NFG Cable stands for Nickel Core Fiberglass cable, a specialized high-temperature wire designed to operate safely in extreme heat environments.
Key Characteristics
Conductor: Made from either pure nickel or nickel-plated copper strands to resist oxidation and maintain electrical conductivity under thermal stress.
Insulation: Wrapped in fiberglass braiding and impregnated with high-temperature silicone or varnish.
Temperature Ratings: Standard configurations generally handle continuous temperatures from 250°C to 450°C.
Armoring: Often supplied with an outer stainless steel (S/S) braid for extra abrasion resistance and mechanical protection in harsh industrial settings.
Common Applications
Industrial ovens, furnaces, and kilns
Heating element hookups and commercial stoves
Temperature sensors and thermocouple extensions
Plastics, metal casting, and aerospace manufacturing
