The steel market has faced many challenges such as supply chain issues and project halts due to the worldwide pandemic trials throughout recent years. Don’t let cable failure add to the mix!
Do you find yourself repairing your equipment’s cable and wire due to exposure to high temperatures, harsh chemicals, abrasion, or impact? What about difficulty handling or managing cables due to their weight, stiffness, or flexibility in tight spaces?
Stop the constant replacement of commodity-grade cables in your steel yard and switch to the secure investment of industrial cables and accessories to reduce downtime and increase the lifespan of your cables.
Why High-Temperature Industrial Cables?
High-Temperature cables are typically made with high-quality materials and have advanced features such as specially woven glass-braid jackets impregnated with abrasion-resistant finishing compounds, silicone insulation, nickel-plated copper conductors, no-wick fillers, and available stainless steel overbraiding. These cables will have industry ratings and high-performance characteristics to ensure durability against the harsh environments your equipment faces.
High-Temperature Wire and Cable Accessories
Consider completing your protection with accessories such as sleeving and cable tape.
High-Temperature Sleeves
Ceramic, silica, fiberglass, silicone and abrasion-resistant sleeves offer exceptional protection to give you peace of mind and the confidence that your cables and cords are strong enough to resist damage from flame, heat, molten splash, chemicals or other destructive forces.
Cable Tape
A vulcanizing insulated wrap that doesn’t rely on adhesives to resist oil, water and other grime or a high-temperature silica tape will protect against radiant heat and flame.
