Shumee OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiF Silicone Cable 1x0.5mm Blue 100m

The Shumee OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiF is a high-performance single-core silicone cable designed for demanding electrical applications where thermal stability is critical. Featuring a 0.5mm cross-section and a durable blue silicone insulation, this cable maintains its physical and electrical properties across a wide temperature range. The 100-meter spool offers sufficient length for extensive wiring projects in industrial and commercial settings, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.

Advantages

This silicone cable stands out due to its exceptional resistance to extreme heat and cold, preventing the insulation from becoming brittle or melting under harsh conditions. Its high flexibility allows for easy routing in tight spaces or complex machinery layouts, reducing installation time and effort. Furthermore, the material composition ensures long-term durability, making it a cost-effective choice for environments where standard PVC cables would fail.

Suitable for

• Industrial machinery and equipment wiring
• Heating and cooling systems
• Lighting fixtures and high-temperature lamps
• Control panels and switchgear
• Electrical installations in sauna or oven environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for applications requiring high mechanical abrasion resistance or direct burial in soil without additional protection. It is also not suitable for use in environments where it will be exposed to aggressive chemicals or oils that are incompatible with silicone materials.

Key specifications

• Core cross-section: 0.5 mm
• Insulation material: Silicone rubber
• Color: Blue
• Temperature range: Up to +180°C
• Length: 100 meters
• Core type: Single-core

How to use

To use the cable, strip the silicone insulation carefully using a suitable wire stripper to avoid damaging the copper conductor. Ensure that the cable is routed through conduits or cable trays where mechanical protection is required. When connecting, verify that the terminals are clean and tightened to the manufacturer's specifications to ensure a secure electrical contact. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bending radius of the cable to maintain its structural integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the current carrying capacity requirements for your specific application
• Ensure the 0.5mm cross-section is sufficient for your voltage and amperage needs
• Check if the environment requires additional mechanical shielding
• Confirm the color coding matches your local electrical standards

Usage recommendations

For optimal longevity, ensure the cable is not subjected to constant mechanical tension or vibration. When installing in high-temperature zones, keep the cable away from direct contact with open flames or sharp metal edges that could compromise the silicone insulation.
