UL 3582 Fluoropolymer Silicone Jacket Cable Overview
UL AWM Style 3582 is a single-conductor cable using a non-integral jacket construction, supplied by CableApex as a factory-direct manufacturer, combining a fluoropolymer-insulated conductor with a separate extruded silicone rubber outer jacket. The complete cable is rated 150°C and 1000 Vac. This is a single-conductor cable — not a multicore, multi-conductor, or control-cable construction. Conductor size, insulation material, jacket construction, and colour are confirmed according to the ordered specification.

Fluoropolymer Insulation Options and Thickness by AWG
The inner insulation may be extruded FEP, extruded PFA, extruded PTFE, or extruded ETFE, applied in one or two layers according to the qualified construction. Which specific fluoropolymer is used depends on the ordered construction — this page does not fix the insulation to one single chemistry, since the Style permits any of the four.
| Conductor Size | Min. Average Thickness | Min. Thickness at Any Point |
|---|---|---|
| 40–10 AWG | 20 mils | 18 mils |
| 9–2 AWG | 30 mils | 27 mils |
| 1–4/0 AWG | 45 mils | 40 mils |
Extruded Silicone Rubber Jacket by AWG
Over the fluoropolymer-insulated conductor, UL Style 3582 specifies an extruded silicone rubber (SR) jacket as a non-integral outer layer — a separate jacketing step rather than part of the primary insulation. This two-layer construction is the defining feature of Style 3582.
| Conductor Size | Min. Average Thickness | Min. Thickness at Any Point |
|---|---|---|
| 40–3 AWG | 30 mils | 24 mils |
| 2–2/0 AWG | 45 mils | 36 mils |
| 3/0–4/0 AWG | 65 mils | 52 mils |
Optional Shield
UL Style 3582 permits an optional shield construction. This is an order-specific feature, not a standard component of every 3582 cable. We do not publish shield material, coverage, or shielding-effectiveness figures on this page, as none are established by the Style-level record — specify your shielding requirement when requesting a quotation if applicable.
Single-Conductor Jacketed Construction
UL 3582 is a single-conductor cable — it is not a multicore, multiconductor, control, signal, or instrumentation cable. Conductor material and finish (bare or plated) are not established by the Style-level record and are confirmed according to your ordered specification. We do not publish strand count, strand diameter, conductor resistance, current-carrying capacity, or finished outside diameter, as these depend on the actual ordered construction.
Internal Wiring Applications
UL Style 3582 is designated for internal wiring. Appropriate application language for this page includes equipment internal wiring, protected internal routing, and internal electrical connections where the 150°C / 1000 Vac jacketed construction is specified. This page does not extend the product to building wire, branch circuit wiring, field wiring, tray cable, conduit cable, direct-burial or outdoor power cable, utility distribution, control cable, VFD cable, instrumentation cable, robotics or drag-chain cable, automotive battery cable, EV cable, solar cable, or aerospace/aircraft cable.
UL 3582 vs Standard Single-Layer AWM Wire
UL 3582 differs from a conventional single-layer fluoropolymer AWM wire in construction: it adds a separate, non-integral extruded silicone rubber jacket over the fluoropolymer-insulated conductor, at meaningfully greater thickness than the fluoropolymer insulation alone. This is not presented here as universally better, safer, more durable, or more flexible than standard single-layer wire — it is a distinct two-layer construction that should be selected when your equipment specification calls for the jacketed Style 3582 build and its 150°C / 1000 Vac rating specifically. We do not describe this product as ultra-flexible, high-flex, or drag-chain suitable, and do not publish a bending radius or flex-cycle rating.
What to Specify When Ordering UL 3582 Cable
To provide an accurate quotation for UL 3582 fluoropolymer silicone jacket cable, please specify:
- Required AWG size within the 40 AWG–4/0 AWG range
- Solid or stranded round conductor
- Conductor material and finish
- Fluoropolymer insulation type — FEP, PFA, PTFE, or ETFE
- Single- or double-layer insulation, if specified
- Shield requirement, if any
- Jacket colour, if required
- Order quantity
- Packaging requirement
- UL marking requirement, if applicable
- Documentation requirements, including RoHS / REACH if needed
- Equipment / internal-wiring application
- Shipping destination
Send this information and we respond with a quotation within 12 business hours. Production lead time depends on the confirmed construction and order quantity, and shipping options and applicable Incoterms are confirmed during quotation according to destination.
UL Marking and Documentation
Qualifying UL AWM Style 3582 constructions can be supplied through the relevant qualified manufacturing scope for this Style. UL marking and related documentation must correspond to the confirmed qualified construction supplied for the order; not every configuration automatically carries identical UL marking, and this should be confirmed during quotation. RoHS and REACH are separate regulatory frameworks from UL recognition; applicable RoHS / REACH documentation requirements can be confirmed according to the ordered construction.
