According to different uses and purposes, disposable cable seals are mainly divided into four categories:
Plastic seal, cable seal, bolt seal (box seal) and meter seal. If the cost factor is considered, the plastic seal produced by pure plastic is choose. The plastic seal is usually used in the damage prevention measures with short transportation distance and sealing period. If the safety is better without considering the cost, cable seal or bolt seal (box seal) will be choose. The cable seal is usually made of zinc alloy or synthetic metal and then fixedly connected with the cable. With the flexibility of steel wire rope, cable seals are usually used in damage prevention measures with complex sealing positions.
The bolt seal (box seal) is usually made of A3 steel as the lock head and lock rod, which is thick and durable. It is usually used in the loss prevention measures with long transportation distance and sealing period, such as the loss prevention sealing of marine containers or truck containers. There are also smaller meter seals that are applicable to the loss prevention measures that need to be sealed for electricity meters, water meters, gas meters, etc.
In the logistics transportation and various security protection industries, disposable cable seals play a key role in risk control, loss reduction and risk prevention. Therefore, customers should pay special attention to the following factors when purchasing disposable blocking products:
1、 First of all, manufacturers with guaranteed quality reputation should be choose for one-time production blockade (products without guaranteed quality reputation can not be locked tightly to prevent theft). Manufacturers must standardize their management in quality control processes, raw material procurement, product testing and other links, and have advanced production technology and R&D capabilities.
2、 Before ordering, it is important to sign a contract and require the manufacturer to promise that it will not provide the lead seal with the same identification and number to a third party. Sometimes, it is even necessary to sign a confidentiality agreement.
3、 Try not to use products of the same size/color produced by multiple manufacturers (which are easy to be copied and imitated, bringing imitations to some illegal attempts, thus losing the real sense of security). Products that have been circulated and applied for too long in the market are not recommended. At the same time, manufacturers with technical advantages and R&D capabilities will generally regularly develop more choose products to meet market demand.
Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of disposable cable seals.
The most common disposable cable seals are the cheapest, but they can be bought in the market, and the anti-counterfeiting technology is poor. The anti-counterfeit lead seal with aluminum cover is better than the lead seal, and the price is slightly higher. The anti-counterfeit technology should be said to be good. Customers can get some anti-counterfeit things, such as a secret mark on the lead egg, an anti-counterfeit logo on the back of the aluminum cover, and an anti-counterfeit logo on the front of the aluminum cover. The better one is the lead seal with RF. The guy is impeccable, but the price is too high. There are also one-off products such as blocking.
