The Shumee OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiF is a high-performance single-core silicone cable engineered for demanding electrical applications where thermal stability is a priority. Featuring a 1mm² cross-section and a robust blue silicone insulation, this cable maintains its mechanical and electrical properties even when exposed to elevated temperatures. The 100-meter spool offers a practical 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 high temperatures, allowing it to function reliably in environments where standard PVC cables would degrade. The silicone insulation provides excellent flexibility, making it easy to route through complex machinery or tight spaces without the risk of cracking or breaking. Furthermore, the material is highly resistant to various chemical influences and maintains its integrity over long periods of operation, which reduces the need for frequent maintenance or replacement in critical systems.
Suitable for
- Industrial machinery and equipment wiring
- Heating and cooling systems
- Lighting fixtures and high-temperature lamps
- Control panels and switchgear
- Oven and furnace installations
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high mechanical abrasion resistance, as the silicone insulation is softer than standard thermoplastic materials. It should also not be used in environments where it will be subjected to constant sharp bending or heavy physical impact, as this could compromise the integrity of the insulation.
Key specifications
- Conductor cross-section: 1 mm²
- Insulation material: Silicone rubber
- Color: Blue
- Length: 100 meters
- Temperature resistance: High-temperature rated
- Core type: Single-core
How to use
To use the Shumee OLFLEX HEAT 180 SiF, carefully strip the silicone insulation using a suitable wire stripper, ensuring the copper conductor remains undamaged. Route the cable through the intended path, taking care to avoid sharp edges or surfaces that could cause abrasion. Secure the cable using appropriate cable ties or conduits if necessary, and ensure all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications for the equipment being wired.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the current-carrying capacity requirements for your specific application.
- Ensure the cable diameter is compatible with your connectors and cable glands.
- Check the environmental conditions to ensure silicone is the appropriate material for the specific chemical or thermal exposure.
Usage recommendations: Always ensure that the cable is installed in accordance with local electrical codes and safety standards. Avoid exceeding the maximum temperature ratings specified for the cable to maintain its long-term performance and safety.
