HTV Nickel-Plated Copper Shield Ni-Cu Braid Fluoropolymer Self-Regulating Heating Cable

About:

This heating cable features a self-regulating core that adjusts heat output based on surrounding temperatures, ensuring energy efficiency and preventing overheating. The nickel-plated copper shield and fluoropolymer jacket enhance its durability, chemical resistance, and suitability for use in harsh environments.

Also Known As:

• Fluoropolymer-coated self-regulating heating cable
• Ni-Cu braid heating cable
• Nickel-plated copper shielded heating cable

Application:
