SIHF Silicone Rubber High-Temperature Control Cable
SIHF is a silicone rubber insulated and sheathed control cable engineered for environments where high-temperature swings cause conventional PVC-insulated cable to soften or turn brittle. It resists a wide range of animal and vegetable fats, oils and dilute acids, and does not break down when exposed to alcohols or alkaline solutions — its silicone insulation blocks oxygen and ozone ingress, and if the cable does burn, the resulting silica ash layer still clings to the conductor, helping to prevent short circuits. Built with a tinned copper conductor, color-coded silicone-insulated cores and a halogen-free, flame-retardant silicone sheath, SIHF is dual certified to CE and UL standards, with OEM/ODM support and standard lead times as fast as 7 days.
Key Features
SIHF combines high-temperature silicone construction with halogen-free, flame-retardant safety performance for demanding control applications.
High-Temperature Rated to 180°C
Stable performance across -50°C to +180°C, with adequate ventilation for fixed installation.
