The series heating cable CAEx is usually wound around the outer side of pipes in order to prevent the formation of ice in pipes. The cable is equipped with a bimetal thermostat in the version +3°C ± 3°C +8°C ± 3°C (also available in the version +3°C ± 3°C +13°C ± 3°C), which activates the circuit only when a specific temperature is reached, thus enabling significant energy savings. The cable is supplied cut to measure and with schuko plug to offer a practical plug-in solution: the cable length cannot be shortened by the end user.
