FIEGE ElectronicThe connection between the hot runner control unit and the mold is made by the cable. It carries the heater power and brings the thermocouple signal back. Because it moves constantly in the production environment and is exposed to oil and heat, cable quality has a direct effect on downtime.

| Type | Construction | Sheath |
|---|---|---|
| Heater cable | Fine-stranded wire (black, printed with white numerals + green/yellow PE) | Grey PVC |
| Thermocouple cable | Fe/CuNi type J, twin fine-stranded wire 0.5 mm² (black +, white −) | Black PVC |
| Combined cable | Thermocouple (inside, 0.5 mm² twin core) + power lines 1.5 mm² in one cable | Black PVC |
Common values: Rated voltage 300/500 V · +5 … +70 °C in mobile use · −30 … +80 °C when permanently installed · The thermocouple cable complies with DIN IEC 584 / DIN 43713.
The cables are resistant to oil and chemicals and can be used in dry or damp environments.
Every manufacturer's mold socket is different. FIEGE covers more than 200 different connection standards; cables can be supplied pre-assembled (with the connectors fitted) or by the meter. Special lengths and configurations are produced to customer requirement.

Stäubli multi-coupling cables (2-way and 4-way) allow several circuits to be connected in a single movement — shortening the mold change time. Adapter boxes make sockets of different standards compatible with one another.
