Single-core silicone cable, heat-resistant SiF 1x16mm² brown 24704

High-temperature silicone wire – reliability in harsh conditions

This brown, single-core silicone wire is a solution for installations requiring flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures. The wire is designed to operate in a wide temperature range, from -60°C to +180°C continuously, and briefly up to +200°C. It is used where standard wires fail – in the metallurgical, steel, aviation, shipbuilding, cement and ceramic industries, as well as in power plants. Its halogen-free construction increases safety.

Construction and properties

The wire is characterized by flexibility thanks to the multi-strand tinned copper core of class 5. Silicone rubber insulation provides not only resistance to high temperatures but also to oils, greases, acids and other chemicals. The minimum bending radius is 6x the wire diameter for fixed laying and 15x the wire diameter for mobile installations, making it easy to install even in tight spaces. The wire meets the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and has a CE certificate.

Applications and benefits

SiF wire is ideal for applications requiring high flexibility and thermal resistance. It will work well in:

• Heavy industry: steel, glass and ceramics plants, cement plants – where there are high temperatures and exposure to chemicals.
• Aviation and shipyards: applications requiring reliability in extreme conditions.
• Power plants: safe operation thanks to the halogen-free construction.
• Heating devices: high operating temperature allows the wire to be used in heat generating devices.
• Lighting installations: long life and temperature resistance ensure reliable operation of industrial lighting.

Thanks to its construction, this wire guarantees long-lasting and safe operation in demanding environments. The rated voltage U/U0 is 500/300V and the maximum conductor resistance at 20°C for a cross-section of 16mm² is 3.39 Ω/km. The outer diameter of the wire is approximately 7.7 mm.
