Built to Perform in the Toughest Industrial Environments
In the extreme conditions of steel plants – where heat, molten metal, and mechanical stress are part of daily operations – performance and reliability are non-negotiable. That’s where Radix Wire & Cable comes in. For over 80 years, we’ve been delivering high-temperature wire and cable solutions for the most challenging environments, and our products are trusted by steel facilities across the country.
Why Steel Plants Choose Radix
Steel mills operate 24/7, with limited downtime for repairs. The electrical systems that support furnaces, conveyors, and automation must be rugged, heat-resistant, and long-lasting. Our high-temperature wire products are engineered to withstand:
- Sustained high ambient temperatures up to 1000°C
- Exposure to slag, oil, and chemicals
- Continuous flexing and mechanical abrasion
Ideal for Cable Carriers (PowerTraks), Reeling Applications, and Festoon Applications
One of the most demanding applications within a steel plant is the cable carrier, also known as the PowerTrak system, which guides and protects electrical cables along moving machinery. Reeling applications and festoon applications can also be demanding. All these systems require wire that can withstand:
- Repeated flexing and movement
- Proximity to high heat sources
- Vibration and mechanical stress
Radix high-temp wires deliver exceptional continuous motion performance in steel plant applications, offering superior flexibility and long service life. Proven Radix products that perform in these applications include:
- Titan Cat6 200○C – Critical communication and camera systems cable
- Titan Cables – Multiconductor cables with molten splash resistant outer layer.
- Super J High-Volt 200 – Single lead wires
- SRS Super J 200 – Multiconductor cable
