Silicone cable OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiHF 3G1 0046008

OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiHF cable is a specialized silicone cable designed for operation in extreme temperatures. It is engineered for applications requiring flexibility and reliability in harsh industrial conditions. This cable is used in machinery and equipment where standard cabling fails due to high ambient temperatures.

Durability and temperature range

The OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiHF cable stands out with its exceptional resistance to high temperatures – up to +180°C. This makes it ideal for industries such as metallurgy, baking, ceramics, and lighting production. The use of silicone insulation and jacket ensures flexibility even in extreme conditions, facilitating installation and minimizing the risk of mechanical damage. Additionally, the cable maintains its properties in a temperature range from -60°C to +180°C, making it a versatile solution for various applications.

Construction and application

The cable is constructed with multi-wire, tinned copper conductors, providing excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The core insulation is made of silicone, and the outer jacket is also made of silicone rubber (SIR), guaranteeing high flexibility and resistance to external factors. The cable has a protective conductor (G), increasing safety. The core color scheme complies with VDE 0293-308, making identification easier during installation. This cable is particularly recommended for applications where standard cables degrade due to high temperature or contact with oils and chemicals.

Key features and benefits

• Extreme temperature resistance: Continuous operation in the range of -60°C to +180°C allows use in the most demanding environments.
• High flexibility: Facilitates installation even in tight spaces and minimizes the risk of mechanical damage during bending.
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to many oils, alcohols, vegetable and animal fats, and chemicals.
• Safety: Has a protective conductor for increased safety.
• Insulating properties after burning: SiO2 ash residue on the cores provides insulation even after exposure to fire – important for safety in the event of a failure.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of EN 50525-2-83 and IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2 (no release of corrosive gases).
• Minimum bending radius: 28 mm for fixed installation and 105 mm for flexible installation – ensures long-term connection reliability.
