Silicone Rubber Cable – High-Temperature Flexible Cable for Harsh Applications
Silicone rubber cable uses silicone as both insulation and jacketing material. It delivers outstanding heat resistance, cold endurance, corrosion resistance and flexibility. The cable maintains stable electrical performance and softness even under extreme temperatures, making it a dependable choice for demanding industrial connections.
This cable is designed for long-term operating temperatures up to +180°C and can be used in environments as low as -60°C. It is suitable for mobile or fixed installations connecting electrical instruments, control devices and signal transmission systems. Typical end-uses include mobile motors, steel mills, aviation, power generation plants, petrochemical facilities and other high-temperature or severe environments.

FAQ
What temperature range can silicone rubber cable handle?
Our silicone rubber cable is rated for continuous operation from -60°C up to +180°C. It maintains flexibility and insulation integrity at both extremes, which is why it is widely used in steel mills, aerospace and power plants.
Is silicone rubber cable suitable for outdoor and corrosive environments?
Yes. Silicone has natural resistance to UV, ozone, moisture and many chemicals. For prolonged outdoor exposure, we can advise on additional protection options, but the cable itself offers strong weather resistance.
What conductor options are available?
The standard conductor is stranded oxygen-free copper according to VDE 0295 Class 5 (fine wire). We can also supply tinned copper conductors or compact stranded configurations upon request. Cross-section sizes depend on your current rating needs.
Do you supply cables with different sheath and core colors?
Absolutely. We offer customizable color codes for both inner cores and the outer silicone sheath. This aids quick identification during installation and maintenance. Tell us your application, and we will match the colors accordingly.
Can you provide samples and technical data sheets?
Yes. We provide free samples for evaluation and detailed technical datasheets with electrical and mechanical test data. Just send us your requirements, and our engineering team will respond within 24 hours.
