In brief
- The GK-CX is a fully made-to-order version – the voltage, from 1.5 to 400 V, is specified at the time of purchase.
- The output covers the widest band in the catalogue: from 5 all the way to 300 W/m.
- The operating temperature depends on the insulation used, so there is no single catalogue value.
- A steel or glass-fibre braid is available on request.
Prices and stock levels are in the B2B shop. Heaters made to length and with non-standard terminations are quoted individually.
Silicone heating cable, constant wattage – various models GK-CX – how to choose the right one
The GK-CX is a silicone constant wattage heating cable built to order: the supply voltage falls between 1.5 and 400 V and the output between 5 and 300 W/m. The lengths of the heated and cold sections are settled at the ordering stage.
This item is not a variant of a finished model but a starting point for a specification. The catalogue deliberately does not give the operating temperature as a single figure – it depends on the type of insulation chosen for the particular version.
Four things are worth preparing for the enquiry: the voltage in the circuit, the required output per metre, the layout of the heated and cold sections, and whether the cable is to have a steel or a glass-fibre braid.
How to choose the type of heater and the power per metre – we explained it in the selection guide for this category.
Where it works
- Designs in which the catalogue versions do not cover the required output
- Supply at an unusual voltage, including low voltages of a few volts
- Equipment with a prescribed layout of heated and cold sections
- Projects that require a glass-fibre braid
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Have not found your answer? Give the length and where it will be routed – we will select the type of heater and the power.
Ask a questionWhy does the data sheet not give an operating temperature?
Because the version is built to order and the limits are set by the insulation used. The value is settled together with the rest of the specification, not in advance.
How high an output per metre can be achieved here?
Up to 300 W/m, that is nearly four times more than in the catalogue rectangular versions. It is the main reason for reaching for this part number.
Is a ready-made connection kit available?
The data sheet does not list one – the method of termination is settled in the order specification together with the arrangement of the cold sections.
