FAQ

The main difference lies in their properties and temperature ranges. Silicone cables are very flexible and suitable for temperatures up to 250°C, ideal for applications with movement or vibration, and offer good resistance to moisture and chemicals. However, their mechanical strength is moderate. Fiberglass cables are more rigid but support much higher temperatures, up to 1000°C, and offer excellent mechanical strength and fire resistance. They are perfect for industrial ovens and static environments with extreme heat. The choice depends on the maximum temperature and the need for flexibility.
