What do RoHS and REACH mean for cables?
They are material restrictions, not performance tests — they affect compound choice, solder and plating, and they need documents per shipment.
Answer: both restrict substances in the materials — they say nothing about whether the cable works, but everything about whether it can be sold in the target market.
Where it bites — jacket compound, solder alloy, plating chemistry, and pigments.
What to ask for — a declaration for the specific model, not a company-level statement.
Where it goes wrong — a compliant design with a non-compliant pigment or solder introduced later.
Keep compliance documents per shipment; a market authority asks about the goods, not about your certificate folder.
