Should I choose the cable by temperature alone?
No. Temperature narrows the material family, but voltage, conductor size, flexibility, environment, installation and required approvals can change the final construction.
Engineering Buyer Guide
Choose the cable from the
operating conditions.
A practical starting point for comparing high-temperature wire families before a drawing, sample or quotation is confirmed.
Family Comparison
Which family should you review?

Frequently Asked Questions
Before you request a quote.
Clear technical information at the start usually reduces repeated questions and shortens model confirmation.
What is the difference between continuous and short-term temperature?
Continuous temperature describes normal service. Short-term or fire exposure must include duration and test conditions; it should not be treated as a continuous operating rating.
Can Guofeng work from an existing model or sample?
Yes. Send the marking, model number, drawing or clear sample photos together with the operating conditions. We will review the closest catalog family before quotation.
Can colour, printing and packing be customized?
These details can be reviewed with the technical construction and order quantity. Confirm colour, marking content, coil or reel length and export packing before production.
How should approvals be confirmed?
State the destination market and exact required standard or style. Current certificate scope and model applicability should be checked before order confirmation.
