HIGH TEMPERATURE CABLES

High temperature cables are used in areas where both working temperatures and ambient temperatures are too high. They are made with a wide range of conductors, insulating materials and screening materials depending on the temperatures and conditions under which the cable has to perform.

Single core high temperature hook-up wires & Multi core / Multi pair, Screened & Unscreened and Armoured & Unarmoured cables:

  • Construction : Single Core or Multi Core / Pairs
  • Voltage Grade : 250VAC, 600VAC & 1000VAC (Rating as per MIL 16878, VDE, DIN, ANSI)
  • Conductors : Annealed bare and/or tinned copper conductor (up to 120° C)
    Annealed silver plated copper conductor (up to 200° C)
    Nickel plated conductors (up to 260° C)
