Abstract: A flame resistant electric cable capable of resisting temperatures in the neighborhood of 1000° C. comprising an electrical conductor comprising electrical wire and a tubular member made of a crosslinkable silicone elastomer which preferably includes a mineral filler. This is followed by a metal/polymer film shield enclosing the conductor which metal has a melting temperature above that temperature at which the elastomer undergoes crosslinking. Finally, the cable structure is surrounded within a polymer jacket, wherein the cable is observed to satisfy UL 2196 fire endurance testing requirements including hose spray without the need for additional mechanical protection.
