UKB is a leading manufacturer and supplier of High Temperature Cables

UKB Electronics offers a comprehensive range of High-Temperature Cables designed to perform reliably in extreme heat where standard cables would degrade and fail. These specialized cables are essential for ensuring the operational continuity and safety of machinery and industrial processes that operate at elevated temperatures, providing robust solutions for the most demanding thermal applications.

Product Anatomy

High-Temperature Cables are defined by their advanced insulation systems. They are constructed with conductors, often nickel-plated copper or pure nickel, to prevent oxidation at high temperatures. The conductor is then insulated with single or multiple layers of specialized materials such as Silicone (for flexibility), Fiberglass (for abrasion resistance), PTFE (for chemical resistance), or Mica Tape (for the most extreme fire and heat conditions).

Key Features & Customisation Options

Extreme Temperature Range: Designed for continuous operation in temperatures from 150°C to over 1000°C.
Specialized Insulation: A wide choice of insulation systems including Silicone, Fiberglass, PTFE, FEP, and Mica composites.
Mechanical Protection: Options for a stainless steel or other metallic braid for enhanced abrasion and mechanical resistance.
Chemical Resistance: Many insulation types offer excellent resistance to industrial oils, fluids, and chemicals.
Applications: Used in industrial furnaces, foundries, glass plants, engine compartments, and high-power lighting systems.

Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities

Our ability to produce reliable high-temperature cables comes from our mastery of specialized processes:

Specialized Insulation Application: We possess dedicated equipment for handling and applying high-temperature materials, from precision PTFE tape wrapping and silicone extrusion to fiberglass braiding.
Nickel Plating & Special Conductor Handling: Our capabilities include in-house nickel plating of copper conductors, which is essential for preventing oxidation and maintaining conductivity at extreme temperatures.
High-Temperature Braiding: We utilize specialized braiding machines to apply protective layers of fiberglass or stainless steel, enhancing the cable’s durability in harsh industrial settings.
