Carbon Fiber Heating Cable – 25 W/m, 3 mm, Red, Silicone Rubber Insulation
Carbon fiber heating cable is designed for even heat distribution in underfloor heating, pipe frost protection, roof and gutter de-icing, heating mats, and various industrial heating system applications. The flexible 3 mm construction, red silicone rubber insulation, and carbon fiber core allow the cable to be used in different areas where controlled and uniform heating is required.
Main idea:
This cable is intended for individually designed electric heating systems, where the cable length, resistance, supply voltage, and required heating power are selected according to the specific installation. The cable is sold by the meter, with a minimum order length of 10 m.Rated power

From 10 mOperating principle
When the cable is connected to a properly selected power supply, the carbon fiber core generates heat through electrical resistance. The heat is transferred to the cable surface and the surrounding structure – floor, pipe, gutter, heating mat, or another heated element.
The cable power depends on the supply voltage, total cable resistance, and selected length. As the cable length increases, its total resistance also increases; therefore, at the same supply voltage, the total system power and heat output per meter decrease.
Power calculation principle:
Heating power is calculated using the formula P = U² / R, where P is power in watts, U is supply voltage in volts, and R is the total cable resistance in ohms. Before installation, it is essential to know the exact resistance per meter of the specific cable and the total planned cable length.Technical parameters
Product type Carbon fiber heating cable Core type 12K carbon fiber Rated power 25 W/m Cable diameter 3 mm ±0.2 mm Color Red Insulation material Silicone rubber Temperature limit Up to 200°C Infrared wavelength 8-18 μm Conductor resistance 33 ±10 % Ω/m High-voltage test 3000 V Leakage current 0.05 mA/m Sold length According to order, by the meter Minimum order length 10 m Power selection according to cable length
The total heating system power depends on the supply voltage and the total cable resistance. The following formula is used for calculation:
P = U² / RExample for 10 m of 12K carbon fiber cable:
230V × 230V / (10 m × 33 Ω) = approx. 150 W total power.Example for 15 m of 12K carbon fiber cable:
230V × 230V / (15 m × 33 Ω) = approx. 100 W total power.Important note about power:
At the same supply voltage, a longer cable has a higher total resistance, so its total power decreases. Before ordering, it is necessary to confirm the cable resistance per meter, planned length, supply voltage, and required power per meter.Main functions
- Even infrared heating – the carbon fiber core helps distribute heat evenly.
- Heat transfer to surfaces – IR heating primarily warms nearby objects and structures.
- Power adjustment by length – cable length and resistance allow the design of an individual heating solution.
- Temperature resistance up to 200°C – suitable for various low and higher temperature systems.
- Flexible 3 mm construction – easier to install in curved or limited-space routes.
- Silicone rubber insulation – elastic and temperature-resistant outer cable sheath.
- 3000V high-voltage test – specified insulation test parameter.
Where is it used?
- Underfloor heating systems – in residential, office, and public premises.
- Pipe frost protection – for heating water, technical, and other pipelines.
- Roof and gutter de-icing – to reduce ice and snow accumulation in properly designed systems.
- Heating mat production – by integrating the cable into special heated structures.
- Industrial heating solutions – for heating tanks, surfaces, small technological units, or other elements.
- Heat maintenance systems – when equipment or surfaces need protection from excessively low temperatures.
Practical usage example
For example, when designing pipe frost protection, the cable is laid along the pipe or spirally, maintaining an even distance between turns. The cable is fixed using suitable means and, if necessary, additionally covered with thermal insulation to reduce heat losses.
In an underfloor heating system, the cable is laid according to a prepared installation plan, maintaining the specified spacing between cable runs. Before pouring the structure or covering it with a finishing layer, the cable resistance, insulation, and operation of the entire system must be checked.
Use according to need
For an electrician: suitable for individually designed heating solutions where cable length and power are selected according to the installation location, supply voltage, and required heat output.
For a heating system installer: can be used for pipe frost protection, underfloor heating, gutter de-icing, and heat maintenance solutions.
For an industrial specialist: suitable for heating various structures, surfaces, equipment units, and technological processes where a flexible and individually selected cable is required.
For a designer: cable power must be calculated according to the selected voltage, cable resistance, total length, installation environment, and heat losses of the specific project.
Advantages
- Carbon fiber core – designed for more even heat distribution.
- Flexible 3 mm construction – convenient for installation in more complex routes.
- Silicone rubber insulation – flexible and temperature-resistant.
- Temperature limit up to 200°C – suitable for various heating solutions.
- Custom length according to order – can be adapted to a specific project.
- Suitable for floors, pipes, gutters, and industrial applications.
- Specified 3000V high-voltage test.
- Minimum order from 10 m – suitable for larger and individual projects.
Disadvantages / limitations
- Professional design is required – power depends on length, resistance, and supply voltage.
- Minimum order quantity – 10 m.
- The cable must not be shortened arbitrarily without checking the final resistance and power.
- Incorrect installation may cause uneven heating, overheating, or increased heat losses.
- Additional control and protection elements are required – thermostat, residual current protection, and other system components according to the project.
Safety and installation notes
The heating cable length, resistance, power, supply voltage, and installation method must be selected for the specific project. An incorrectly calculated system may overheat, fail to reach the required temperature, or become damaged.
- Installation and electrical connection must be performed by a qualified specialist.
- Before ordering, the actual cable resistance per meter and planned supply voltage must be confirmed.
- The 200°C cable temperature limit must not be exceeded.
- The cable must not be crossed, overlapped, or bent sharply below the radius allowed by the manufacturer.
- In floor and pipe systems, a suitable thermostat or temperature control system must be used.
- It is recommended to use a suitable circuit breaker and residual current protection in the electrical circuit.
- Before and after installation, cable resistance and insulation condition must be measured.
- The cable must be protected from mechanical damage, sharp edges, and unsuitable fixing methods.

- protect pipes from freezing;
- heat roof or gutter zones to reduce ice accumulation;
- integrate the cable into a heating mat or another heated structure;
- adapt the cable length to the heat demand of a specific project.
Check before ordering:- what cable length is required for the specific project;
- what supply voltage will be used;
- what power per meter and total power need to be achieved;
- whether a thermostat, temperature sensor, or other control device is required at the installation site;
- whether the cable resistance per meter is precisely confirmed in the supplier’s technical documentation;
- whether installation conditions match the cable temperature and insulation capabilities.
Important reminder:
The heating cable is sold by the meter from 10 m. Since cable power depends on length and resistance, the final system power must be calculated before ordering and the exact resistance of the specific cable must be confirmed.FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
