The impact of raw materials and production processes on the price of J1939 cables

The impact of raw material costs on the price of J1939 cables

Conductor material: J1939 cable conductors are often made of materials such as copper, aluminum, or aluminum alloys. Copper has excellent conductivity and thermal conductivity, low resistance, and good transmission performance, but the cost is relatively high. Aluminum and aluminum alloys have relatively low costs, low density, but slightly poorer conductivity. When the prices of metals such as copper and aluminum fluctuate, the price of J1939 cables will also change accordingly.

Insulation and sheath materials: The insulation layer and sheath are generally made of polymer materials such as rubber and plastic. Different insulation and sheath materials have different properties and costs.

The impact of production process on the price of J1939 cable

Manufacturing technology and equipment: High quality production processes and equipment can improve production efficiency and ensure product quality, but the initial equipment investment cost is high, which will to some extent increase product prices.

Production scale and efficiency: Large scale production helps to reduce unit costs. If production enterprises can achieve large-scale production, by improving production efficiency and optimizing production processes, they can save costs in raw material procurement, production management, and other aspects, thereby making product prices more competitive. On the contrary, cables produced in small batches often have higher prices due to the high fixed costs shared.
