High temperature resistant silicone cable HELUTHERM SiHF 16G1,5 mm² brick red, conductor identification acc. to DIN VDE 0293-308 23023

High-temperature silicone cable – reliability in extreme conditions

This multi-core HELUTHERM SiHF cable, with insulation made of special silicone, is designed to operate in demanding industrial environments and beyond. It is characterized by exceptional resistance to high and low temperatures, making it an ideal solution where standard cables fail. This cable complies with DIN VDE 0250 part 1 and DIN VDE 0285-525-2-83 / DIN EN 50525-2-83 standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

Construction and properties

The cable is constructed with flexible, multi-strand copper conductors, tinned for better corrosion protection. Each conductor is insulated with high-quality silicone rubber, providing resistance to extreme temperatures – from -60°C to +180°C (short-term up to +220°C). The conductors are twisted in layers around a core, and the whole is surrounded by a special outer jacket made of silicone rubber in brick red color. The conductor color scheme complies with DIN VDE 0293-308 – up to 5 conductors the colors are standard, and above 5 conductors – black with white numbering for easy identification. Cables with 3 conductors or more also include a green-yellow protective conductor.

The HELUTHERM SiHF cable is halogen-free, which means that it releases a minimal amount of toxic gases in the event of a fire. Additionally, it has good chemical resistance to oils, vegetable and animal fats, alcohols, and many other substances.

Applications and benefits

This cable is widely used in the metallurgical industry, steelworks, glass and ceramics factories, cement plants, and in aviation. It will also be useful in lighting installations and anywhere high thermal resistance and flexibility are required.

• Extreme temperatures: Trouble-free operation in the range of -60°C to +180°C (short-term up to +220°C) ensures reliability even in the most demanding conditions.
• Safety: Halogen-free construction minimizes the risk of toxic gas formation during a fire.
• Flexibility: Multi-strand conductor construction provides easy installation and adaptation to various installation configurations.
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to many chemicals, which increases its durability and reliability in harsh industrial environments.
• Conductor identification: Color scheme compliant with DIN VDE 0293-308 simplifies the identification of individual conductors during installation and maintenance.
• Rated voltage: The cable is designed to operate at 300/500V.

The HELUTHERM SiHF 16G1,5 mm² cable is a solid choice for professionals looking for a reliable solution for applications requiring high thermal and mechanical resistance. Its versatility makes it suitable for both industrial and specialized equipment.
