Silicone cable, resistant to high temperatures acc. to UL/CSA SiHF UL/CSA 6G1mm² black, wire identification acc. to DIN VDE 0293-308 23230

Silicone cable for extreme conditions

This 6-core silicone cable, with a cross-section of 1 mm², is designed to operate in demanding temperature conditions. It is characterized by high heat resistance, flexibility and the absence of halogens in its composition, making it an ideal choice for a variety of industrial and specialized applications. The cable meets UL/CSA standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

Construction and properties

The cable is made of multi-strand copper conductors (class 5), insulated with silicone. The cores are twisted longitudinally, and the protective conductor (yellow-green) is present from 3 cores and above. The whole is surrounded by a black silicone coating, providing additional mechanical and chemical protection. Core marking is carried out in accordance with DIN VDE 0293-308 – black or colored cores with white numbering (in the case of a two-core version, brown and blue). The outer diameter of the cable is approximately 11.4 mm.

This cable is distinguished by its exceptional resistance to:

• Polymeric oils and fats
• Alcohols, plasticizers and chlorophenols
• Diluted acids and alkalis
• Substances resulting from salt decomposition
• Oxidizing substances
• Atmospheric and tropical conditions
• Water, oxygen and UV radiation

Additionally, the cable is halogen-free (compliant with DIN VDE 0482 part 267 / DIN EN 50267-2-1 / IEC 60754-1) and does not spread flames (compliant with DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2 / DIN EN 60332-1-2 / IEC 60332-1 / CSA FT1).

Applications and benefits

The cable finds application in a wide range of industries, including:

• Power plants
• Steel industry
• Aviation industry
• Shipbuilding industry
• Ceramics, glass and cement plants

Thanks to its high flexibility, it is ideal as a flexible connection cable. Its resistance to high temperatures (up to +180°C continuously, briefly up to +220°C) and low temperatures (down to -60°C) allows it to operate in extreme conditions. In the event of a fire, it leaves only a SiO2 coating, which increases safety. It should be remembered to lay it permanently only in open or ventilated cable ducts – the mechanical properties of silicone may decrease at temperatures exceeding 90°C. The cable meets the requirements of UL and CSA standards, which confirms its high quality and safety.
