2mm Cable. Braided with 1m Silicone Sleeve

Braided cable with silicone sleeve: electrical precision for your slot installation

When working on the electronics of a slot circuit or the internal preparation of a car, the quality of the wiring makes a difference. This 2 mm braided section cable with silicone sleeve and 1 metre in length, from the brand Scaleauto, is designed for those who do not want to compromise on any detail in their electrical installation.

Main features

• Section: 2 mm, braided for greater conductivity and flexibility.
• Silicone sleeve: heat and abrasion-resistant protection, with greater flexibility than conventional PVC.
• Length: 1 metre, sufficient for multiple applications in a single work session.
• Scaleauto reference: SC-1627.

Function and performance

The braiding of the inner conductor minimises electrical resistance and improves conductivity compared to a solid wire cable. This translates into a cleaner and more stable signal, which is particularly noticeable in track installations where the power supply must reach each lane with precision.

The silicone sleeve provides superior flexibility compared to standard PVC, making it easier to lay the cable in tight spaces — such as inside a chassis or the wiring paths under the track — without the risk of cracking or bending at sharp angles.

Recommended applications

• Electrical connections in slot track modules.
• Power installations in club or home circuits.
• Repair or replacement of internal wiring in bases and connectors.
• Any workshop task where a flexible and well-protected cable is required.

Assembly and preparation

Being a one-metre cable, it can be cut to the exact length needed at each point of the installation. The silicone strips easily with a standard wire stripper, without fraying the inner braid. We recommend always tinning the ends before securing them to any terminal to ensure maximum electrical contact.

Frequently asked questions

What type of track is this cable compatible with?

As it is a general-purpose cable, it is compatible with any electrical installation of a slot circuit, regardless of whether we are working with Scalextric, Scaleauto, Ninco or other brands.

Can it also be used for the interior of a slot car?

It is primarily aimed at track and workshop installations. For the interior of a slot car, where space is very limited, smaller section cable is usually used. Check Scaleauto's recommendations for internal chassis wiring.

What advantage does the silicone sleeve have over PVC?

Silicone withstands heat better, is more flexible in cold conditions, and does not harden over time. This makes it particularly suitable in environments where the cable may be close to heat sources or subjected to repeated bends.

Is one metre in length sufficient for a complete track module?

It depends on the size of the module and the length of the wiring run. For larger installations, multiple units of the SC-1627 may be needed. It is advisable to measure the run before cutting.

The Scaleauto SC-1627 is a 2 mm braided cable with silicone sleeve, 1 metre long, designed for slot car track wiring and electrical installations. Its braided conductor ensures low resistance and stable conductivity, while the silicone insulation offers superior flexibility and heat resistance compared to standard PVC cables. A reliable choice for slot car enthusiasts, club track builders and hobbyists looking for quality electrical components from a trusted brand.
