What is the maximum working temperature for GORE™ Cables?
We work with a wide variety of materials in our cables, so the answer to this question varies, depending on the specific materials used in the cable. You can basically break down cable materials we work with into two broad application areas: below 100°C and above 100°C. The applications below 100°C are mostly industrial that run at -40°C to 100°C. If you get below -40°C, PTFE is a great material to use, as is silicone, depending on how low the temperature goes. For applications above 100°C, PTFE is rated for continuous use to 260°C and can be used for short-term applications at 300°C and slightly higher.
