STERILISATION
Sterilisers and disinfection equipment
Internal wiring near heaters and chambers of autoclaves, washers and disinfectors. Give the local temperature and steam exposure.
Typical application
APPLICATION / Medical equipment
Silicone Wire for
Medical Equipment
Equipment wiring, not patient contact.
We start from silicone-insulated, silicone-sheathed cable for internal equipment wiring: 300/500 V, rated −60 °C (−76°F) to +180 °C (356°F) continuous and +200 °C (392°F) short-term, with 2 to 10 cores from 0.2 mm² to 2.5 mm².
AT A GLANCE
Medical equipment wiring at a glance
Each equipment connection and the silicone cable we start from.
| Connection | Cable construction | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| Sterilisers and disinfection equipment | Silicone-insulated and sheathed cable | +200 °C (392°F) short-term; sterilisation cycles not yet tested |
| Medical and laboratory equipment | Silicone-insulated and sheathed cable, 2 to 10 cores | 300/500 V equipment cable; not medical-device approved or offered for patient contact. |
| Cleanroom and pharmaceutical equipment | Silicone-insulated and sheathed cable | Cleaning agents reviewed per route |
CONNECTION TASKS
Medical equipment wiring
Our silicone-insulated and sheathed cable is used for wiring medical and disinfection equipment, cleanroom devices, and pharmaceutical and bio-engineering equipment. It is for wiring inside equipment and is not tested for biocompatibility or patient contact.
DEVICE WIRING
Medical and laboratory equipment
Internal connections in equipment housings. Specify voltage, conductor size, core count and required approvals.
Typical application
CLEANROOM
Cleanroom and pharmaceutical equipment
Wiring on process equipment in pharmaceutical and bio-engineering areas. Describe cleaning agents and cleanroom requirements.
Typical application
SELECTION CHECKS
Operating conditions to specify
Include these conditions with your enquiry so we can select the right cable.
Device context
The equipment type and the standards and documents for its internal wiring define the requirement.
Cleaning & sterilisation
Cleaning agents, sterilisation method, temperature and number of cycles set the exposure to test against.
Contact boundary
The cable must not contact patients; patient-contact cables need separate biocompatibility evidence.

APPLICATION LIMITS
Internal equipment wiring — not for patient contact
Cables that touch patients are a separate product category with dedicated testing.
- Equipment wiring
- Internal connections: temperature, voltage and cleaning exposure.
- Process equipment
- Cleanroom and pharmaceutical machines: cleaning agents and particle requirements.
- Patient-contact cable
- Probe, catheter or monitoring leads need biocompatibility testing and are outside our standard range.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Frequently asked questions
Is this a medical-grade cable?
No. The cable has not been tested for biocompatibility (such as ISO 10993) and has no medical-device approval. It is offered only for wiring inside equipment.
Can it withstand autoclave cycles?
An autoclave-cycle rating is not specified in the product datasheet. The temperature rating alone does not establish sterilisation-cycle performance.
What bend radius does the cable need inside equipment?
At least 6 × the outside diameter when fixed and 10 × when moved. Outside diameters run from 5.1 mm to 18.3 mm.
