How to Distinguish Brake Cable Housing from Derailleur Cable Housing

Brake cable housing is a composite structure consisting of transparent PTFE inner liner, spiral steel wire reinforcement layer and PVC outer coating. It has no strict requirements for machining precision, with the core focus on high load-bearing strength. The housing can stably withstand various tensile and compressive loads during braking operations, features strong structural adaptability and a wide application range. It is widely used in brake cable systems of various vehicle models to meet the basic performance requirements of brake transmission for different vehicles.

Shift cable housing is a composite structure made of transparent POM inner liner, longitudinal steel wire reinforcement and PA6 or PP outer coating. It has strict requirements for machining precision, with the core need to ensure transmission accuracy and smoothness, and no excessive requirements for load strength. The housing boasts strong structural adaptability and a wide application range, and is widely applied in transmission cable systems of various vehicle models to satisfy the precise use requirements of transmission for different vehicles.
