exposure to chemicals or UV light… These factors will drastically impact your cable’s durability. For harsh environments, opt for reinforced or armored insulation.

2. Define the application

Are you transmitting power, data, or control signals?
Each function requires specific characteristics—shielding, conductivity, flexibility, and more.

3. Rely on certified standards

Make sure your cables comply with international standards such as IEC, RoHS, or ISO. At Cable IQ, we only work with certified products to ensure long-term reliability.
