In2Connect can help solve your toughest wire and cable problems. Providing wire, cable, and accessories designed to operate in a temperature range from -100°C to +1000°C requires a great deal of experience in selecting the most suitable raw materials and cable constructions for the application.

From blast furnaces to cryogenics, we have many years of such experience.

Wire and cable insulation's commonly employed include: Kapton Polyimide tape, modified silicone rubbers, magnesium oxide, Teflon®, polyurethane, PTFE, mica tapes, TPE, foamed FEP or Tefzel®, thermo-set cross-linked polyolefin etc.

Careful selection of these materials, utilizing common industry standards, keep minimum orders low and lead times in check.

From single conductor to complex composite thermocouple cables the product mix includes: High speed coaxial cables, fixed and flexible wiring cables, furnace/areo engine test bed instrumentation cables and thermocouples, and fire 'critical' circuit cables.

Our experience in tough wire and cable applications allows you more choices than ever before and in the end, the right cable for the job.

Conductors ~In the UK plating is generally employed on copper or copper alloy conductors to improve resistance to corrosion/oxidisation at high temperatures and to assist termination.

Very often it is the plating which will determine the temperature rating of a given cable and the accepted UK 'norms' are:

For cables operating at temperatures well above 260ºC, Copper/Nickel, Nickel/Chrome (Nichrome) or other suitable high conductivity alloys, or even Grade A Nickel will need to be utilised. These do not equal the conductivity of electrolytic copper.
