About Wire and Cable
More
High-Temperature Cable
The insulation on this cable withstands high-heat applications such as ovens and furnaces. The wires are silver or nickel plated for corrosion resistance.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern. It has a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape around each wire. The entire cable is wrapped in a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape, and then covered in PTFE. The PTFE outer insulation resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.
Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has PTFE outer and inner insulation that resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.

High-Temperature Continuous-Flex Cable
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/629/6293n112@halfx_aq2p9_1714162588.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion, Ovens and Furnaces
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -10° to 350° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Silicone Rubber
Inner: FEP Plastic
Bend and flex this silicone-insulated cable in temperatures up to 350° F. It can keep moving in areas twice as hot as most other continuous-flex cables without degrading data or signal transmission. It’s often used inside cable carriers in feeding lines for blast furnaces or in automated welding and cutting systems. This cable resists abrasion and won’t break down from exposure to chemicals and UV light. It meets IEC standards for flame retardance.
Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.

High-Temperature Wire
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/824/8240k32-@halfx_636699471141320000.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Use for ovens and furnaces
- Fiberglass Fabric Outer Insulation: Flexible
Ceramic Fabric Outer Insulation: Bend and Stay - Temperature Range: See table
Even at 480° F—hotter than some industrial ovens—this wire’s insulation won’t melt.
Wire with a fiberglass outer and mica inner insulation is the common choice for steel mills, iron mills, and glass manufacturing. You may know it as MG wire. Wire with a silicone-coated outer insulation shields your skin from fiberglass particles when handling the wire.
Wire with a fiberglass outer and PTFE inner insulation won’t corrode from moisture, so it’s often used in industrial drying equipment. It also won’t become brittle or crack from chemicals. This wire is commonly known as TGGT wire.
Wire with a ceramic fabric outer insulation withstands the hottest temperatures of our offering, so you can safely run it near open flames. It’s flame rated VW-1 to prevent the spread of fire. This wire won’t become brittle or crack from chemicals. Bend it and it stays in place.

![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/624/6249n11-@halfx_b0psr_1712347243.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Use For: Ovens and Furnaces, Panel and Equipment (Hook-Up)
- Ultra Flexible
- Temperature Range: -75° to 390° F
- Insulation: Silicone Rubber
Keep several colors of high-temperature wire on hand with these assortments. Silicone rubber insulation protects the wire from heat and moisture, and it is flexible enough to bend around tight turns. This wire is often used in ovens, furnaces, and other heating equipment—it’s also known as hook-up wire. Assortments come with one spool of each color listed.
High-Temperature Thin-Insulation Wire
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/629/6291n12-@halfx_55vu8_1719937815.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Use for ovens, furnaces, panel and equipment (hook-up),
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -235° to 570° F
- Insulation: PFA Plastic
With a slim PFA plastic insulation, this wire has the same heat resistance as standard high-temperature wire but its diameter is one-third the size for use in tight spaces. It withstands water, sunlight, and chemicals, making it good for use in oil and gas applications. It’s also known as hook-up wire.
