Thermo-Trex® Silica Ultra-Sleeve High Temperature Sleeving

I’m a big proponent of TPC Wire & Cable and have used many of their product offerings over the past several years at Simpson Tacoma Kraft. We used the 16/3 Super-Trex® Ultra-Gard® Portable Cable power our new LED lights on one of our roadways. Regular SO Cord would always become dry rotted and crack, causing the light to become inoperable. I have not experienced this problem with the Super-Trex cable.

Silica offers temperature resistance up to 2,300°F (1,260°C) while offering outstanding flame resistance, flexibility and tensile strength. It also doesn’t have the negative health effects associated with asbestos or ceramic sleeves. Additional inside diameters up to 4 inches are available upon request. This silica material can be used to create a custom blanket for a specific piece of equipment or cabinet as well.
