Product Overview
The UL 4535 Silicone Rubber Cable is engineered for extreme industrial applications requiring EMI protection, saltwater resistance, and sustained operation up to 200°C. Featuring a tinned copper braid shield and dual-layer silicone construction, this cable delivers superior performance in foundries, steel mills, and high-heat processes where standard cables fail. UL AWM 4535 certified for North American markets.

Material Advantages vs. Standard Cables
Property | UL 4535 Cable | Standard Cable |
---|---|---|
Heat Resistance | ✅ 200°C continuous | ❌ Typically 90-125°C |
Shielding | ✅ Tinned copper braid (EMI proof) | ❌ Often unshielded |
Saltwater Res. | ✅ No corrosion degradation | ❌ Rapid corrosion |
Flexibility | ✅ Maintains pliability at -60°C | ❌ Brittle below 0°C |
