SiHF Silicone Insulated Power Cable 2x1.5mm² for High Temperature Environments

The SiHF silicone insulated power cable with a 2x1.5mm² cross-section is a specialized electrical solution engineered for demanding environments where high thermal resistance is critical. Constructed with a flexible conductor and durable silicone rubber insulation, this cable is designed to withstand extreme temperature ranges from -60°C to +180°C. Its robust hose-shaped design ensures consistent performance and reliability in industrial and domestic settings where standard insulation materials would degrade or fail.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this SiHF cable is its exceptional thermal stability, allowing it to operate safely in environments that reach up to 180°C. The silicone rubber material provides superior flexibility, ensuring the cable does not become brittle in cold conditions or melt in high heat. Furthermore, the cable maintains its mechanical integrity over long periods, making it a dependable choice for fixed installations in high-temperature zones. Its resistance to temperature fluctuations ensures a long service life and reduces the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.

Suitable for

• Sauna heating systems and lighting
• Industrial heating equipment and furnaces
• High-temperature lighting fixtures
• Machinery operating in extreme thermal conditions
• Applications requiring high flexibility at varying temperatures

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for applications requiring high mechanical abrasion resistance or protection against aggressive chemicals, as silicone rubber is softer than standard PVC or PUR jacketing. It is also not suitable for direct burial in the ground or underwater installations without additional protective conduit.

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 2
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
• Insulation and cover material: Silicone rubber
• Operating temperature range: -60°C to +180°C
• Flammability class: Dca
• Cable shape: Hose
• Package length: 100 m

How to use

The cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. When routing the cable, ensure that the minimum bending radius is respected to prevent damage to the internal conductors. Connections should be made using appropriate terminals that are also rated for high-temperature operation. Ensure that the cable is properly secured and protected from sharp edges or mechanical stress points during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1.5 mm² cross-section is sufficient for the current load of your specific equipment.
• Ensure the installation environment does not exceed the 180°C temperature limit.
• Check if the Dca flammability rating meets the safety requirements for your building project.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the cable is not subjected to mechanical tension or sharp bending during operation. Regularly inspect the silicone insulation for signs of physical damage if the cable is moved frequently.
