Fiberglass cables are among the most reliable solutions for high-temperature applications in industrial environments and sectors that require electrical and mechanical stability even under extreme conditions.
Caviterm products are designed to meet these needs, thanks to selected raw materials, careful production processes, and constant quality control.
Fiberglass cables are electrical conductors insulated and coated with high-resistance fiberglass spirals and braids. Depending on the conditions of the various applications, fiberglass may be the sole insulation or may also be combined with other materials such as silicone rubber and PTFE. The correct combination of these insulating materials allows the cable to maintain integrity and performance even when subjected to intense heat, vibrations, and extreme conditions in general.
Fiberglass is composed of micro-filaments compacted and braided together to form an insulation that is robust, lightweight, and not subject to thermal degradation as occurs with traditional plastic materials.
To fully understand how they work and what they are capable of, it may also be useful to explore the insulation class of electrical cables, which defines the thermal and performance limits of insulants.
Compared to PVC, silicone rubber, or PTFE, fiberglass offers significant advantages for specific applications:
Caviterm cables leverage this material to ensure consistent performance where conventional solutions cannot function.
Fiberglass cables are chosen primarily for three types of performance:
Caviterm produces several families of fiberglass cables, designed to meet specific needs:
Caviterm fiberglass cables offer numerous advantages:
To identify the most suitable cable for your needs, it is useful to consider:
Caviterm can support the selection process thanks to technical expertise and a complete catalog of standard and customized solutions.
It is extremely resistant to heat and abrasion. When combined with other insulants and the correct impregnating agent, it is also optimal against chemical agents. It maintains integrity and properties even beyond 400°C, making it suitable for conditions that would damage other insulants.
They are used when the working environment features high temperatures, presence of flame, and moderate vibrations. Ideal for furnaces, resistances, thermocouples, motors, and industrial equipment.
No. Fiberglass is not toxic and does not emit harmful substances at normal operating temperatures. It does not burn and does not produce dangerous fumes like some plastic materials.
Their service life depends on correct operating conditions and is in any case always longer than that of plastic insulants.
The cost varies depending on cross-section, conductor type, number of cores, and any additional coatings. In general, they have a competitive price compared to other high-temperature cables, especially considering their longevity.
