It comes in a variety of materials and temperatures. G2 keeps stock of the most common variety, which is the Digital 70 degree in black nylon. All other varieties have a short leadtime.

Linear heat cable is designed to provide early detection of fire and high temperatures in areas where other forms would not be viable due to the environment or distance. The cable comprises of twisted pair which reacts to changes in the temperature either creating a change in resistance (analogue) or fuses (digital) to create the alert.
