Silicone cable OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiHF 7G1,5 0046018

High-temperature silicone cable – reliability in extreme conditions

The OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiHF cable is a specialized silicone cable designed to operate in an extended temperature range, from -50°C to +180°C. Its construction and materials ensure reliable operation even in the most demanding industrial environments. It is ideal for applications where standard cables fail – in the metallurgical, glass, bakery industries and many other applications generating high temperatures.

Construction and application – flexibility and safety

This cable is characterized by stranded, tinned copper, which provides excellent flexibility and corrosion resistance. Silicone insulation guarantees maintaining dielectric properties over a wide temperature range. The strands are twisted in layers, and the entire cable is covered with a durable, red-brown silicone coating. This makes the cable resistant to abrasion, chemicals and mechanical damage. The cable is available with a protective conductor.

It finds application in:

• Metallurgical and foundry industry
• Glass industry
• Bakery and gastronomy
• Industrial furnaces
• Applications requiring high thermal resistance
• Industrial automation in high-temperature environments

Key features and benefits

• Wide temperature range: Operation from -50°C to +180°C allows the cable to be used in extreme conditions.
• High flexibility: Construction with stranded copper facilitates installation even in tight spaces.
• Resistance to external factors: Silicone coating protects against moisture, oils, chemicals and mechanical damage.
• Safety: After combustion, it leaves insulating SiO2 ash on the conductors, which increases safety.
• Durability: Tinned strands provide corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.
• Minimum bending radius: 4x outer diameter ensures easy cable routing without the risk of damaging the conductors. For moving installations without guidance, the bending radius is 156 mm and for fixed installations 41.6 mm.
• Color coding: Conductors with a cross-section up to 5c are color-coded according to VDE 0293-308 (Chart 6, page 696), and above 6c – black with white numbers plus a green-yellow protective conductor.

Thanks to these properties, the OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiHF cable is an ideal solution for professionals looking for a reliable cable for high-temperature applications. Its flexibility makes it easier for installers to work, and the high quality of workmanship guarantees long-lasting and safe use for the end user.
