Product application

SiHF-C-Si is a special 180 Degree C. silicone multi-core cable for use in high and low temperature areas or whenever the insulation is subject to extreme temperature changes. These cables are mainly found in steel producing industry and aviation industry as well as in ship building, cement, glass and ceramic factories. SIHF-C-Si cables are low-smoke and halogen-free especially suited for use in power stations. The silicone jacket provides added heat, chemical, oil and acidic resistance while the internal tinned copper braid shield protects against electromagnetic interference offering disturbance free signals and impulses. Not permitted for outdoor use

Construction

• Tinned copper conductor according to DIN VDE 0295 cl.5, BS 6360 cl.5 and IEC 60228 cl.5
• Conductor insulation of silicone

• imprinted in white, for 2 conductors brown, blue
• Conductors stranded in layers with optimal lay-length
• Green-yellow grounding (3 conductors)
• Inner jacket of silicone
• Braid of tinned Cu wires, coverage approx. 85%
• Silicone-rubber-insulated common outer jacket
• Jacket preferentially red brown color

Properties

• Advantages
  Hardly changes of dielectric strength and the insulation resistance also at high temperatures, high ignition or flash point, in case of fire, forms an insulating layer of SiO2
• Resistant to
  High molecular oils, fats from vegetables and animals, alcohols, plasticizers and clophenes, diluted acids, lye and salt dissolution, oxidation substances, tropical influences and weather, lake water, oxygen and UV
• Halogen-free
  According to DIN VDE 0482 part 267/ EN 50267-2-1/ IEC 60754-1 (equivalent DIN VDE 0472 part 815)
• Behavior in fire
  No flame propagation
  Test according to DIN VDE 0482 part 265-2-1/ EN 50265-2-1/ IEC 60332-1 (equivalent DIN VDE 0472 part 804 test method B)

For laying as a fixed installation only in open or ventilated pipe systems as well as in ducts. Otherwise the mechanical properties of the silicon are reduced by the enclosed air at temperatures exceeding 90°C.
