16AWG High Temperature Resistant Soft Silicone Wire – Red

16AWG High Temperature Resistant Soft Silicone Wire – Red is a premium-grade flexible cable designed for high-current, high-temperature applications in electronics, robotics, EV projects, and RC systems. The pure copper strands and silicone rubber insulation ensure excellent flexibility, heat resistance, and durability even in harsh environments.

Key Features:

• High Flexibility: Ultra-soft silicone insulation allows tight bends and smooth routing.
• High Temperature Rated: Operates safely in environments up to 200°C.
• Low Resistance: Made from multi-stranded tinned pure copper for maximum conductivity.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Resistant to aging, abrasion, chemicals, and moisture.
• Color Coded: Distinct red jacket for easy polarity identification in DC wiring.
