Customer Questions & Answers
What are the benefits of using a 16AWG silicone flexible cable compared with PVC cables in laboratory applications?
The silicone coating offers greater thermal resistance (up to 200°C) and flexibility, reducing bending fatigue in continuous testing. Unlike PVC, silicone retains its elasticity under extreme temperatures and provides better insulation in high-voltage environments. The main trade-off is a higher cost than standard PVC cables.
What are the dimensions and weight per metre of the cable, and what exactly is included when buying it?
The 16AWG cable has an approximate diameter of 4.0 mm (including the insulation) and weighs around 38 g per metre. The listed price is for each linear metre of cable, with no connectors or other accessories included.
What precautions should be taken when stripping and installing the cable to avoid damaging the silicone jacket?
It is recommended to use adjustable stripping tools so as not to cut or tear the silicone jacket, as the material is softer than PVC and can be damaged easily. A shallow, controlled cut helps prevent a reduction in dielectric strength. Avoiding conventional blades improves the durability of the insulation.
What safety standards or certifications does this cable comply with, and can it be used in systems subject to international regulations?
The information provided does not specify any particular certifications such as UL, CE or RoHS. For use in installations subject to explicit regulations, it is advisable to check whether specific certificates are required before selecting it. It may be suitable for prototyping, laboratory work or testing, but not necessarily for regulated installations.
What is the 16AWG black silicone flexible cable used for?
It is ideal for making test leads and for use in multimeters and other measuring equipment that requires resistance to high temperatures and voltages.
What is the maximum temperature this cable can withstand?
This cable is resistant up to 200ºC thanks to its flexible silicone insulation.
Is the cable sold by the metre?
Yes, the price shown is for one metre of cable, allowing you to buy the amount you need.
Is it suitable for high-voltage applications?
Yes, it withstands up to 3kV, so it is suitable for applications that require high electrical resistance.
What colour is the cable?
The cable is black to make it easier to identify in installations.
