Specific impact on network cables:
Sheath and insulation materials: Traditional materials such as PVC may contain lead and cadmium (such as stabilizers) and need to be replaced with environmentally friendly alternatives (such as LSZH low-smoke halogen-free materials).
Shielding layer: Some metal coatings (such as tin-lead alloys) need to be replaced with lead-free processes.
Connectors: Solder and plating must comply with RoHS requirements.
3. Enhance brand image and market competitiveness
✅ Comply with international environmental trends:
Global environmental regulations are becoming stricter (such as China RoHS, US Prop 65), and RoHS certification helps products enter multiple countries.
Meet the green supply chain requirements of large companies (such as Apple and Huawei).
✅ Hard threshold for B2B procurement:
EU engineering companies and system integrators usually require suppliers to provide RoHS compliance declarations (DoC) and test reports.
Network cables without RoHS certification may be excluded from the bidding list.
✅ Consumer preferences:
Enhanced environmental awareness, RoHS certification can become a product promotion highlight (such as "lead-free and non-toxic")
